Many stories are told Of Mcdonald
Clarke. known atty years ago in New

that he had a vein Of great shrewd

people who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at q table
in a New York hotel quietly eating
his simple dinner when two youni
men took their seats at the same table
Mcdonald Clarke was a well-knowI
figure, and the young men at once
recognized him, though he did no

They were not gentlemen in the bes

to them that they might have som'

quently one of them said in an un

II have seen almost everything ant
everybody in New York except Nc

When 10 passed the mad poe
leaned forward and said with eviden
qualifications:
"Sir, l am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see."
The young man stared at him Will

Absent Treatment.

A young mother left her baby with

in order to attend the wedding Of a
relative who lived In town about a
hundred miles distant. The young
woman, apparently free from all fam
lily cares. spent an enjoyable evening;
but just as the newly weuued couple
were preparing to depart on the mid
night train, an expression of acute an
xiety flashed across the young moth
er's countenance.
"Oh, George" she exclaimed, clutch

But George. she'll never think of

She was right. A hundred miles
away a weary grandmother was at her
wits end because she could think Of
nothing that would pacify wailing

ent bank, the successor to the old
Lindemann-Ruskb bank, The old bank
was organized for specified number
OF years, and after Jerre Rusk died
the new bank organized under nearly
