JUDGE PARKER'S DOUBLE

Judge Alton B. Parker's double has at

New York tobacconist.
Mr.. Mueller is a very large man, tall,
muscular and strong and bears a Won
derful resemblance to portraits Of Judge
Parker. He is a wag and delights in
showing a collection Of newspaper clip

tell you. I've strung officeseekers,

Mr.. Mueller has often seen Judge

binary letter Of credit system where the
holder. when he draws draft under his
credit, IS required TO put upon it a sigma
ture exactly corresponding with a sigma
ture he has 10 put on the face OF the
letter Of credit before It Is issued to him.
In this connection an extremely inter
esting point has just been raised by a
clever swindle recently perpetrated on
one OF the firms who do a large business
in this line. This house sold an I'M
known individual a letter of credit for
cash. At a small town In Germany this
man drew a draft for nearly the entire
amount OF the credit, marked ii l. C,
1000 and took IL 10 a local bank, who
was not a regular correspondent Of the
banker who issued the credit,
A Private Code.
The man explained that ie was draw
ing the check against a large balance
he carried in London. and that the let
tiers Il C, LOCO had TO do with a pri-
vate code. He never mentioned the fact
that he had a letter OF credit. In due
time the local firm received word that
the draft had been honored in London
and then paid out the proceeds to the
man for whom they had collected the
draft The latter then having I'm his
possession a letter Of credit on the back
of which nothing had been endorsed.
and apparently unused, took il to a
regular correspondent of the New York
banker. cashed a draft for the regular
amount, and disappeared. In due time
TINS draft found its way to London, and
through the house on whom It was
drawn Immediately realized that # over
drew the credit, they had no choice but
70 pay * as 1t was regular in every re-
spect even having attached 10 il the eE-
hausted credit.
A Nice Point.
1t is a nice point as 10 where the
responsibility rests. sufficient time not
yet having elapsed TO have the ma tier
settled.
The volume Of drafts drawn on Lon
don under letters Of credit, in every
part OF the earth. provides a constant
demand for exchange on LOndDl n:
the part Of New York bankers who
issue credits. The individual amOuIts
are small. but the aggregate foots up
TO an immense total, and is unquestiou-
ably a factor OF prime Importance I'm
drawing down the available supply of
exchange to the point where gold mas

Mr.. Clark was guardian Of the Yosemite
valley, and he has lived there ever
since the wonderful chasm in the heart
Of the Sierra Nevada was discovered by
white men,
Half a century ago. when GaIen Clark
went from Massachusetts to California,
he was a seeker Of health rather than
Of gold. for he was a victim Of con-
sumption, and was supposed to be be
yond cure. It was not known then that
living in the open air would restore
health to a consumptive. but Galen
Clark had given up hope OF help from
medicine. and he believed that he might
prOlOng his life by getting closer to
nature and breathing only the pure air
OF the wilderness in a climate more
genial than that of the shores Of Mas
sachusetts Bay.
Discovered in 1851.
The Yosemite valley was discovered
in 1851 by a party of settlers and miners
who were pursuing a band of maraud-
ing Indians. but the descriptions given
by them were meager and conveyed no
adequate idea Of the beauty and grand
eur Of the valley. and the Yosemite vas

Galen Clark was Of different temporal

profoundly as Hutchings, he was not
moved 10 make the Yosemite a back
ground for his own personality, but was
content 10 let his companion wear the
honors Of discovery and publicity.
The First Explorations.
Hutchings published some years. ago a
book about Yosemite. in which he told at
length Of his wanderings with Clark in
the wilderness and reprinted descriptive
articles and woodcuts that appeared
originally in his magazine. which flour
ished in CALIFORNIA; early days. The
drawings were made by Nahl, a famous
illustrator of the time. and their very
fidelity makes them seem quaint, almost
grotesque, today. one of the pictures
shows Hutchings and Clark engaged In
combat with a grizzly bear IN or near
the Mariposa Big Tree grove.
The hunters are attired IN long-tailed
coats and peg-top trousers, and wear
tall silk hats. The artist was guilty of
no solecism, for the Argonauts Of '49 did
go into the wilderness so attired. and all
the realistic sketches of scenes in the
diggings show the gold-washers wearing
stove-pipe hats.
