Why Men Don't Dance.

From the Gentlewoman.
1t Is difficult to find reason for the Ian
guor OF the young men OF the day, who
see no shame in admitting that they don't
dance. There is but one explanation for
their conduct
This may be found in the fact that the
partners of the twentieth century have
grown apace. while the male community
has, with some exceptions. almost ceased to
reach the middle size. To small man of,
say, Napoleonic stature. the ordeal of tack
ling tulle bundle of some five feet ten
in height is somewhat terrifying.

Liabilities.

Peoria, Ills, April 1.-The bank of
Teis Smith & Co. at Pekin. TazweIl
county, failed 70 open for business to-
day, having assigned to L. ]. Albert
sen, as trustee.
Trustee Albertsen issued a state
ment today I'm which he urged the
creditors of the bank to avoid use
less litigation, as it would only pro-
long a settlement of the banks affairs
No official statement of assets and
liabilities has yet been made. The LA
bilities, due to depOsitOrs, and other
banks are said to be in excess of $500. -
900, against which there are assets Of
bout S29O,OOO, a portion of which is
worthless. The failure is due to large
sums Of money advanced to the Smith
Wagon works and the Smith PIow
shops at Pekin, two large industries.
These had been carried TO such an
extent that the bank could no longer
continue in business. Neither has yet
been affected by the failure. The bank
was founded by Teis Smith IN 1866 and
had continued since as a private bank
with D. G. Smith as president and
