AN OLD WITcH'S CURSE.

The recent death or Captain Ernest Rhodes. a brother of the late Cecil Rhodes. recalls a strange story told by Colonel Frank Rhodes. says rid Bits. A few years ago Cecil Rhodes turned a Matabele witch off his estate in South Africa in consequence of some offense. and the old hag. with hatred burning in her eyes. shrieked out: ''Thy days on earth shall be short. and two of these who follow thee" Curi- osuly enough. five years have seen three of the Rhodes family die short ly after taking possession of the Dal- ham estate. Cecil Rhodes paid s500.- 900 for the property. and only visited the hall once.

 Of thanks Their voices blended very

 speaker was letter perfect in her lines and recited with excellent expression.
 'The Worlds Greatest Ruin" Is the great Roman Coliseum and its won derful construction was well described by Ezra Egley. Following the selec- ton. "Il Trovatore" by the orchestra. Ben Kimber showed considerable for ensic ability in his Oration. "Our Flag" II was a tribute to old Glory. and one that never fails to strike the spark of patriotism in an American audience. After the pleasing song. "The Gypsies' Chorus" by the class. Pauline Reno recited very admirably and with good elocutiOnarv effect Ri ley's poem. "Grigsby Station" Helen Marshal rendered a piano solo. "Fas- fihdtioH NdltI. m manner that drew the attention of the hearers. af- ter which the valedictorv.

She thanked the parents and friends for their presence. and tho teachers. under whose careful training they had advanced to the hour of graduation. and then turning to her class. spoke of the parting and of the that were in life for them The speakers manner and degree of emphasis was very pleasing. After a few words by Mayor Coggins. who presented the diplomas. the program was completed by a Parting Song by the class and the benediction by Rev A. R. MacLean.
 As a summary 1t might be said that the entire exercises of the evening and the manner in which the graduates ac- quilted themselves was a glowing teS- timonial of the value of the school and to the efficiency of the 1 teachers under whom the class. which is the largest ever graduated from the ! grammar schools of the city. has ar rived at such high educational stan | lard.

Iht GRADUATING CLASS
 OF THE GRADE SCHOOL
The Members Proudly Acquitted Themselves Last Night in ar Inter estine Program.

The graduating class of the Phoenix grammar schools wore the laurels last night and. greeted by an overflowing house of enthusiastic and appreciative friends and parents. very creditablv acquitted themselves in the closing ex- ercises of the school year. The pro- gram rendered was entertaining and held the attention of the audience throughout. and each number was greeted with hearty applause. The spirit of the hearers was one with the elated spirit of the class and this har- mony lent encouragement to the per formers to do their best
 Beyond a beautiful bank of flowers and evergreens the class was arrang- ed on the stage in semi-circles and at each side were appropriate floral dec orations. The introductory musical number on the program was 'Tann- hauser's March" which was well ren- dered by the orchestra. Following this the invocation was pronounced by the Rev. H. NJ. Campbell.
 "Estudiantina." a class chorus and a very sweet selection. contained the truth, Into an army We shall grow" In the Greeting" by Velma Coyle there was welcome extended to the many who were present, and in a very impressive manner the speaker spoke of this graduation as only the first rung in the laGder of education. The piano solo by Selma Goldberg was greeted with much applause. Bells in Story and Song was a poetical es- say bv Vivian Young. The speaker said around the bells cluster many memories. and they have weird fas- cination that is all their own. The traditions about bells their insclip- tiOns and superstitions. were touched upon and the essay closed with a me lodious poem that won the apprecia- tion Of the hearers.
 The tension was pleasantly broken by the very humorous selection. "The SohOolbOy's Apples. which was recit- ed by Marguerite Haddrill. The size of the crop of apples that a boy can carry is tradition. There were a few old boys in the audience who could something of their capacity as apple storages. The. ."Lovely Rose" by twelve little girls. merited the ap- plause that it received. following WHICH JuSiuS boeDei Teciteu taSSluS Against Caesar" The speaker was a little confused at one time but he did so well in delivery that the audience was not satisfied till he came back and gave another recital of the great Shakespearean selection. The piano solo ''Valse Brillante" by Teresa Morgan. was very creditably played and received complimentary applause

 For the accommodation of customers. most of the banks have large banking rooms and as a rule located at prom inent corners. In Los Angeles there is a greater proportion of banking busi- ness transacted for the assistance and convenience of travellers than in most cities of its size. and this condition has led to the adoption of methods es- pecially designed to give satisfactory service to tourists who are visiting here and who are apt to find it rather inconvenient to secure proper identifi- cation in a strange city.
 A plan adopted by the leading say ings banks is described as follows:
 Each bank in eastern cities is fur nished with blank form of letter of introduction addressed to the savings bank in Los Angeles. and attached to it is a stub for signature of payee. The eastern bank officers send to the say ings bank samples of their own sigma lures when a customer is coming to Los Angeles, the letter of introduction

Som Facts Concerning the Financial Institutions of the Southern Cali forEis Metropolis.

The following article by J. Henry Wood formerly Of Phoenix will shortly appear i8 New York publication as 2 part of the report of the California Bankers convention:
 To the disseminating Visitor.-the one who by Knowledge and observa- tion is capable of making comparisons --the visible strength and prosperity of the financial institutions of Los An geles, is one of the most impressive facts to attract immediate attention.
 Grand structures, magnificent bank ing quarters, wide-awake people in charge. and a genuine aspect of busi- ness-like methods, on all prominent corners in the citys center. invariably convey the idea that in the matter of banks. this city is well represented.
 The underlying facts fully sustain such an impression for We have-tak- ing the figures officially compiled Jan uary l, 19O7-thirty- banks whose combined capital and surplus exceed the sum of sls,OO0 Oo0.OO and whose de- pOsits amounted to over SlO0 900. .000.00. 2 Los Angeles is a very young city. but of its leading banks as compared with older cities of equal population are noticeably in its favor. Taking four other cities. having each a population of about 250.0O0. the standing of the three leading banks. and of the three leading banks in Los Angeles, is as follows:

is filled out by the savings bank, and the stub with payee's signature is mailed to the savings bank. There is thus on file here. when the visitor ar rives with the letter of introduction a sample of his or her signatures. as well as the signature of the eastern bank. This makes a fairly good chain of evidence by which the stranger can be identified and so saves the trouble and annoyance, which so often mars a visitors pleasure. while away from home. This systematic method of pro- viding identification in advance is rather an expensive one for the bank here. and for that reason its operation is limited to the larger institutions.
 As matter of historical record Of growth the banking industry of Los Angeles makes a remarkable showing for the past 40 years. when the first bank was opened here But the growth of the last ten years is the most mo- ticeable. At that time there were less than 9 per cent of the present num- Der of banks. and their deposits amounted to about 10 per cent of their total today. An increase of about 75 per cent in the number of banks. and of about 90 per cent in amount of de pOsits. is most exceptional record of ten years growth.
 Taking concrete instances of this growth, the three oldest now doing business, viz: Farmers & Merchants National which organized in 1871, the First National Bank, organized 1880 and the Security Savings Bank. organ ized Gas l.. A. Savings Bk.) in 1884. are also the largest. showing that the de- velopment has been along natural lines in which the first banks participated in due proportion. The present standing of these three banks in relation to the subsequently organized institution is as follows:
 Security Savings Bank,
 deposits Jan 1, 1907... s15. .515. .339.36 First National Bank.
 deposits Jan. l, 19O7.. 15,45O,46S Farmers & Mer. Nat Blk,

 Total of these three. si4.076. 736.i2
 Toal of all other bks. 55,s43. Sl6.S6
 Grand total .......... S1OO. 020, ,5S3.2S
 The stability of our banks is note worthy. only two bank failures in it's history is the Los Angeles record. These were small and happened in 1893 and 1885 So that in the ten years of greatest growth, there have been no black spots to spoil the page Of progress.
