A WONDERFUL LIANT.
MarveIs of the Mexican Mapuey, or
Century Plant.
From the World Today.

From the World Today.
One CT h most wonderful plants In
the world Is the Agaye Americana, or
maguey, of Mexico. In the United
States and Europe 1t is commonly called
the century plant" from a wholly err
roneous idea that 1t blooms only once
In a hundred years. 1t is native TO Mex
loo and grows to a vast size In rocky
or sandy soil. where nothing else -four
ishes. It's dark green, glossy, spiked
leaves often reach a height OF fifteen
or sixteen feet. 1t requires scarcely
any cultivation. On reaching maturity
the maguey throws up a slender stalk
from twenty to twenty-five feet high
and bearing at tho top a great mass
of white flowers. This splendid flower
growth Is the supreme effort of the
plant, which exhausts its strength and
thereafter withers and dies.
In Mexico, especially on the great
plains near the capital city, there are
enormous plantations of magueys, set
out in long rows that stretch away for
miles. ON these plantations the ma
gueys are not permitted to flower, but
Just as soon as a plant reaches the per-
iod Of efiorescence and Is about to
reach its highest development 1t is
marked by the overseer with a cross
The maguey is now full OF the juice
that have been stored up during years
of growth. An incision Is made at the
base Of the plant and a basin is hol-
lowed out of its heart. In a few days
the basin Is filled with the sap intend
ed to nourish the flowers. The a is
almost as clear as water and as sweet
as honey. 1t is named aqua miel, or
honey water. A maguey yields almost
six quarts Of aqua mfel a day for
nearly a month. 1t is then exhausted.
It's leaves begin to wither and turn
brown and the plant dies. The juice
is converted into pulque, the national
drink Of Mexico. A large maguey
plantation is an extremely profitable
piece of property, the returns on the
Invested capital being sometimes as
high as 100 per cent. in a year.
Maguey leaves are used for matching
the rude huts in which many Of the
poems live; when withered and dried
they are burned as fuel. The spike at
the top OF a maguey leaf, with the fla
ment attached to 1t, makes an excellent
needle and thread. The fiber Is woven
into ropes and mating. Indeed. the
maguey is as serviceable to the poor
Mexican as the bamboo to the Japa-
nese or the %cocoanut to the South Sea

John Mitchell, president OF the United
Mine Workers, talked In Indianapolis
about the various methods in use at
the mines for Weighing coal. OF one
method, a method of the past, he said:
This method was long & aband-

And he put the bacon on one side OF

wrapped the bacon up.

"'Ah,' she said, in n relieved voice,

But the mar wisely refrained from
putting the bacon on the scales to be
tested. He put OF his fist again in

CLIPPING s50,oOo,ooo OF COUPONS

don't clip at all. What they really dc
is to tear the coupon off.
That is q good deal quicker than clip
ping with scissors, but it wouldn't be
advisable for the green horn b~ondholder
TO try that method, especially If he's In
a hurry and has a big pile of securities
TO go through. There is q knack in do
ing the Job fast.
1t Is remarkable how quickly an ex
pert worker will &c through a half mil
lion dollar pile OF bonds. The coupon
is torn along both sides with n mo-
ton, and while II is being dropped into
the coupon box with one hand the ruler
or bond square, as IL rs called, with
the help Of which the clipper works, is
being laid over another bond with the
other hand. 1t is estimated that an ex-
pert clipper Will go through about $780,
900 OF bonds in an hour. That would
be about 500 bonds ordinarily.
As soon as the clipper has waded
through the pile assigned him he ar
ranges the coupons in front of him in
little stacks and checks them back care
fully. Then they are handed to some
body higher UP, possibly the cashier,
who in tur goes through another
checking process to verify the returns.
Then the coupons are placed in a
tray in the center Of the table. This
tray is about min inches square and
three inches deep.
When the whistle blow for the day
that is, when $4,000, 900 or "a, 200, 900 of
bonds have been clipped, the harvest In
the tray on the center of the table is
stored away in the vault.
william p. Sands, the dean of the
coupon clipping force, has been with
the Mutual Life for forty-four years
and has cut coupons ever since the
company has owned bonds on which
the interest was paid In coupon form.
Even when the regular harvest seasons
aren't on Cashier sands finds a little
picking to do on bonds falling due on
odd dates.
He wouldn't have to stretch the truth
to say that his business consisted large
ly in clipping coupons and getting the
money on them. In the last ten years
1t is estimated that he has clipped more
than $40, 600, goo worth.
1t doesn't do. though, to crack any
jokes about the proverbial coupon clip
ping man when the Mutual force is
around. They don't see the funny sid
of 1t. This business of coupoa clipping
is no laughing matter for them.
They say it's just about the hardest
work they have to do in the year. There
is a lot OF worry and responsibility at
tached to It and they'll resign the
coupon clipping job any time for hard
grinding work at a desk.
Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1906-07-13

1t is estimated that at least $50, 0O0, DOC
will change hands IN the big hnancla!
institutions in this city on July
through the payment of interest on
bonds. Most of the bond coupons fall
due on that date or on January !.
To the ordinary man, who, III me-
lucky, may have one or two bonds 70
clip on July l, 1t is almost ~inconceiv-
able what an amount of labor is IN
volved in the collection OF coupon IN
terest by big institutions II the
Equitable, the Mutual or the New YORK
Life Insurance company, each or winch
counts its bond investments almost py
the hundred millions.
In the Mutual Life, for instance, six
men are kept busy for two weeks prior
to July / getting the bond coupons
ready to be cashed. Two hours a day
for the entire two weeks are spent by
the force doing nothing but clipping the
d from the bonds, n n man
in the Mutual, Cashier William +
Sands, has spent a large part OF his
business life cutting coupons.
The coupon cutting force or the Mu-
tual is working now under full head OF
steam. 1t will have to handle between
now and July / bonds of a total face
value of $50. 900, 600. From these 1t will
have to pluck the coupons. Each pluck
on the average will represent about
s22.5o 70, and all Of them something like
81. zoo. 900.
The coupon clipping force carries on
it's work in the anteroom of the big
steel vault, where is stored a large part
of the Mutual's assets. 1t is on the
second floor.
The anteroom, as we'll as the vault, is
enclosed by a heavy steel grating. In
this grating is a door, made or steel
bars and fitted with powerful locks. AT
that door is stationed at all times, night
and day. a uniformed guard.
Only properly accredited officials of
the company are allowed In the ante
room under ordinary circumstances
When the bond clipping harvest begins
five trusted employees In charge of
Cashier Sands are admitted.
A long table covered with heavy
green felt is in the room, and around
that the five employees take their places.
The heavy steel door of the anteroom
IS locked, and two uniformed guards
are stationed inside the grating. The
table is hidden from the main corridor
by a screen.
Before any of the bonds can be taken
from the vault, or rather before the
vault itself can be opened. at least three
persons must be present. No M per-
son Is permitted to know the combina-
ton to the outer and inner doors of the
vault. Besides, when the vault is
opened by the treasurer and his assist
ants the president, vice president,
financial manager. comptroller or sec
rotary must be present.
This vault Is said to be absolutely
burglar and fire proof. 1t is more than
thirteen feet In length. twentv-one feet
wide and ten feet high. 1t weighs 100
tons. It's steel door is a foot thick aid
weighs between zen and fifteen tons.
In the vault the bonds are stored I'm
metallic boxes about four inches deep,
fourteen inches wide and twenty-five
inches lone. zach box contains about
$500. 600 la bonds.
The clipping vi the coupons requires
great accuracy. The men are called
clippers, but as a matter Of fact they
