OLD STORAGE OF WEALTH
Wonderful Vault That Biiiionaires
Use For Deposit of Securities.

Wonderful Vault That Biiiionaircs
Use For Deposit of Securities.
Many persons who have been amazed
during the past few days at the hold
ings OF stock certificates that repre-
sent millions OF dollars by some OF the
magnates OF Wall street have more
than once wondered where on earth
the stacks of certificates are slowed
away over night. Some OF the certifi-
Gates are passed day after day In their
business deals from owners to owners
who have not strong underground
vaults. nor do all firms on the street
have vaults above the average kind,
says New York correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
BE that as IL may, from this time
out the millions In bonds and certiii-
Gates and other street. valuables, as
well as valuables owned elsewhere; in
this city and other cities, are to be
slowed away In a safe in deposit
company on Broad street which has
just been put in commission. 1t is the
biggest safe in the world. In this safe
are already deposited more securities
than in any other one place in the
world. Wealth untold is represented
there by stocks'and bonds, jewelry and
silver plate. Here also repose the wills
OF many of the biggest millionaires in
America.
So vast are the financial interests
concerned in this safe that the board Of
directors in charge OF 1t is made to rep
resent every faction OF the financial
world. John d. Rockefeller, ]. z. Nor
gan, the Vanderbilts. the Rothschilds,
the Harrimans, the Goulds and other
large interests have personal represent
atives on the board. The door leading
into the safe is tremendous piece OF
mechanism. 1t is circular. eight feet
In diameter and twenty-four inches
thick. 1t weighs twenty-one tons. The
hinges or this big door weigh 1000
pounds. The door and vestibule weigh
fifty tons. and yet so nicely is the door
balanced on ball bearings that a baby
might close 1t with the gentle pressure
or its tiny finger. The safe is fifty.
three feet long. thirty-eight feet wide
and nine feet in height. The walls are
four feet thick. The interior is fitted
up with 1000 boxes. but 5000 more
Will be added as they are needed.
Formidable as the mechanical appii.
nnces for safety are. they are not de-
pended on altogether. Day and night
men guard the big door. They pace
back and forth like soldiers on guard.
Three times In the night third watch
man walks through the corridor to see
that the sentinels are attending to their
duty. IL ever burglar gets anything
out OF the safe. Wall street will go out
OF business

BIC Game THAT Once scared Young
Teddy Rooseye,t.
Vice President Roosevelt was not al
ways the mighty bunter he is now.
He has had his day of being afraid OF
big game. But that was many years
ago. when he was a wee little boy tn
short trousers and used TO play tag In
MADISON square In New York, says a
writer In Harper's Weekly.
Opposite the square, on the east side,
stood a Presbyterian church. and the
sexton, while airing the building one
Saturday, noticed n small boy peering
curiousiy in at the half open door. bur
making no move to enter.
Come In, my little man, IL you wish
TO-" said the sexton.
mo. thank YOU" said the boy; al
know what you've got I'm there"
Il haven't anything that little boys
mayn't see. Come in"
I'D rather not" And the juvenile
Theodore cast sweeping and some
what appreaeDsive glance around the
pews and galleries and bounded Off to
play again.
Still the lad kept returning once I'm
awhile and peeping In. When he went
home that day, he told his mother of
the sections invitation and his unwill-
ingness to except Ii.
But why didn't you go In, my dearT'
she asked. 1T is the house OF God,
but there is no harm In entering it
quietly and looking about"
With some shyness the little fellow
confessed that he was afraid to go in
because the zeal might jump out at
him from under pew or somewhere.
1.-THE zeal? What is the zealY' the
mother inquired.
why" explained Theodore. 81 sup
pose 1t is some big animal, like drag
on or an alligator. j went there to
church last Sunday with Uncle r.. and
1 heard the minister read from the 81
bic about the zeal, and 1t frightened
me-"
Down came the concordance from
the library shelf, and one after anoth-
er Of the texts containing the word
'zeaP' was read to the child. whose
eyes suddenly grew big and his voice
excited as he exclaimed:
THAT'S 1.-THE last you readp'
1t was Psalm Xix, 8. For the zeal
Of thine house hath eaten me up."

the mother, "Can nothing be done for
that child?" 'sNo." answered the moth
er. nothing can be done. The village
doctor said the great surgeons in New
York might help him. OF course we
have no money to send him there"
The rich lady pitied the child. She
took him to New York. While there
the surgeons Strengthened out the Grip
pied limbs. But though the little child
was at that time cripple, yet on ac-
count of what the rich lady was doing
for him he had strength enough to
crawl into the rich lady's heart Then
the rich lady went back and said to the
mother: 'Sinee i have been caring for

Will you let me adopt him? / want to

In as much as it has pleased
Our heavenly Father to take out
of this world our beloved and
worthy brother, W. E. Jordon,
and,
Whereas, in his death our
country has lost one of her best
citizens, the church an able
minister of the gospel; the fami
ly a tender, devoted and loving
husband and father, and the
Independent Order of Odd Eel
lows an active, loyal member.
Then therefore be it
Resolved, that we bow in
humble submission to our Faith
er above and pray his tender
mercies and Fatherly care over
the sorrowing family. That we
as Odd Fellows, keep sacred the
DRY of our worthy brother,
deceased; emulate his worthy
traits of character, keep our
lodge room creped and wear the
same for sixty days in honor Of
him, and furthermore be it
Resolved, that copy of these
resolutions be furnished the be.

they be spread on the journal of
