WHAT'S MANI
written for THE MEssENeER }

Written for THE MESSENGER
AS the sun on the mountain melteth the snow,
That rushes in torrents down to the river below
So man came like waves out Of the sea,
Evolved from the depths forever mystery
On the wings of science scan well the natural
law,
Midst hope and fear and reverential awe
Behold the eternal inexorable, unchanging
will.
Man is but a drop from Natures eternal stil.
Prehistoric man beyond the scientist prolific
pen
Dwelling in caves and prImeval forest, and
Wandering along the Mediterranean basin ap-
pears
In tribal wars, driven by his hope ana fears.
Behold our ancestors far in the past,
Contemplate their brutality, and alas
Trace man to the present hour,
And hear him clamOr stn for war.
AS in the years past even so now,
Man still strives for tame and power;
First conquest, then golden crown,
So reads his history all the ages down.
The ever poor unthinklng, enslaved masses
Have followed the heartless cunning classes
The curse OF power is in the want Of wisdom
to use IT,
The classes have ever used It, only to abuse it
The form Of government wiz not alter the fac
So long as the producer must carry the pack
Ignorance, superstition, party idolatry' thes
three
Chain the masses to the Glasses in slavery
I may miss the fact, but to me it is clear
The masses still worship the golden calf here
The classes separated the calf from the gol'
But the calf can't see It, for he is calf
old.

VERY LARGE BANK CHECKS.
Cases Wherein the Ownership of Mil.
lions Is Transferred by Small
slip of Paper.

Wall street banking these, days in
wolves the use of some very large
checks Single items of $1,000. 600 or
$10,0O0,oOO are frequently seen, and
much greater amounts are sometimes
transferred through the interchange
of a narrow slip of paper. Most of
these items are collected through the
clearinghouse. except in cases where
they are deposited in the bank on
which they are drawn, says the New
York Times.
At the time that the Third Avenue
railroad property changed hands, two
checks. aggregating S34,50O.00O. were
given out. One of the checks. for ST.
100000. passed through the clearing
house May &c, 1900. 1t was drawn by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. on the National CITY
bank, and was collected by the Bank
OF Commerce for the Morton Trust
company. Another check, drawn by
the same firm for s17.5OO,0oo on the
Bank of Commerce, did not pass through
the clearing it being collected
by the Morton Trust company from the
bank direct. Previous to that. on Feb
ruary !, 1901, a check for s23, 127 900
was drawn by j. P. Morgan & Co. on
the First national bank. That was
also collected direct without passing
through the Clearinghouse. In con-
nection with the purchase of Southern
Pacific stock by the Union Pacific COM
pany. check for s14 500 900 was drawn
on the Mercantile Trust COMPANY
March S, 1901. The check given fort
night ago in payment of Lake Shore
holdings of Reading stock was for ST.
100000, and ranks. so far as known. as
the second largest check ever used in
local banking.

A Story Without
a Climax " X
BY BETTE L. REYNOLDS.

IT was one of those rainy days in
/ autumn. with all the suggestion
of winter in it, except that feeling OF
snugness that makes it such pleas
ure to curl up before wood fire and
bury yourself and your troubles in a
book, but this element being missing,
Beatrice Russell found it impossible
to settle down to book. There are
moments when the most inveterate
book-worm finds it hard to compose
his thoughts into an appreciative au-
dience for any one, moments when
they go roaming instead into the fu-
fure, or back into the past, where the
ghost of ones dead self keeps ever
at ones side, and leads one on from
tomb to tomb in that burial land of
dead hopes and broken dreams. In
to some such valley of shadows the
tiny ghost had led Beatrice while in
reality she had been roaming from
point to point of the room, now paus-
ing to take up half a dozen books
only to slide them back into the case
with a half page read and take up
her wandering which brought her to
anchor at last near the hearth where
glowed bed of Goals. Leaning her
head against the mantel she stood
staring down at them gloomily.
What she saw there was the story
Of two lives as closely interviewer as
