Watchmaker's Screws.

is SO small that to the naked eye it
will not look like anything more than
q bit of dust. and IS probably the
smallest screw made 1t must neces-
sarily be perfect in every respect, and
the character of the workmanship re-
quired on it is illustrated by looking at
it under powerful micros ope, when
it is seen that tile threads average 260
to the inch. 1t is exactly 400 of an
inch in diameter and over $4,000 could
be packed into a baby's timble with
ease. Counting these screws is never
attempted, of course. but 100 are
weighed on delicate steelyard and
the total number of an output is ar
rived at by comparing the gross weight
with the weight of these. Such tiny
screws an only be made in large NUM-
bers by machinery. and the operation
attending their manufacture is the
most delicate thing in matchmaking.

a six foot negro imbued with all the
superstitions of his race.
The big staff had been hoisted to the
roof and was nearly in place when the
negro happened to glance down at the
crowd that had collected in the street
to view the work
The physician, desiring to see how
the work of setting up the pole was
progressing, had gone to the opposite
corner to see the work, when the negro
saw him. The crowd saw the darby
stop working and say something to his
employer. Then the negro left the
roof, and the work was postponed. The
negro had said:

Aunt Mary,
Banker
By james Cfeorv

Copyright, 1904, by X. M. Whitehead

When the First National bank of
Olivet was organized, capital $4,000,
Aunt Mary billiard became stock
holder to 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 thereabouts, and in due time
the bank opened for business When
the stockholders met to elect a board
of directors they figured on leaving
Aunt Mary out, though she was one
of the largest stockholders. She was
a 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,
Don't make any mistake about me-"

shall drop i'll here quite often to see
how things are going"
Aunt Mary was made a director 1t
was that or trouble. Then the five
directors elected a president, secre-
tary and cashier, and four of them
smiled paternally as the woman claim
ed the honor of making the first de
yposit. The president was newcomer
in the town, but he had money and
had been cashier of bank in Buffalo.
The secretary and cashier were old
residents.
The First National secured a large
business at once, and as time passed
on Aunt Mary dropped in occasionally
to keep posted. People who thought
notions or that her limit was selling
butter and eggs had to acknowledge
their mistake. She was quite up to
date on finance, and she knew a good
investment from doubtful one as well
as the president did.
Things were being managed in good
shape all around, and the bank was
looking ahead to fair dividends at the
end of the year, when Faul Hazard,
nephew to Aunt Mary and young
man of twenty-five, appeared on the
scene. That is, he appeared at Aunt
Mary's house, two miles out of town,
for visit of month or two. AS he
