farm and in machine shop. He got
together enough money to pay for a
years course in the University of ILL
nois, On it's completion he went back
to the machine shop and while at work
there practiced short hand. He was
on the Chicago Tribune and afterward
associate editor of the Chicago Econo-
mist When Lyman J. Gage became
secretary of the treasury he invited
Mr. Vanderlip to be his private secre-
tary and later promoted him to be as
sistant secretary. From this position
Mr. Vanderlip retired in 1901 and has
since been engaged in banking.
In 1898 the banker Of today was with
the Chicago Tribune, and the panic
times had begun. Banks We're failing
every day. Joseph Medill. the editor of
the Tribune, was in southern Califor-
MIA. He was much exercised over the
situation and was in close touch with
the office, constantly advising conserv-
atism and optimism in the newspaper
reports.
Vanderlip by close economy and
some minor investments had saved
$500. 1t was all he had. One day the
bank failed in which he had deposited
his little nest egg. He went despond-
emily to his desk. The world looked
black to him. 1t was hard blow.

observance of the tardy growth of

observance of the tardy growth of
grass in Hanks well cropped pasture.
Hank lacked the ability to convert
his peculiar mental talents into some
thing of commercial value. 1t can
perhaps be best illustrated by his
method Of woodchuck hunting. Hank
was the possessor Of gun that had a
recoil like mountain howitzer. He
was particularly friendly toward it,
for he said there was sort of sympa-
thetic bond between them. 1--WE both
kick when we have to work." as he ex-
pressed it.
When the woodchuck fever was on
he would shoulder the gun and start
out. Sometimes he was successful and
sometimes otherwise. When he brought
one home he would skin it and tack
the skin on the door of the barn. Then.
when some admiring youngster would
come along, Hank would give him the
skin he had SO carefully tanned to
show him where there was another
woodchuck. Some one asked Hank
how he ever expected to make any
thing out of this kind of a deal.
"Well,'' replied Hank, ''some time I'll
find hole with two in it."
The proprietor of the hotel at the
Corners had advertised turkey rattle
the day before Thanksgiving. Hank
went, took few chances, but was not
successful. He spent what money he
had, and it occurred to him on the way
home that it was going to be pretty
dull Thanksgiving without turkey
Just about this time the cratic sages

When every one else was planting po-

Bill Gleason, with a boldness that he
might have known would have stirred
the very dregs Of Hanks mental cup of
reason, asked him why he didn't turn
up little ground and put in few
hills Of potatoes, Hank tapped the bowl
OF his pipe and replied:
''What's the use? If it's q good year
for potatoes most anybody will give
me enough to carry me through the Win
ter; if It's bad year, why, they won't
nobody have any" This closed the po-
tato incident
Hank was the possessor Of an old
Hanks pasture. Jennie knows every
blade of grass in that pasture" said he,

will be long enough to eat again"
Squire Whipple had fine piece of
grass growing next above Hanks
place. About dusk every evening the
philosopher would slowly saunter
down the road and inquire after the
squire He would spend few min
utes hanging over the fence and notice
il the squire was preparing for bed,
talk a few minutes and then 60 back
home. Jennie when it grew darker,
would be led into the squires meadow
for her evening meal. Of course it
wasn't long before the squire noticed
that his meadow was fast becoming
bald i'll spots and suspected Hank and
Jennie, Hank from his lack of good
pasture and Jennie from her unusual
rOtundity of person.
Becoming aware of the squire's sus-
gcions, Hank devoted part of one
evening to taking down part of the
squire's fence and turning Fan, the
squire's own horse, into the meadow.
Next morning the squire was out early
mending fence.

AFFIyING THE GREAT SEAL TO PASS
PORT.
Thomas Jefferson committee to pre-
pare device for a great seal of the
United States of America" These
statesmen conferred six weeks on the
matter, and each submitted design.
Jefferson prepared a conjoint design
embodying the best features of all
three, and this was submitted to con-
gress in an elaborate report, but it was
not acted upon definitely, and the mat
ter went along for several years. 1t
was not until June 20, 1882, that a
great seal was finally adopted by con-
gress. The committee which prepared
it was composed of Henry Middleton
of South Carolina, Elias Boudinot Of
New Jersey and Edward Rutledge Of
South Carolina. The design was the
work of Will Barton of Philadelphia,
brother of the patriotic DR.. Benjamin
Barton. The seal was first used on Sept
is, 1882, on a commission granting au-
thority to General Washington to ar
range with the British for exchange of
prisoners of war. 1t has been re-en-
graved several times.

Bonaparte Says His Conscience Would
Prick Him.


BALTIMORE, July 27.-Secretary
of the Navy Charles j. Bonaparte has
made a statement in reference to his
refusal to accept railroad transporta-
ton while occupying a public Office.
Mr.. Bonaparte refused to criticise
those who do accept such transporta-
ton, laughingly saying that that was
a matter of individual views For
himself, however, he was positive that
he could not in conscience accept of
passes from railroads and occupy his
present position.
MY declining to avail myself of the
free passes sent me was not intended
in any wise as a reflection either on
the railroads whose officers rendered
me this courtesy, or on the other pub
lie officials whose opinion on this SUBJ
ject may differ from mine,' he said.
Il recognize fully that many highly
estimable and altogether upright men
in public life can see no objection to
the acceptance of free passes. I think
otherwise, and without criticising

DISBARMENT OF T.. D. PAGE WILL
NOT BE CONSIDERED BY
SUPREME COURT.
Attorney General Atkinson Has Been
Called on to Make an Investi-
cation Of Charges.

The supreme court will not take up
the matter of the charges against T.
Frank Pasquale, that were made in the
application for communication of SEN
tence, although the matter was called
to the attention of Chief Justice Mount
by Governor Mead in a letter written
yesterday.
The statements in the papers sub
mitted to the governor contained the
assertion that $4OO had been paid to
Page by Pasquale's brother for SER
vices in prosecuting the appeal, and
that other than eXpending $3.50 in pre-
pairing the transcript Page had neg
lected the interests of his client re-
shifting in the dismissal of the appeal
in the supreme court for lack of pros
ecution.
Tn a case heretofore decided, the su-
preme court has held that it would not
take jurisdiction of actions in disbar-
ment of an attorney unless upon ap-
peal from a lower court. In view of
this decision Chief Justice Mount has
decided that it is not within the prov
ince of the supreme court to take up
the matter.
A similar letter was written 10 the
attorney general by Governor Mead,
but Attorney General Atkinson is out
