The Financier says: The notable fea-
lures of the official statement Of the
New York associated banks last Week
were the new high record for loans,
though the increase in this item, COM
pared with the previous week, was
small and a loss i'm cash. whereas the
estimates. which were based upon the
traceable movements Cf money during
the week, indicated a gain in this item.
The discrepancy may be accounted for
by the fact that the estimates included
the five days ending on Wednesday
while the bank statement was made
uD from transactions during five days
ending with Thursday On that date
the banks are reported To have sent
more or less money To Baltimore to
facilitate the resumption Of active
business by the institutions in that city

We had little difference
Some years ago.
OF sorrow I make no .pretense,
Although I know
That in the squabh'e Displayed
Fcrbearance slight.~
Well, was wrong, am afraid.
And he was right.
AS we were playmates In our youth
know him Well.
I never liked him, if the truth
I have to tell,
Though he was ever sweet and mild
An angel quite
And in our small disputes the child
Was always right:
lie would forgive me now, I'm surc-
He always did.
That's why I never could endure
Him as a kid.
He so magnanim ously threw
On me that blight.

That he was right.
If some weakness could detect,
Some speck or flaw;
If something in him not correct
only saw,
My just resentment I'd abate;
even might
Be friendly, but a man hate
Who's always right.

VOLUMES OF JoHNNYcAKEs
Rhode Island Housewife Of the Early.
Time Made Ready for Elk :.
. pected Company. !

Asan illustration Of the thrift and fore
sight of some of the housekeepers of the
early period, Halsey P. Clarke, the vet
eran town clerk of Richmond, tells this
story, says the Providence (R. - Jour-
nal. His father, David Clarke, was in
Providence at one time, and, being
obliged to stay over night, for in those
days the means of travel was by horse
and wagon, or horsefiesh, which was
necessarily very slow, he put up at
tavern, and in the room he occupied
were four beds, for there was not much
space wasted in the bedrooms of the
old-time taverns. Before retiring for
the night, Mr.. Clarke and a friend who
was with him struck up an acquaintance
with another occupant of the same room.
The friend of Mr.. Clarke whispered to
him not to tell the stranger where
they came from, and to try to find out
whence he had come; so they inquired
Of him where he had come from, and
he told them that he had just been down
in South county, in-the town of Rich
nlond. He said that when he arrived
i'll the town it was nearly dusk, so he
drew up at a tavern and inquired OF
the landlord for lodging for the night.
The landlord replied in the affirmative.
and sent boy to take his horse, as he
was on horseback. The gentleman went
with the boy and removed the saddle
bags and brought them into the house,
and, throwing them down in the kitch-
en-, stepped up to the fireplace to warm
himself. Over the fireplace was a
mantel shelf, which was nearly half as
long as the room itself, and upon looking
up he saw on this shelf what he supposed
to be row of books.
While he was wondering why there
was such a number Of books in this tav-
ern, more books, he thought, than were
in the entire town, the woman of the
house came in and stirred up the fire
preparatory to cooking the evening
meal. He inquired Of her: "Why is it
you have SO many books here in the
kitchen? Is the towns library here,
or what is it?'',- -"Rooks!" exclaimed
the astonished woman; II don't see any
books. Where are they? Show me
them" Right on that SHELF" replied
the man, "over your head" "Books!"
said she, ooh, la! them amt books;
them's johnny cakes. We expect the
town council here to dinner next week,
and we've baked them johnnycakes SOS
to be ready when they come" Wheth-
er he mistook the johnny cakes, packed
neatly on end upon the shelf, for books
or not, it is hard to say, though there
is no doubt that the story did not lose
anything in the telling, but by actual
count there were 70 johnnycakes on the
shelf.
