ton to the close.
His Introductory remarks were es-
pecially good. His presentation OF
himself and his subject to re an
dIence. asking thier syn pathy and
help and kind attention, was well con-
sidered and gracefully delivered. His
introductory remarks to the lecture
proper. were eloquent, well connected
and entertaining, with good thoughts
here and there through it all. The dog
goued' traits of human nature were
made plain, mellowed and subdued by
the kindly character of the speaker.
His poem on the flea, introduced just
when and where it was, convulseo the
house with laughter.
One of the best hits he made, how
ever, was impromptu; showing not
only the originality but the good ma
ture of the man. Just when the
speaker had gotten his audience
well in hand and was warming up to
his theme. the electric lights as they
have a most provoking way of doing J

darkness. When the gas jets were lit.

A SHORTAGE or $4,000.
Cashier of the Bristol, Mass, National
Bank Under surveillance.

Taunton, Mass, Jan. 6.-Harry H.
Townsend, cashier of the Bristol Coun-
ty National bank, is reported to be $685.
900 short in his accounts, the deficit
having been found tonight by Bank
Examiner Ever. The breach of trust
is said to have been due to speculation
in cotton futures. The cashier is under
the eye of a United States officer until
the banks affairs are further looked
into. The bank has a capitalization Of
100000 and by its December statement
the surplus fund was shown to be $780,
600 and undivided profits $4,000 One
of the directors stated tonight that the
$4,000 mentioned is the outside figure
of the defafcaton and that the bank S
surplus will amply protect all interests.
The director also said that Cashier
Townsend, when the Irregularities were
called to his attention, admitted that
he was short in his accounts to the
amount stated.
Bank Examiner Ewer's visit tonight
was entirely unexpected and it is I'M
derstood that it was prompted by a
suspicion that everything was not just
right when he made an examination of
the accounts short time ago. Cashier
Townsend had worked in the bank in
various capacities since he left school
some twenty-five years ago. One of
the directors was asked as to the period
covered and by what method the defal-
cation was made possible. He said
that apparently it had been going on
for two years and Townsend admitted
this. The figures found wrong were in
balances with corresponding banks,
in New York and Boston.

most promising Of his youthful friends
down to the beach shooting. He has
a rifle club for the encourage
ment and practice of craftsmanship
among the older men of the village. 1t
is not surprising that rockingham men
have been fighting at the front
Mr.. Kipling stands aloof from the |
public work of the village, and will |
have none of the local board. He is
not a public man at home. His work is /
probably less known from reading by |
the Rottingdeaners than by the resi-
dents in many an isolated town of |

most popular man in the village, not |
as Rudyard Kipling the poet and au
thor but as Rudyard Kipling the man,

the young men.-Black and White.
