Snakes may almost he said to have

err close. They are without lids. and
each is covered with II transparent
scale much resembling glass. When
the reptile casts its outer skin the eye
scales come off with the rest of the
transparent envelope out of which the
snake slips.
This CLASSY eye scale is SO tough that

"'Kate, woman he said, 1t would

BANK WORRIES.
How One Clerk Fretted Whole
Year All For Nothing.

Year All For Nothing.
An ex-bank official said that during
his career in the banking business he
had known more than one employee
of bank to get into trouble on ac-
count of carelessness in handling
money.
one collector, who was a light heart
ed fellow, was going along the street
in high water season Tipping up a
twenty dollar piece with his thumb
and finger and catching it as it came
down Finally 1t slipped and fell
through grating on the sidewalk into
about two feet Of water. He made
some efforts to recover it, but finally
decided to wait till the water was
gone, and then it was found that the
coin was also gone. Another time the
same fellow was coming up the street
with $4,000 in twenty dollar pieces
on his shoulder. In some way he lost
his hold on the sack, and in striking
the sidewalk it burst, and the coins
rolled in all directions. a number of
people rushed to his assistance, but he
described Il large circle around the
sack and, waving his arms wildly, or
dered everybody to stand back" He
recovered most Of the coin but decided
to get out of the banking business.
Another time Il Chinaman came into
the bank and deposited 5000 and took
certificate of deposit. The clerk
who made out the certificate was pre-
occupied and wrote $1,000 on 1t and
on the stub Wien he made up his
cash ut night he WAS $500 short. He
knew where the mistake was and tried
to hunt up the Ghinaman; but, al
though he got a clew, he could never
find him, and he remained $500 short
on the books. He had Il notice of the
date of the certificate, amount, etc,
pasted in his desk and was always on
the lookout to catch the certificate as
1t came in. Just Il year from the day
the deposit was made the Ghinaman
walked into the bank and presented
the certificate to be cashed. When
asked how much he wanted he said
all 5000. lie had never noticed the
mistake In the amount of the certih-
cate. and he has never found it out.
and the clerk suffered the worry of be-
Ing short in his mind for whole year
all for nothing. Portland Oregonian.

BashfulHess is natural to youth.
"Modcsty is the graceful, calm, virtue
Of maturity; hashtulncss the charm Of
viyacious youth, and unless Il young
man takes advantage of opportunities
Of entering society he Will retain an
air of bashfulness, which is in reality
the want of habitual intercourse with
the world (WnYerlcy). As long ago as
1910 Ascham wrote that If young
gentleman be bashfull and soon blush
they call him babishe and i'll brought
up thyng" Deficient social education
is therefore cause of bashfulness

indispoSition To exert oneself. INDUCED
in for too long Il time, may eventually
result in confirmed bashfulness. This
indifference may be due to Il want of
sympathy with the surroundings or
may have its origin in uualloyed self

tremely selfish or may be due to van

but he breathed his last before they
arrived. Heart disease was the imme'

tom that has long been observed in his
household, Mr.. Horton assisted at a
prayer meeting with number OF old
friends who are members Of the Meth
odist Protestant church, and appeared
in the best of health up to the mo.

breast. He leaves q vile and two
daughters.
Dexter Horton was born in New
York State 7S years ago. But little is
known of his early life, or until he
crossed the plains in the great rush to
the golden west.
Mr.. Horton was one OF a party to
,, build a wagon road to Eastern Wash.
ington. This was in 1855. In 1873 a
company was formed and incorporated
under the name of the Seattle Il Walla
Walla Railroad company, with capi-
tai stock of $lOOOO,OOO. This was the
first effort to build railroad to the
coal fields, and was the beginning oil
Seattle's commercial supremacy. The
road. which is now the Columbia &
Puget Sound, was built.
The first bank established in Seattle
was founded in the year 1870 by Dex'
ter Horton and David Phillips, with q
capital OF $4,000.
