MISSOURI BANKERS

State Association Selects Rubey as

These were the officers reported by

The Woman's Federation had voted
for others not on the nominating com.

mented on by the bankers, and they
decided that that was not according
to political Hoyle. and hence Endorsed
their own nominating committee
without a dissenting vote.

headquarters to Sedalia, because Sc

brought out the assertion that there
are more bank burglars in Missouri
now than ever before. and hence II is
of the greatest importance that the
banks protect themselves to the best
of their ability.
These banks are members of the

PLACE OF HISTORICAL MEMORY.
Fraunee's Tavern In New York Ma
tional Institution.

tional Institution.
Both because of its antiquity and be-
cause of the many historical memories
that are associated with it, Fraunces
Tavern in New York well deserves to
be taken over by the city and main
tanned as public property forever.
Short of that, however, it is not I'M
fitting that 1t should now become the
headquarters of the New York State
Society of the Sons of the Revolution,
which has now purchased it,
The tavern stands at the southeast
corner of Broad and Pearl streets, and
originally was the mansion of the De-
lancey family. Having later been
turned into a tavern, it became as
early as 1868 assured of historical
memory, for in that year it witnessed
the organization of the New York
Chamber of Commerce.
The event which gave it it's widest
fame, however, was Washington's fare
we'll meeting with his officers at the
close of the revolutionary war. Wash
ington chose it for his headquarters
when he entered the city after the
evacuation by the British. He re-
manned in New York but nine days,
and then at noon on Thursday, Dec. 4,
1888, he summoned the chiefs o? his
army to meet him in the great room
Of the tavern.
II was one Of the few occasions in
Washington's life when he gave way
to emotion. With the men before him
he had shared the perils and hRTdships
of the long years of the war. His
words to them were: with a heart
full Of love and gratitude l now take
leave of you, and most devoutly wish
your latter days may be as prosper
Gus and happy as your former ones
have been glorious and honorable"
He drank their health, and after a
pause said: 81 cannot come to each
of you to take my leave, but shall be
obliged If you will each come and
shake me by the hand" Gen. Knox
came forward first and then the other
officers silently in turn.
Afterwards, as before, the tavern
was long the gathering place of the
men of wealth and fashion of New
York. Many a political movement in
the early days of the republic had it's
headquarters there, and the meetings
of the Clinton men, who called them
selves Federal Republicans" are
especially remembered. Few Ameri-
can buildings have had an active
life"-if that term may be used
which stretched over so long period

New Braunfels, Texas, May 22rd.-
A remedy has been found which cures
every form of Kidney Trouble from
Bright's Disease down, including
Rheumatism or Heart Trouble. Mr..

her, till we tried Dodd's Kidney Pills
and the first box of this medicine did
her more good than all the other pills
and medicine she had used. We are
very thankful to Dodd's Kidney Pills
for what they have done for her"

wonderful work in the relief and cure
of Rheumatism, Diabetes and Kidney
troubles of all kinds.
