UNIQUE REVENGE.

With the tea, over the making OF
whiol there was much conversation
and ceremony. one of the ladies sug.

little shrieks of approval. Two OF

up their husbands. They did their

what they said could not be heard.
But when they came out their eyes
were sparkling with pleasure; and
when they recounted their experiences
to their companions, there were hys.

two others went to the telephone. and
finally the last two. No children over

Cries for Help Finally Heard by One
of Rescuers and He Is Taken

Pottsville, Pa.-Falling 400 feet
down an abandoned mine shaft, JOS
eph Schroeder of Pottsville was res
cued alive, after he had been virtual
ly buried all day and all hope of his
rescue abandoned. When examined
it was found Schroeder had not even
broken bone. 1t was the most eX-
t1aordinary escape known In the his
tory of anthracite mining.
Young Schroeder left town in com
psIly with William Kalbach, to shoot
pneasants. While pushing their way
through the brush toward the noun
tain top Schroeder took the lead. He
walked into a drift lighted a match,
and called to Kalbach to follow. Sud
denly he gave cry of surprise and
attempted to step back, but the
ground at the edge of hole gave way
with him. and he plunged feet first
down into an abyss.
Kalbach hurried forward and he,
too, almost plunged down the hole
after his companion. Had he done 50
the mystery of their disappearance
probably never would have been
solved.
Seeing he could be of no aid to his
unfortunate companion, Kalbach start
ed down the mountain for Middleport
on the run. and in short time a
dozen men accompanied him back
with long lengths of rope They went
as close as they possibly could in
safety and called down the shaft.
Nothing but the echo of their voices
greeted them. Then they tied a
weight to the end of rope and low

HUNDREDS OF BANKS TO EACH MAN.

There are rs bank examiners to examine
1866 national banks Last year these examiners
made total of 1.716 examinations Anybody
will see from these figures that an examiner does
not linger long over any bank.
What the examiner does is to look over the
securities, check up the amount of loans and dis
counts. what proportion they bear to the cap
ital and assets, and generally to make sure that
the books of the bank do not show anything con
trary to the national banking act. The examina-
tion is, in fact, more check the officers way
of doing business than precaution against actual
dishonesty.
National banks are not supposed to be ex.
amned oftener than twice year. And then all
that is necessary, in most cases. is that the rec
ords may appear all right. Among the assets
