pOsit With Conditions.
A mechanic, a man Of family, walk
ed into the State Exchange bank at
Macon, Mo-, the other day and asked
for private conference with the ex
ecutive head, says the Kansas City
Star. He was shown into the Office OF
Harry Rubey. the cashier.

That's al right" replied the cash
Ter. Just walk over to the counter
and leave your deposit with the man

But this has string tied to 1t,
said the customer mysteriously. "There
is a condition"
"Oh.'
"You must take 1t with the under
standing that all checks may issue
against 1t will be turned down"
Thinking the man booze fighter or
gambler, Mr. Ruhey gently suggest
ed that he didn't care to bother with
such commission. Then the man ex-
planned

Last night she said maybe we could

The usefulness Of urban libraries has

As matter Of fact, they are more

Count Boni Tries to Force
Wronged Families to Come
to His Aid
COMPLETE PUBLICITY
BY Making This Demand He Hopes to
Force the Prominent Families Whom
He Has Compromised to Come to His
Aid in Resainine His Hold on Gould
Millions.

Paris, Nov 12.-Paris held its breath
and experienced new thrill when IL
was reported that Count Boni de Cas-
tellane is insisting on publicity in the
divorce suit with the object of fright
ening twelve titled families to support
his cause 1t is declared that by their
money and influence he hopes to win
his case and regain his grasp on the
Gould millions.
The audacity of Count Boni in try
ing to force the wronged husbands and
the relatives of his frail friends to fight
his case for him has astounded even
effete and blase Partisan society.
This is the price the titled families
must pay If they would escape a dis
honor of having their names involved
in the scandal that reeks around the
little blond count.
Come to my aid or 1 will expose
all" is said to be the challenge Count
Boni has hurled at the heads of the
proudest aristocrats in France, and
naturally there is an extraordinary
furry and great dismay.
How much can he tell?' Paris asks,
and waits eagerly for the denouement.
AT the same time Count Boni threat
ems to expose secrets of the Gould fam
lily. but it is generally believed that this
is simply bluff"
u
Boulevardiers declare there will be
no duels, because the husbands of the
women whom Cruppi exposed, fear to
challenge Boni. since their own con-
duct, it is said, is no better than the
counts. The only person who could
challenge the count is Edmond Kelly,
who would scorn to meet Boni even in
a duel
Count Boni's position is critical.
Women are beginning to cut him, now
that he is penniless. Nevertheless, in
the fact of defeat and financial ruin
the count remains the dandy. He Is
as careful as ever about the slightest
details of dress. His neckties, waist
coats and gloves still are irreproach-
able.
The counts bitterest enemies admit
he is plucky in vain fashion. He has
but few stanch friends, for the club
men of the better sort have snubbed
him for years because of his foolish
ness.
Gould Enters the Fight.
1t is believed Lere that George Gould
will fight the case to the bitter end and
will spend thousands to keep Count
Boni from ever again squandering the
Gould millions.
George Gould has already forced GER
tain creditors to compromise their
claims for pictures and bric-a-brac by
threatening them with prosecution on
the charge of extortion.

Staining WoOo work.

If you are building a house dom

The natural grain in wood is too beau

staining have taken the place OF paint
Stain is a very thin paint and contains
no varnish. Many of the stains sold
in the stores are apt to contain var
nish. and they do not sink into the
wood enough to bring out the beauti-
full grain. Stain can be used with best
effect on new wood. Some Of the most
attractive living rooms have the wood
work stained forest green, old blue or
silver gray. Do not let the painter
convince you that the woodwork will
look better painted. Some Of the
woods that take stain well are oak,
cypress, Georgia pine and birch. In
some country houses the furniture is
ordered from the factory in an unfin-
ished condition and is then stained az

THE MASTER VICE.

A. Sseh IL Procrastination Described
by . Confessed Victim.
1.-The ban OF my existence" said the
pr0ci estimating man, has been my
habit of putting things off. never do
today what can put off till tomorrow.
THE result is that l am always put
ting things of and never doing any
more than is necessary for my current
daily hand to mouth support, and SO.
al the saying is, never have anything.
I am not independent, but always de-
pendent upon somebody else for the
work that will enable me to live, and
SO I can never say my soul is my own.
I must do the work I am set to do by
some stronger man, whether like it or
not, and so plod along, just getting
through, while the man who collars
things gets on.
"Of late years as have come to real
ize its evil effects and the enormous
difficulty of overcoming it I have come
to think that the master vice Of all is
procrastination. And coming to think
thus has disturbed me a little, because
/ have to give up an originally pre-
conceived and long cherished notion.
II had long held that the most near
" ineradicable of personal vices was
gambling, but now 1 thought the most
difficult of all vices to cure oneself OF
was that of procrastination. Was
wrong then: And could it be that
was wrong now?
This, as say, disturbed me a little.
but now on this point rest quite easy.
for I have discovered, contradictory as
~cf i0h that
/ was right then and that I am wrong
now.
For now I discover that the vice Of
gambling is but another phase Of, or
at least the outcrop Of. that of procras
tination. The great majority of those
given over to gambling hope to get
something for nothing; they hope to
get money without effort. They put
or from day to day the hard, unhinch-
ing work that would give them sure
thing. without chances, on the race OF
life and make just enough to indulge
their vice and their vain hopes.
80 gambling is really but a form or
outcome of the vice of procrastination.
And by the same line OF reasoning I
suppose we might say the same of
drunkenness, which is essentially
procrastinating vice. We put things
on today; today we will drink; we will
work tomorrow.
"And I don't know but what we
should find that every i'll proceeds from
the vice of procrastination. and SO this,
which might seem but form of lazi-
ness, is really the master vice. and l
am one of its most closely bound vic
tins. / don't drink aud I don't gam
bic, but / have got the fatal habit of
putting things off"-New York Sun.
