"Vcrndon & Small. Bankers" was
the sign over the oliCa. nj what was
considered the stamchet bank in the
western part of the state. the same
being situated at Rockville. The bank
had been IN existence for thirty years.
had weathered all pan!cs, and depos-
ltors believed II to be rs sound as the
government treasury itself.
For quarter of century the bank
was conservative, contining itself to
safe investments and taking no risks.
Then Small died, and his son William
succeeded him. William was thirty
years old and had made money In
speculation. Verndon had come to be
considerably over fifty and was influ-
enced by the younger partner to take
such risks as he never before had
Thought Of. Inside of two years the
bank was practically bankrupt. Dur
ing the last year there was not a week
when it was safe from complete wreck.
1t did business only on its record
When the partners came to realize
that any day might precipitate the
crisis each began to prepare for it. In
these preparations they did not take
each other into confidence. In fact,
they did their best to deceive one an
other.
A man from Chicago who was talk
ing little trip over the country for the
benefit of his health stopped at Pools
vile and the bank one day to get some
money changed. He looked about him
and saw that couple of cnterprlsing
burglars would have little trouble in
making haul. He hung around for
day, making few notes, and then
went back to Chicago for his tools of
trade and his friend Mike.

posting with old time confidence, and

that night the vault contained upward
Of $25, COO This was no great sum, but
1t would assist couple of poor and en-
terprising burglars to pay their way to
New York and hang around for awhile
In search of further employment.
The gentlemen Of the Jimmy We're
getting ready to begin work when a
footstep was heard outside, instantly
followed by the rattle Of key In the
door. Enter Mr.. Verndon, who had
shut the door behind him and was
about to strike match when he was
seized from either side, flung down,
tied and gagged before he knew where
he was.
He was only well disposed of when
there came other footsteps and sec.
ond key ratified. The burglars sta
toned themselves as before, and they
had equally good luck IN tripping up
young Mr.. Small. He was propped up
against the wall beside his partner,
and burglar No. lighted cigar and
| said to burglar No. 2:
Light up. Mike, and have a smoke.
No telling how many more fellers are
due, and we must be ready to accom-
modate ALL"
A quarter of an hour passed away,
and they had almost finished their
cigars when the third and last caller
appeared. He objected to being knock
ed down and tied and gagged, but the
Chicago burglar is ever obstinate in
carrying his point. When he was
placed against the wall the official staff
Of the bank was present-Mr. Verndon,
Mr.. Small and Mr.. White, the latter
being the cashier. OF course the cash

LEGENDARY DEVICES.
How Strange Animals Appeared In
HeraIdry In Old Days.

Early writer's on natural history sub
jects make mention Of many strange
creatures that never could have exist
ed save in the superstitious mind Of
the age in which they wrote, and OF
the many that did exist the accounts
of their structure and habits are so
ludicrous that one may really wonder
IL it was possible, even in the middle
ages, that people could be SO credulous.
Many OF these strangely garbied rec
ords of the animal world were, no
doubt due to travellers tales and prob
ably had a certain foundation in fact,
but 1t Is difficult indeed to account for
the creation of such things as the phoe-
nix, the cockatrice, the wyvem, the
griffin and the dragon. The belief in
the existence of the unicorn may have
originated from the fact Of some Of the
early African travellers meeting with
certain antelopes that had lost horn
for 1t Is a popularity with most ante
lopes that their horns are never shed
and II injured or broken never grow
again.
head, betwixt the eyelids, is neither
light nor hollow nor yet smooth like
other horns, but hard as iron, rough as
any file, revolved into many plights;
sharper than any dart, straight and
not crooked and everywhere black, ex-
cept at the point.
Bartholomew asserted that there
al Of tntn nd
this would be feasible If this creature
had been created from those horned
beasts that had accidentally lost one
of the horns.
How the phoenix was called into be-
ing it would be impossible to hazard q
guess. 1t was popularity supposed that
there was only one such creature exist
ing in the whole universe and that
there was only one tree in which 1t
built its nest We find mention of tho
phoenix as far back as Pliny, who
says, "Howbeit, cannot tell what to
make Of him; and first Of all, whether
1t be a tale or no, that is never but one
Of them In the whole world, and the
same not commonly seen"
III lue VIC lhu phi
tholomew writing of this imaginary
bird:
"Phoenix is a large bird, and there Is
but one that kind In all the wide world,
therefore lewd men wonder thereof.
Phoenix is u bird without make (mate)
and liveth 800 or 800 years. When
the which years he passed she feeletb
her default and feebleness and maketb
nest of sweet smelling sticks that be
full dry, and in summer when the
western wind bloweth the sticks and
the nest be set on fire with burning
heat of the sun and burneth strongly"
The bird then allows itself to be re
duced to ashes in this flre-on this
point all the writer's agree-and in due
course rises again from the ashes In
the full glory of renewed youth "and is
the most fairest bird that Is. most like
to the peacock in feathers, and loveth
wilderness and gathereth his meat of
| clean greens and fruits"
The basllisk, or cockatrice, was re
puted to be some strange mixture Of u
bird and serpent abe to sly with his
breath and his sight, which power was
accredited by some to dragons-West

speaks very entertainingly regarding
the trip, and said that the committee
had had a very pleasant as well as

I'VE visited San Juan, Porto Rico,
and examined the harbOr there, and
then went to Cuelabra island where a
survey has been provided for In the
river and harbor bill, and where
must say That l was not very favor
ably impressed with this point for a
naval station. 1t will require an i'm
mense expenditure of money to fOrti-
fy and protect the station should it
be established, and think If a naval
station should be desired in this part
of the country, 1t seems to me it
would be better to place it at San
Juan. We visited st. Thomas Island
and then returned to San Juan where

S. Uhlman, New York hop buyer,
who was here this week, painted a
very dark picture of the market con-

the price of hops. He has been tour
ing the coast and making investiga-
tions, talking occasionally from the
point OF bear in the market situa-
ton. He advised some of the Yak
ina growers who are holding their
last years crop that they had better
sell at the present market price, for
he very much feared the quotations
would be lower While there is no
surplus and he admitted shortage,
ne said the brewers had things IN
such shape that they could go
through the season with the hops
they had on hand and thereby in not
creating demand cause a sluggish
market and low price.
