HIS "DOVBLE' AND triple"

her beauty, and longing for second
look l hurried through AID street,

up to SD street and walked quietly
down 9th avenue for the second time.

course, everybody was looking at her,
but, engaged in lively conversation
with a gentleman, she seemed as un-
conscious of the admiring glances as
OF her own beauty. Assured that she
never noticed poor me, could not re-
sist the temptation of trying for a
third look. l fastened around the ca

not help being aware that several per-
sons stared at me with the same
startled look. and there was singu-
lar something in the looks that made
me feel as If were ghost walking
the streets.
At 57th street I met an old gentle
man with his wife whom remem-
bered to have seen hobbling along

excitedly: Great God, Mary, we
have seen that mans double, and here
comes his triple!"
1t dawned upon me that it is rather
an extraordinary thing to meet the
same man three times in fourteen
blocks walking along in the same d.

l quietly disappeared, with my "dou-
ble' and cripple" and a quadruple
sense of my foolishness, in the next

Gen. De Negrier, at one time COM
mander-in-chief of the French army
and high authority on military mat
tiers, has been studying the history of
the Russo-Japanese war and has pub
lished in leading review an article
in which his conclusions are en-
bodied. They deserve the attention
of those who are interested in the
subject to which they relate. In Gen.
De Negrier's opinion the great mis-

One Use for Waterbury Watch.

John Wesley Gaines, who has been
called "the inventor of perpetual mo-
ton in conversation" went to Con-
necticut some time ago to deliver a
speech. He made a hit with the cit
liens of the nutmeg state and they
presented a Waterbury watch to him.
Mr. Gaines was talking about it and
wondering why they gave him a
Waterbury instead of gold watch.
"They had read about your habits,
Gaines" said a republican friend,

that you would be kept so busy wind
ing it up you would not have time to

Earl Cadogan Is Known as
Best Landlord i'm London

Is It worth s250000 to be known
as the best landlord in London?
Lord Cadogan's right to that deslg.
nation is not likely to be questioned
after this, but most people will agree
that the above named sum is a big
one to have paid for it.
AS a matter OF fact, his lordship-
who recently was Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland-has always been known as
one of the "squarest" as we'll as one
Of the richest London landowners.
He is one of the four or five men,
including the Dukes OF Bedford and

he has made point OF favoring his
tenants as perhaps no other proprie.

That he has deprived himself Of
$250,000 rather than embarrass them

ago, however, when it was divulged

BANKS OF CANADA GAIN;
PEOPLES SAVINGS BIG.
Record of Financial institutions for
the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.

Record of Financial institutions for
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Canada, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one Of
the most satisfactory and progressive
with the financial institutions of Can
ada, and the business of the charter
ed banks reflects the unprecedented
prosperity enjoyed throughout the
country during the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks of the Dominion by the CON-
mercial and agricultural expansion of
the year were provided for without
the monetary disturbances sometimes
noted in the United States. Whatever
opinions may be held as to the COM
position of the Canadian banking sys-
TEN, it is claimed that Its flexible
currency has many commendable
features, and without which the last
few months of the year must have pro-
duced money stringency with prob
ably disastrous results. 1t is felt that
a wider field Of credit in the Dominion
is needed, and consequently the capt.
tai of many existing banking institu-
lions has been increased and several
new banks are in progress of organiza-
ton.
The chartered banks of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence of the gen.
eral public to greater extent than
ever before. The total deposits of the
people in these institutions last year
were $522,317,OO0, which shows an in
crease of over $50 100000 for the year.
In actual money in bank probably no
other country in the world, compare
lively speaking, can make a better
showing than Canada.
The total deposits of the Canadian
people in the Government savings
banks, in special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of 5000 ,454,000. This represents
an average credit balance Of over
800 per head of the population of the
Dominion, and it is stated that the
only other country in the world that
approaches this record Is Denmark,
where the average credit balance Is
about $96.50 per capita. The above
figures, however, do not comprehend
moneys deposited with private bank
ers, loan companies. mortgage cor
porations and trust companies, or
what is boarded up in secret hiding
places.
The annual report of the Dominion
finance department, which has just
been issued to the public, shows a
surplus in the Dominion treasury for
the fiscal year of S7,S63, 900, and refers
to the remarkable increase in the pub
lie revenues during the year.

Twaln's Felicitous Introduction.

Mark Twain on one occasion intro
duced Senator Hawley of Connecticut
20 a political gathering in New York
state. Mr.. Clemens told the audience
that they could bank on the senator's
honesty, for although his back yard
at Hartford adjoined that of Gen.
Hawley he had never lost a single
chicken and although he had closely
watched the general as he passed the
plate in the Asylum Hill Congrega-
tional church he had never seen him
take one cent out of the plate. In
closing he said: Now, my friends,

ley, but | assure you not one word
