JAPAN'S REPLY.

@ HE reply of Japan to Russias latest note to the
powers complaining of the conduct of Japan and
charging specific acts is model of concseness in
The Mikados of the direct school of
diplomats, and don't words say thing when

diplomacy the high SEAS the Japanese statesmen

method may be surmised when remember the stam-
pedng of 5000 Chinese, men, and children, into
the turbid Amur, drown while army of Cossacks
lined the bank and shot sabered all who tried to e-
cape.
From that long march Russia has emerged into
the light of publicity. She can longer conceal her
operations from the world. She is stranglng the

curious, because the wooden Indians
were far more distinctive as signs than
any others to be seen; their Introduction

be seen everywhere, in Europe as well
as in America. There were other fg-

Il False Fucker.

Have you heard the story of how a
small boy vigorously sucking on lime
broke up the playing of a brass band
by interfering with the delicate pucker
of the lips necessary to blow a wind
Instrument" asked Jock Keogh, secre-
tary of the Musicians Union of this
city. Without a proper pucker you
get nothing but goose notes. Schu-
mann was a great admtrer of the clari-
onet and wrote for it a celebrated num-
Der, to play which a young lady
pianiste recently asked me to her
house. She invited several friends as
we'll.
Unknown to her, some wag in the
family supplied each guest with lime
with which to experiment upon me. I
never dreamed of the sour mine which
was laid, and had just got well into the
beautiful solo. when noticed each one
of the guests take out of his pocket a
lime and begin to suck it. If I had not
heard the small boy story don't know
what the effect on me would have been,
but having heard it, 1 started to laugh.
Laughter is about as dangerous to a
correct lip as lime is. so of course 1
broke down. They coaxed me to go on,
but not knowing how they might apply
the ammunition to me in case their ex-
pertinent failed, I decided not TO per-
form further as a human target, and
refused to play. The company missed
the Schumann number, but probably
had as much pleasure out of their joke.

ment or measure of questionable
soundness adopted by a party of en-
thusiasts to advance personal inter-
ests ot their own.
In selling the bonds of a private cor
poration one. must know thoroughly the
history of the company, its earnings,
its fixed charges. its prospects-in gen

In railroad bonds the features TO be
noted are the amount of business done,
the mileage, the expense of operation.
gross and net profits and Indebtedness.
OF great Importance to the seller of
bonds is what we may term the trading
instinct, which is to a large extent
natural gift, although it can be devel-
oped and even in a measure created.
Some men care very shrewd at bar
gains and can decide instantly whether
there is advantage in a contemplated
transaction. Such an instinct is of i'm
mense value to man who embarks in
this business. A shrewd trader will be-
come familiar with the personality of
his customers. He will seek to know
their pecuIiarities. their prejudices con-
train Of reasoning that they invariably
call uD when attempting TO decide an
investment proposition. He should at
tempt TO conduct his dealings
according 10 his customers ideas
and methods. and not try to make a
customer conform to his own. His posi-
ton in the transaction is 10 accommo-
date the purchaser and give him what
he wants unless he clearly sees that
his client is making a grave mistake.
A complete and minute acquaintance
with a score of investors is of more
value 10 a bond man than casual rela-
tions with 500 whom he cannot ap-
proach with the same confidence and
personal understanding.
The young mans first work outside
Of the office may be in the other line,
however-the buying department. Here
again the traders instinct is of the
highest Importance, for the purchaser
must be able to recognize good bar
gains and take immediate advantage Of
them. Success as buyer demands an
elaborate knowledge Of all the condi-
tions that go to make up successful
sellers equipment. OF course, a deci-
sion upon purchases of bonds is left 10
the heads of the concern, who are in
possession of an accumulation Of in
formation covering years Of research
gathered from every possible source
and supplemented from time to time
by personal Investigations and reports
Of special representatives of the com
pany Nothing less than an accurate
knowledge of conditions affecting the
stability of an investment covering a
period of many years and brought up
70 date will suffice for the safe pur-
chase of either municipal or corporation
securities. and it is impossible to place
any limits upon the degree of ability in
this work that can be acquired by
young man who is determined to reach
the top.

Motherhood.

Come to my arms, my darling,
Come for the nightfall is near.
Come, and thy mother shall send thee
To dreamland with never a fear.
Come and thy mother shall sing thee
A lullaby softly and low
Sing thee to rest and to dreamland
Ere darker the day doth grow.
And as thou sleepest. my deaF-one,
Visions will come to her eyes
Visions of thee. strong in manhood,
Noble and gentle and wise.
Her heart will glow at the picture.
Thrilling with joy and with pride.
Yet the tears sadly fall as she presses
AThee close, little one, to her side.
And she knows that always at twilight
Wherever. whatever thou art
The same little lullaby, darling.
She'll sing to thee down in her heart.

LOST BANK BOOKS.
The Way DepOsitOrs Are Protected
and Made More Careful.


IF we don't have at least five per-
sons every day come in here TO give
notice of their lost bank book we think
IL unusual" said cashier of one of the
city banks recently.
"As soon as book is reported lost
check is made against 1t in the bank,
and the loser is requested to advertise
the loss. For from fortnight TO thirty
days ensuing no money can be with
drawn on that account, unless the book
shall be found. II not found the de-
positor must apply for new book.
Generally an affidavit must first be
made that the loser cannot find the
ferred or assigned.
"All this Is scarcely necessary, but
1t makes bank absolutely safe in re-
spect to that deposit, and IL puts the
depositor to enough trouble TO make
him or her careful thereafter. Every
thing having been performed as out
lined, the depositor may get new
book, which means opening n new ac-
count, as accounts are never duplicated.
In my experience OF many years /
do not recall case where finders have
presented books in hopes of withdraw
ing money. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for Il person not the owner of
the book to withdraw cent on the
account. AT the time of the original
deposit the depositor, before getting n
book, has to answer certain questions
which are framed to fix the depositor's
identity and to protect the dcpoSitor.
The depositor must also leave an auto
graph on the bank register. Whenever
money is withdrawn these questions
must be answered and the autograph
attacked to an order. This is an eff
fectual test. Each book is numbered
and bears the dcpositor's name.
I'VE have been asked If depositors
would not be better protected if banks
omitted the name from the book and
simply numbered It, We can see no
advantage In that. The plnn would not
defeat the purposes of Il thief, for one
who would steal Il bank book would
know the name of the owner. and the
withdrawal of deposits is SO well
guarded that even with the owners
name n finder could not get money
from the bank
There are probably from 200 to
1900 books lost every year. of which
400 to 500 eventually turn up. That
means from onethird to two-ffths of
l per cent of the whole number of
that number get back to the owners.
Where the rest 20 is II puzzle not to be
solved. Chicago Tribune
