Detective Title.


When Beriah Wilkins, who is now
the proprietor Of the Washington Post,
was In congress from Ohio he was also
president of national bank.
He was ordered away by his physi-
clan for a rest and went to a village in
Georgia where he knew nobody and
where nobody knew him, and nobody,
apparently, cared to. He sat around
the hotel for two weeks. Then he de
cided to go back to Washington.
He found he did not have enough
money to pay his hotel bill and railroad
fare. He did not care to make a
check, so he walked over to the little
bank on the public square and told the
aged banker who he was, saying he
desired to make draft for 5000 on the
bank of which he was president.
Il don't know you," said the banker,
"but you can make the draft, and il
the bank honors it / will give you the
money"
81 can't wait that long," Wilkins re-
piled. II want the money now"
Identify yourself" said the banker.
Mr.. Wilkins showed the banker his
name as president of the OHIO bank In
the Bank Directory and produced some
letters.
Wilkins argued. The banker was
obdurate. Finally, after an hours
talk, the banker softened and said:
''Let me see the tag on your shirt. If
the initials are right I'll cash the
draft" Wilkins opened his waistcoat.
The letters 81. P. B." loomed red and
distinct on the tag.
He had on one of half dozen shirts
his shirtmaker had sold him for cost
because the man for whom they were
made didn't take them.- Philadelphia

Senator Depew is something of a
philosopher as well as politician and
corporation lawyer.
He said recently that the narrowest
escape of his life was when he refused,

his father-in-law, the late Gardiner
Hubbard, to develop the new talking
telegraph" now SO commonly known
as the telephone. At that time Mr..
Depew was counsel for Vanderbilt's
Harlem railroad, and Mr.. Hubbard was
railway mail inspector.
