Good and Bad Fortune About Balanced

There is such a thing as luck-and

said fireside philosopher MANY
men are heard to complain because
they don't have luck, but I'm fairly
well satisfied, for have had half-luck
all my days.
when / was little shaver about
years old my mother sent me on horse
back from our farm to the country
store at the crossroads, to exchange,
or trade, as We then said, six eggs
for some brown sugar. l carefully
placed the eggs three in one jacket
pocket and three in the other. My
mother wanted me to carry them in a
little basket or a bag, but / had my
own notions and wouldn't do it. We'll,
in trying to make our old horse Dolly,

after the sugar-also a lively switch
ing from my mother for breaking the
eggs. That's what / mean by half
luck had broken only half the eggs
and was both rewarded and punished.
This half-luck has presided over
my life throughout" continued the
philosopher, according to the Detroit
Free Press. I've made money and
lost some of it; good health is mine
about half the time; one of my sons
is industrious-the otLer is not! one
daughter married well and the other

me and the other one could influence.
So it has gone-half-luck all the way
along; but I'm not complaining; no,
indeed. I'd be afraid to complain for

LARGE LOANS QUICKLY MADE.
Great Sums often Raised by Wall

Street Banks at Hours Notice.
An interesting question often ask
ed in Wall street concerns the
amount of capital that a large bank
could raise at an hours notice. That
is, how much accommodation could
a bank extend a customer unexpect-
edly confronted with pressing need
or for the purpose of financing a
great deal A banker of interna-
tional experience is authority for the
statement that Wall streets facili-
ties in this regard are superior to
Londons, in that large undertake
ing could be financed here with much
greater dispatch than on the other
side
Said an officer of one of Wall
streets most important banks: 1T
is no trouble at all, nowadays to
raise S5,0O0,O00 or $6,0OO,OOO within
an hour. l have. seen it done too
often to think for a moment that it
would tax seriously a large banks
resources. Five times that sum, say
$25,0O0,O00, can be raised at twenty
four hours notice. 1t has been done.
OF course, no one bank could do it,
but the great Wall street institutions
are linked together in such way as
to provide almost unlimited re-
sources for the financing of any safe
deal The large banks think little of
100000 or $2,O0O0OO loans these
days, whereas in former years they
attracted general attention, for such
large amounts were released only
after considerable negotiations. But
that has all changed now."-New

We hear much of the "forefathers"

History for the most part has been
written by men. 1t refers, therefore,
chiefly to masculine interests and to
masculine exploits. The annals of the

history is usually composed. yet the

Since the reign Of King Alfred, some
thing like a thousand years ago,
Towneley hall and park in England
have been in possession of the Towne-
ley family, which traces its origin
back for more than a thousand years.
The members of this family have a
distinct claim to celebrity, for it is to
be feared that the famous lamp Of
Towneley chapel was the last of the
so-called ever-burning lamps in Eng

century there were some half a dozen
known to fame still alight and which
had been burning for centuries, while
at the time of the reformation and
the dissolution Of the monasteries by
King Henry VIII. there we're many
hundreds of them that had been burn

English scientists have been collect
ing statistics regarding the aptitude
of school children. Among the inter-
esting results of their observations are
facts which show a relation between
color of the skin and hair and mental
proficiency. They say that the au-

head of their recitation classes, and
that blond girls are the best at learn
ing
The auburn and blond girls come
out best in arithmetic, but are not
good at composition. Dark-haired
children of both sexes seem to have
better imaginative qualities than the
fair ones, and have much better style
in composition. The dark boys behave
better than the fair, and are more SEN
sitive to praise or blame. Probably
the reason is that the auburn and
blond children. being Of Flemish orr
gin, are more phlegmatic than the
dark ones.
