There is only one handicap. Rox-

All the ingenuity of English chronolo-

claim to his title, and from 1909 to 1873
it was not recognized, and is still dis
puted in the English courts.
Lewis Ker, truckman in New York,
who for 46 years has bid for work at
Greene and Grand streets, claims the
titles and estates of the duke Of Rox-
burghe as his own. While Ker does not
expect to succeed in establishing his
right, he may yet resume the fight.
So good this claim seemed to him to
be in 1880 that Hamilton Fish devoted
nearly five years in England to the case

DON RA1MONDO VILLAVERDE.
New Premier of Spain Who Was Born
Under Lucky Starr
his time and talent to his profession,
Senior Villaverde studied assidulously So
cial and economical sciences, for which
he had always felt prediction, and
through his great intelligence soon rose
TO prominence. He was successfully
named minister Of justice and of finance
to the general satisfaction.
The most interesting period Of Villa
verde's political career began in 1899
after the disastrous war with the United
States. When the treaty Of peace had
been signed and new cabinet, presided
over by the leader of the conservative
party, Senior Silvela, was formed, politi~
cal men as we'll as the majority of the
people recognized the urgent necessity OF
introducing ample and radical reforms
into all branches of public administra-
ton and adopting sound and liberal
policy apt to raise the credit OF the land.
Senior Villaverde, who occupied In Sill
vela's cabinet the post Of minister Of
finance, brought bill Of taxation before
parliament, with which he intended to
increase the income Of the treasury from
$50, 900 900 to 1000, 100000 pesetas and
with his peculiar energy and firmness
he succeeded in having his project ap-
proved.
But this heavy taxation raised such
storm of protest throughout the whole
of Spain and so numerous and bloody
were the riots which it caused In various
provinces that Senior Villaverde was
Obliged to send in his resignation and
two or three months afterward, partly
owing to this and partly to the unpopular
marriage of the princess OF the Asturtas
with Don Carlos of Bourbon, the whole
cabinet was also forced to resign. The
queen then decided to trust Villaverde
with the formation of new ministry,
but in consequence of the unpopularity
of his taxes, he found nobody disposed to
second him in the work and therefore
he had to renounce the charge.
Later the announcement that the gov
eminent, through Senior Sanchez Toca,
intended to bring a bill into parliament
for the construction Of the fleet, was SUI
ficient to call forth demonstrations Of
hostility in the chamber Of deputies, as
well as all over Spain. Then King Al
phonso, interpreting the desires Of his
country, called on Senior Villaverde to
form a new cabinet The elevation of
this distinguished statesman to the high
est Office signifies the triumph Of a firm
and saving financial policy of Spain.

BOY BANKER TALKS.
Words Of Wisdom Spoken BY Man
of Few Years.
Carl n. Sehults, Called By Some New
York's s'Boy Bank Presldent," 10
Conservative and Takes
Maternal Advice.

Carl Rudolph Schultz, who has been
elected president of the Equitable Ma
tional bank, New York, at the age Of II
years, and who is the youngest bank
president in the United States. holds the
same general ideas about the way to run
a bank as did George G. Williams, who,
at his death last May. was II years old,
and the oldest bank president In the
country.
"A banker should be very careful new
er to drift away from the sound princi-
pies of finance" said Mr.. Schultz. HE
should avoid anything that savors Of
speculation and when even the shadow OF
a doubt arises as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF
making a loan he should keep his funds
In his vaults. He cannot err too much
on the side of conservatism. Let the
bank be contented with very small
profit rather than run the slightest risk.
He should never be plunger."
President Williams, Of the Chemical
National bank, in an interview few
weeks prior to his death, said: THE
greatest problem the financiers OF New
York city have to solve is to keep their
financial principles sound. They should
be so firmly anchored to them that moth
ing could drag them away"
Although there was fifty years diner
ence between the oldest bank president
and the youngest, they looked on the
world of finance with the same eyes. 1t
is Mr.. Schultz's aim to emulate Mr.. Will
liams' highly honorable and successful
career and he will continue to make a
model of the older man, whom he calls
''the ideal bank president"
Mr.. Schultz was the principal promoter
Of the Equitable National bank and was
an incorporation. The bank was started

of the county around Doneraile, and ita
meetings were held often under the pres

It happened that on such an occasion
the lodge was held in room separated
from another by stud and brickwork.
The subject Of this sketch being prob
ably giddy and thoughtless. determined
to crafty her curiosity. With a pair OF
scissors she removed portion OF .
brick from the wall and placed herself
so as to command full view Of every
thing which occurred in the next room.
In this position she witnessed the first
extent of the proceedings of the lodge
that night. From what she heard when
the members OF the lodge were about to
separate, for the first time she felt trem'
blingly alive to the awkwardness and the
danger of her situation. and began to
consider how she could retire without
observation.
She became nervous and agitated and
stumbled against and overthrow chair.
The crash was loud, and the tyler OF

alarm. burst open the door, and with
light in one hand and drawn sword in
the other, appeared to the now terrified

under guard of the tyler and member,
in the room in which she had been found.
The members reassembled and deliber-
ated for two hours as to what was to be
done.
At length It was resolved to give the
young woman the option of submitting to
the Masonic ordeal to the extent she had
witnessed 1t, or, II she refused, the mem

RISE OF VILLAVERDE
New Prime Minister of Spain Z
Child of the People.
Made His Way to the Front By Watch.
inE Trend of Public Opinion and
True Devotion to His Fa-
therl0nd.

Don Raimundo Villaverde, Spain's
new premier, is one of the luckiest Of
middle-class mortals. His parents were
modest. well-to-do country folk. but
there was no reason to suppose that their
boy was going to climb up to the highest
post within the gift OF the Spanish peo-
pie. He started out as lawyer, endowed
with brains and an eloquent tongue, per-
severance and lots Of ambition. There
after the steps Of fame were Interestingly
marked. He had crowds Of clients and
was elected to parliament. Afterward
he attracted attention by hard work,
participation in every possible debate
and mastering all sorts Of dry subjects.
He was too busy to concern himself with
the brilliant aristocracy Of Madrid,
which had shown some inclination to
take to its bosom such good-looking
and promising young man.
He made sudden dash into society un-
der the wings Of the duchess de Denia,
at whose palace guest could meet every
body-the greatest politicians, artists
and men of science to be found in Madrid.
The smart young member from Galicia
soon made himself popular in this set
and for the first time seems to have been
detected from his path to glory. So
many Spanish beauties Of high degree
lavished their affections on him that he
became for a while veritable butterfly
Of fashion.
A rich and attractive woman, the mar
chioness of Pozo Rubio, offered to marry
the handsome young gallant and was
forthwith accepted. Senior Villaverde
then put definite stop to all frivolity and
once more devoted himself to fruitful
labor for the welfare of his country, be-
ing no longer required to sacrifice all

Hoxx to Take Castor Oil.

An easy way Of taking castor oil
without producing any nauseating ef-
fects is for the patient to wash out his
mouth with water as hot as can be
borne, and then swallow the oil, and
follow this by rinsing out the mouth
veil with hot water. The first swallow
of the water cleanses the mouth, makes
the membranes warm, so that the oil
does not stick, and consequently slips
down easily.

morsel OF raw meat as his reward at the
end of the play.
Bobs is Miss Shannon's bodyguard and
he serves well for this purpose, his war
like appearance frightening would-be
Washers or thugs. One night last sea-
son while in western town Miss Shan
non was on her way to her hotel after the
performance when man slightly under
the influence of liquor came up to speak
to her. Bobs observed the stranger and
noticed his approach to his mistress. He
bristled, showed his ugly teeth and gave
a growl that made the masher take to
his heels.
Nothing would induce the actress to
part with her pet, although at times Bobs
is somewhat Of trial. He Is playful,
in his cumbersome way, and is US affec-
tionate as a kitten. He has habit of
trying to sit in Miss Shannon's lap when
ever she sits down, but as he
weighs something like 60 pounds
he is not exactly the sort Of
lap dog lady desires. Bobs is particu-
larly fond of sitting on the white cloth
which Miss Shannon has spread in her
dressing room to protect her costumes
and the dog generally manages to get in
the way, so in order to keep him off the
white rug Miss Shannon's maid places
a white sheet in the far corner of the
dressing room and there Bobs is coaxed
before the process of dressing begins.
Being on a white rug he is satisfied and
remains contentedly until called to 60
home.
