Walter Besant used to tell OF clever
woman who had great reputation as a
conSersationalist though she talked
very little. She had such a cordial SYM
pathetic manner that she helped the
timid and the shy to say their best
things and made them feel at home. She
dissipated their fears. and they could
say things to her which they could not
say to any one else. People thought her
an interesting conversationalist because
she had this ability to call out the best
in Others.

you must be able to enter Into the life of
the people you are eonyersing with, and
You must touch them along the lines Of
their interest. No matter how much
you NAV know about subject. ii 1t does
not happen to interest those to whom
you are talking your efforts win be
largely lost.
Great conversationalists have always
been very tactful-interesting without
offending. It does not do to stab people
Ii you would interest them. nor to drag
out their family skeletons. Some people
have the peculiar quality of touching
the best that is in US; others stir up the
bad. Every time they come into our !
presence they irrtate US. Others allag
all that is disgreeable. They never touch
our sensitive spots, and they call out
all that is spontaneous and sweet and |
beautiful.

One day master and pupils went out

The great Nelson's sovereignty wal

that he was not aboard Nelson's ship

DEPOSITS EXCEED DEMANDS.

Ii any alarmist thought 70 nave M
vague premonitions verified at the Ast'
oria bank counters yesterday morning
he was badly bumped. There was not
even sign Of run anywhere in the
city.
The business Of the banks barely ex.
ceeded the normal volume of any frst
Monday in the month, and the sum Of
the days business was marked by q
distinct excess OF deposits over check
demands; which condition speaks for
itself uneqnivocally.
In one or tive instances there was
some disappointment when it was made
plain to those who were peculiarly anx-
ious to draw out the full balances lne
them that they could not get but q
rational per eentage Of their holdings;
and these were quite satisfied when the
situation was fully explained to them.
The day was utterly free from untcward
circumstances and closed with confirm
ative quietude and assurance through
out the city.
4 Cashier Gordon, OF the First National.
commenting on the status of Affairs,
yesterday. said that his house had
no more than the customary run Of bust
ness for the first Of the month; that
those who had visited the bank had
come. apparently, as well informed OF
the conditions and what might be ex-
peeted. as the bank officers themselves. |
and that there was an intelligent accept |
ance on all sides of the restrictions in |
force Mr.. Gordon also said he was in
hope that but few days would inter
tersene before even these could be done
away with.
Mr.. Higgins cashier OF the Astoria
National, was pleased to report that
''the deposits had materially exceeded
the demands OF that instution; and
that the day business had been charact-
erized by nothing worthy Of comment.
The people seemed to understand the
case clearly and SO far as the banks
clientele was concerned, were unanim-
ously disposed to make the best Of it
in every way"
Mr.. Patton, OF the Astoria Savings
bank said that the days affairs went
off without the slightest manifestation
of disquietude, though there were a
few signs of disappointment in cases
where the limitations. imposed by the
bank interferted with the plans Of some
client but these were passed up pleasant.
ly, upon due explanation being made;
and that the situation being thoroughly
understood there was nothing to appre-
hend. The business of the bank showed
no variation from that of any first-of.
the-mouth day, and was as good as usu.
al in all ways"
All of which goes to show that Astor-
ians are taking sensible view of the
case and are abiding the issue Of the
holidays" with equanimity and undis-
turbed faith in their banks and bankers
1t is such business-like adaptation as
this that makes for the good of a com
munity when the matter is treated as
an episode in history; and in the pre-
sent instance is proof positive OF the
Characteristic soundness of public opin-
ion and action here.
