$4,000 is
NOW MISSING.
HOpe.iO Find These in Safe De-
post Vault in
Manhattan.

The affairs of the Bank of Staten
Island whose cashier, Otto Altman,
committed suicide by shooting instead
of by asphyxiation, as was reported in
the Evening News Thursday, are still
in an uncertain condition.
State Bank Examiner Judson SAID
last night that SO far as the examina-
tlon INTO the affairs of the bank had
gone the accounts were in good shape
and that a more perfect and exact set
of accounts he had never seen. The
only flaw found as yet was the alb
sence of bonds amounting in all to
$3.50, 900, which apparently were not
in the bank, but which might DO in
the safe deposit vaults held by the
bank in Manhattan.
MI. Kilburn, Superintendent OF
Banks, he said, would be in Manhat-
tan this morning, and the safe deposit
vaults would be inspected. If the
bonds were fcun1it was almost Ger
tain the shortage, if there was n al
all, would BIO a tnie. II they were
not found there wpuld be a shortage
Of something like $3.50, 600.

RURAL PREJUDICE.
People OF The Country Arc Generally
uspicious of Those Who
Lfv in the City.

81 have often wondered why it is thai
the people of rural sections have such q
deep-rooted prejudice against the people
OF the city" said en- observant man, TO q
New Orleans Times-Democrat writer
but when you come to think it over ]
suppose it is a natural SORT of thing
Some few years ago | had an opportu-
nifty to see a great deal Of this prejudice
while serving a term in a state legisla-
ture. 1t will crop out in all its pristine
glory in a legislative body. In bodies oil
this sort there is almost constant war
fare between delegates from the larger
cities and the delegates from rural sec
tions. On the face of things there is No
good reason for this feeling, but it exists
just the same, and l suppose it will con-
tinue to exist for some time to come.
There are a great many things which
might be said in explanation of this feel
ing. In the first place the man from the
country often believes the city chap has
all the best Of the game to begin with.
Time was when the difference between
the men of the cities and the men Of the
country was greater than 1t is now. 1t
is rot so marked now as it was at one
time, but 1t may still be noticed. Natu-
rally the man from the country comes to
look upon the city fellow as one whose
lot is cast along the ways of velvet. He
lives in the glare of new and rapid
things, gorgeous colors and al that, and
is supposed to be in a better position to
get a fuller enjoyment of the really good
things Of life. The city looms largely as
offering one everlasting round Of pleas
ure.
How fer this is wrong the men Of the
cities know. 1t is wide Of the mark.
Nevertheless II is one of the things
which the countryman considers when
he comes to deal with the city chap. He
feels, too, that the man from the city is
a trife shrewd, if not absolutely tricky.
So he keeps an eye on him, and if you
don't believe this go to the legislature
once, You will find there that the man
from the country will always 'Bistle up
when anything is proposed that he
doesn't quite understand. He is just a
BIT inclined to sniff danger from affair.
OF course, you will find exceptions to the
rule. But no man who has had any
considerable amount of experience will
| question the correctness Of what | aay
with respect t O the attitude of the coun-
tryman generally. p is a curious thing.
Ii they knew more the h~ardships and
disadvantages of tie city they would
ALLY pity the poorfap who lives in the
glare and gorgeous ttapuings of the city.
There is less of prejudice now than Of
se and we may hone at No distant time
10 see the feeling Tinimized 80 that 1t
will be inconsequepial"

PLAYED THE WRONG PERSON.
Small Trick of u Large Business Con-
Germ That Failed in Its
Intent.

'The biggest commercial houses are
not above doing small things-that is,
some of them are not" said a Girls
void street banker, to a Detroit Free
Press man. 81 was in New York the
other day, and just before leaving
stepped into one of the most famous
stores in that wonderful city to buy a
trinket for the little girl at home who
always expects something on my return
from a visit to the metropolis.
MY purchase was a light one, only a
dollar, for which l rendered a five dollar
bill. The change came to me in two
two-dollar bills, and my practiced eye
was a counterfeit.
"Suspecting a trick, l stepped over to
another counter and made another pur-
chase, amounting to a dollar, and ten
dered the bogus bill in payment. Sure
enough, it came back from the cashiers

it back to the cashier with the statement
that 1t had been received from his Office

came that such a thing was impossible,
preposterous, the house did not do such
things, etc.
Then | was mad. l asked if / might
see the cashier, and after considerable
ado | was admitted into the presence of
that august individual. Well, he made a
great show of indignation, said it was an
insult to their establishment to insin-
uate that they would be so low as to try
to palm off a pitiful two-dollar counter
felt bill on a customer.
But I was not to be bluffed. knew
the business pretty we'll, and feeling con-

think it did. He sputtered some, of
course, but l could see that he realized
he had tried to impose on the wrong
person, and after a feeble protest he
took the bad bill and gave me a good one
in exchange for 1t.

SCHOOL DAY MEMORIES.
Boys Are More Apt to Forget Punish
ments In Later Life Than
Girls Are.

Speaking CT the difference between
ateacherin the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat, lit is very interesting when you
come to mark it well, for it is a difference
which runs the course of lite with them.
Considering the immediate effects OF the
teachers efforts | should say that we are,
of the girls. But If we come tothe after
life of the pupil we would naturally turn
to the boy. He may nave been a bad fell
low in school. He may have given us a
whole lot of trouble, and maybe we had
to use the rod on him row and then.
Bat mark the difference: No mat
ter what our experiences may have been
with the boy, no matter how often or
how severely We chastised him, in his
maturer years he always has a warn
place in his heart for his old school
teacher. He remembers the pleasanter
side of his school life, and the calmer and
sweeter relationship of pupil and teach
er. How is ii with the girl? Well, it is
just the other way, and about as far the
other way as you can go. If she has ever
had any sort of trouble with her
teacher, that is the particular thing she
remembers. She remembers the ugly,
disagreeable things of her school days,
and If she is particularly mean, she will
never cease to hate her perceptor.
Now, why is this? Candidly. l cannot
tell you, unless you are generous enough
to accept a theory which has occurred to
me while musing over the rather inter
esting fact. | think the explanation Is
probably to be found in the difference
between the spheres in which they move.
Woman's life is cast along narrow lines.
Her sphere Is not as broad as mans.
Naturally, she lives more in the past.
Mans life broadens when he leaves the
schoolroom. Other things crowd in upon
him. There are other more pressing
worries than the recollection of the rod
with which he was punished at school.
or the partially for some other fellow,
or any. of the other things that vexed
the child soul for the while. So in turn
ing back to his school days he remem-
bers only those things which are pleas
! ant and which add somewhat of poetry
to the duller tines of maturity.
"You will understand, of course,
! that exception must be made to the rule.
/ have been speaking of types. There are
| good girls and bad girls, just as there are
| good boys and bad boys, but what | have
, said may be locked upon RS the average
! of my own experience in the schoolroom,
SO give you the conclusion for what it
is worth"

PANAMA NOW QUIET
Colombia Awaits Retayn OF
General Reyes, N
NAVAL AUTHORITIES KEEPING WATCH
Disturbed Condition of the Country
Is a Sufficient Reason For Any
Movement of the BogOta
Troops.

PANAMA, Jan. 2.-The situation on
this side Of the isthmus is quiet and
satisfactory to the naval authorities.
Reports from Darien do not give any
evidence of Colombian activity or the
presence of Colombians in Panama
nian territory. Darien miners who
rame here a fortnight ago have re-
turned there to resume work.
The thirty American marines and
b~luejackets who remain at Yaviza
have artillery and two armed launches
with which they are patrolling the riv-
ers. Panamanian soldiers continue
scouting from Yaviza through the Da-
rien district. The United States cruis-
err Boston is in San Miguel bay sup
porting the Yaviza outpost. The
Wyoming is INDUCING in target prac-
tice, and the Concord and Marblehcad
are both at Panama.
Persons best informed concerning the
military situation along the Darien
frontier do not expect any Colombian
aggression for the present. They are
Of the opinion that the situation is like
ly to remain as it is at present until
the canal treaty is approved by the
congress Of the United States or until
General Reyes returns from Washing
ton. This opinion prevails, notwith-
standing reports Of concentration OF
Colombian troops ut Barranquilla and
the fact that Colombia doubtless is
moving troops toward the Atrat0 river.
The disturbed internal conditions Of
Colombia are thought to give a suffi-
cient reason for these movements of
| Colombian troops, but the naval au-
| tborities are in nowise renting their
activity or preparedness.
President Zelaya of Nicaragua has
| cabled the junta saying that it gave
him pleasure to recognize Panama up
| ON New Years day. The recognition
by Nicaragua has caused much salts

CODES o. The KITCHEN.
Many of the Rules That Govern Cook
Are the 0utgrovvth of
Superstitions.

Take q goCd lump OF fresh butter ant
roll it in Hour, place it in a lined sauce
can with a ha.I pint Oh good, rich can
stir it gently over a low hre, always h
same way, till it begins 10 simmer
This recipe Ter the maning OF meltet
butter is quoted IRON all old-tashioneG
cookery book CT a century ago, but The
direction to stir always the same way
is observed as religiously to-day as ii
vas then, and probably will be for q
thousand years to come, says the Bos-
ton Journal. All cooks of all nations
stir not only the same way, but also
from cas- to west, a sure indication
that the practice originated with sun
w~orshipers.
Speaking OF stirring brings to mind
that in most misunderstanding ones,
at least-the practice of the whole fam
lily joining to stir the Christmas plum
pudding is still in vogue. There are
many peculiar old-fashioned supersti-
tons connected with cooking. For in
stance. in Scotland, when oat cakes We
being baked, it is still customary to
break off a little piece and throw it into
the fire. At one time, whenever a bak-
ing was made-which was, perhaps,
once a month only-a cake was made
with nine knobs on it. Each of the
company broke one off, and, throwing
it behind him, said: This | give to
thee; preserve thou my sheep" men
tioning the names of a noxious animal
--.ox, wolf or eagle.
A roast pheasant is usually sent UP
with the tail feathers. This practice is
a memorial of the days when a peacock
was skinned before roasting, and when
cooked was sewn in its plumage again.
its beak gilded and so served. Tossing
the pancake is another interesting fcoC
superstition. Formerly the master OF
the house was always called upon tc
toss the Shrove Tuesday pancake.
Usually he did it so clumsily that the
contents of the pan found their way to
the floor, when a fine was demanded
by the cook. The custom is still kept
up at Westminster school, where a pam
cake is tossed over the bar and scram-
bled for. The one who secures it is re-
warded with a guinea.
The origin of the cross on hot eros
buns is a matter of dispute. There is
little doubt that cakes partly divided
into four quarters were made long be-
fore the Christian era. At one time ii
was believed that bread baked on Good
Friday would never grow moldy. an6
a piece of it grated was kept in every
house, being supposed to be a sover
eign remedy for almost any kind OF
ailment to which man is subject. Ir
many parts of England it is considered
unlucky to offer a mince pie to a guest
1t must be asked for.

CONFESSED MURDE
Young Burglar COpfesses to Murder
During Robbery of store.

Young Burglar Copfesses to Murder
During Robbery of Store.
DENVER, Jan. 2.-Fred Arnold, eight
cen years old, has confessed to compile
ity in the murder of Mrs. Youngblood
and the probable fatal shooting OF her
son Robert while attempting to rob the
little grocery store kept by Mrs. Young
blood and her husband in Valverde, a
suburb of Denver. Arnold's confession
implicated Newton Andrews, aged
twenty, and Charles Peters, twenty
four years Of age, the former of whom
is said to haye fired the fatal shots.
Both are under arrest.
The young men drove to the Young
blood store and gained admission by
asking permission to use the telephone.
They tried to hold up the elder Young
blood; but, although sixty-four years OF
age, he resisted until stunned by a
blow on the head from a revolver. His
wife and son, who came to his rescue
were shot down, the former dying al
most instantly and the latter receiving
a probably fatal wound in the head.
He has a wife and four children.
Arnold has confessed that two mon
named Andrews and Newton and him
self were concerned in the crime. Ar
mold declared that the shooting was
done by Andrews. The prisoners are
young men formerly employed in the
cotton mills which were closed several
! weeks ago.
