one point 1t wasn't policy for him to
antagonize one Of the largest stock
holders I'm the bank, and he tried his
best TO smooth over things and send
Aunt Mary away In a friendly spirit.
We'll, I've seen him." she remarked
on returning home. IF lac has his way
about things you'll never marry Kit
tie"
Paul groaned.
But he won't have his way" she
continued. con the contrary, I'll have
mine. You and Kittie be patient for a
few weeks and there'll either be n mar
riage or your Aunt Mary Will admit
that she doesn't know rabbits from
wocdchucks."
The shares OF the First National were
valued at $11O, with none for sale. All
men will sell. however. at price. That
very day Aunt Mary began hunting up
the small stockholders, buying stock
and pledging them to secrecy. She paid
fifteen, twenty and twenty-five bonus,
but she got what she was after. In n
month she had controlling interest,
and the stock was duly transferred on
the books. There was considerable spec
ulation as TO what was up, but no one
surmised the truth until the first annu-
al meeting came around. Aunt Mary
was present, and ii was noticed that
her Jaw was set.
I'VE will now vote to elect board OF
directors" softly announced the secre-
tary when the meeting had been called
10 order.
Aunt Mary had ticket of her own TO
vote, and she speedily voted the old
board out. In answer to their looks OF
CONSERVATION she said:
This afternoon the directors will
elect officers. l shall be president and
my nephew cashier"
But, my dear Mrs. Hfllard''- began
Mr.. Leslie.
Il am within my legal rights, sir"
she interrupted. 81 have never run n
bank yet, but think l can do so. That
is, shall do SO unless
The pause was dramatic. All had a
suspicion OF what was wrong, and Mr..
Leslie knew that he was in trap.
UNLESS whatr' he finally asked, with
rather pale face.
Unless my nephew should get mar
ried soon. In that case he would not
want TO act as cashier. Did any one
move to ADJOURN
No one had. In fact, no one wanted
to adjourn until things had been set
tied
II think your nephew had better get
married." observed Mr.. Leslie as he
stared into vacancy.

81 think Kittie will be ready within n
month"
''Well, if that's your opinion, I'm
quite agreeable. Would 1t be against
the law to hold new election for d.
rectorsT'
You seem to be the law yourself"
Then I'll call a new meeting and
cast my votes for the old board, and
as director l vote TO reflect the old
executive board. / have a little more
stock than / want, and If any of you

came from a good family and had lust
finished at the university and was
about to study for the law the harsh
est critic could have found little fault
with him in that regard. Aunt Mary
let 1T be known that he was the apple
OF her eye and her heir as well.
1t wasn't the fact that Paul came to
visit his aunt that shook the First
National to Its foundations later, but
that he promptly met and fell iii love
with Kittie Leslie daughter of the
banks president. 1t so happened that
his own aunt made the introduction in
the directors room of the bank, intro
ducing him TO the father at the same
time, and so the young man found
himself properly vouched for. Mr.. Les
lie appeared to look upon him with
favor, and Kittie was well liked by
Aunt Mary, and thus the love match
started off well. In month there was
an understanding between the two.
Trees. shrubs and burdocks grow fast
er I'm n country town than in a big
city, ard perhaps love does the same.
Gossip had it that 1t was all settled
between Paul and Kittie when the
girls father stepped in to unsettle
things. He had no objections to Paul
on general principles, but he had other
views regarding Kittie. In fact, he
was planning certain combination OF
love and finance He had his eyes and
ears open. and when he thought the
Irritation had gone far enough he put
his parental foot down. He had talk
with Paul He was very nice about
1t, but also very firm.
$50 Mr.. Leslie thinks you are not
good enough for his daughter, ehT
Aunt Mary queried when the news had
been broken. 'Well, this is not strict
ly banking business, but / shall drop in
tomorrow and have a few words with
him. Seems to me his head is getting
too big for his hat"
Aunt Mary dropped in and had a
talk. Mr. Leslie was suave, but he
didn't want Paul Hazard for a sOn-in-
law. He said all sorts OF good things

Aunt Mary billiard became stock
holder 10 the amount OF $4,000. She
was wealthy widow. past middle
age. and could have furnished the full
amount had she so desired.
The balance of the stock was taken
by the business men OF Olivet and
farmers thoreabouts, and I'm due time
the bank opened for business. When
the stockholders met to elect n board
OF directors they figured on leaving
Aunt Mary out. though she was one
OF the largest stockholders. She was
woman. they said. and she knew lit
tie about business, and she should be
well content to draw her dividends and
leave the active management to men.

Aunt Mary was made n director. 1t

directors elected president. secre-
tary and cashier. and four of them

post The president was a newcomer

The First National secured n large

TO keep posted. People who thought
she was old fashioned i'm her business

their mistake. She was quite up to

Investment from n doubtful one as well

COMMON EMMER. SINGLE EMMRR
TO them that DR.. c. f.. Saunders OF the
central experiment farm has lately
made report on this subject. Among
other items il is noted that. although
closely related TO true wheat, both
spelt and emmer are. I'm d commercial
sense. quite distinct from II and should
be compared rather with oats and bar
ley.
1t is thought undoubtedly possible TO
make flour from emmer and spelt. but
extremely improbable that this Will
ever be- done in America. Meanwhile
these grains are being used Cor the
feeding OF cattle. etc. and IL IL for such
purposes that they deserve considera-
ton.
The most striking characteristic OF
spelt and emmer stated by Or. Saun-
ders as distinguishing them at once
from all the true wheats is the fact
that the chaff adheres To the grain
after 1t has passed through an ordinary
thrashing process The grain itself is
usually long. OF rather large size and
very hard. resembling the macaroni
wheats rather than the ordinary
wheats. The straw o: the emmers IL
usually rather short and thin and
sometimes is not sufficiently strong TO
prevent lodging OF the grain In spelt
the straw Is coarser.
The heads OF emmer are essentially
short, compact and Hat. the spikelets
being set very close together. while
the heads OF spelt are long and open.
the spikelets being set far apart. All the
emmers are bearded. but some OF the
spells are beardless. Spclt Is generally
or coarser type than emmer, and the
proportion OF husk present in the
thrashed grain is usually larger.
Roughly speaking. one may say that
emmer weighs from thirty to thirty
eight pounds and spelt from twenty
two To thirty pounds per measured
bushel.
Both emmer and spelt have been
found. so far as tested ut the expert

There has been OF late some interest

OF emmer and spelt. and the compare
lively light wheat crop of the past sea

greater desire TO know more Of these
grains. Canadian farmers indeed are

TIGERS OF CHINA.
The Ease With which One Will Carry
Off Dead Pig.

Annoy is an island city on the China
coast, near Formosa. There are noun
tains west Of Annoy, and, according to
a correspondent, there are tigers in
them. These tigers lead an easy and
independent life in the caves and dens
which abound They come out of these
every evening just as the shadows
creep over the land and the blue mists
rise from the lower ground and hide the
hills. Then the inhabitants get within
their houses and keep the door between
them and these savage brutes. Many
a poor woman coming with water from
the we'll or farmer delayed too long
in the fields has fallen victim to them
The nights are spent by the tigers in
foraging, and the foxes and wildcats
that roam the hills and the dogs in the
village become their prey
There is nothing, however, that
gives the tigers such supreme delight
as the capture of good sized pig
They are truly Chinese in their tastes
In this respect. One Of these animals
will go at a steady trot with a dead pig
thrown over it's back up the sides OF
steep hills, jumping over huge bowl
derS and taking cross cuts over the
most inaccessible ground. The physic-
al strength of tiger is something
enormous, and its capacity for devOur-
ing large quantities of food is scarcely
less amazing"

which the syce produces from a hat
box carried under the seat, and goes in
to pay his call. Another instance of the
British worship of the tall hat which
the natives consider an interesting
form of piety, is to be seen at the Cal
cutta races on the day of the Viceroys
cup. On that occasion the lawns and
paddock are thronged by people as
Smartly dressed as can be seen in the
royal Enclosure at Ascot. ut:during the
early hours of the afternoon all the
men wear helmets. Directly the sun
