FISH AND PEABODY
The Former Told the Latter to Go to Blazes and Peabody Said
 "0b, My"

Chicago, Oct 17.-Probably the most interesting incident of yester- days meeting of Illinois Central directors, which preceded the annual meeting of the stockholders, was tilt between Charles A. Peabody, president of the Mutual Life Insur- ance Co, and Stuyvesant Fish. MT Peabody is regarded as one of the most dignified men in New York. A dispute arose as to certain action at a previous meeting. MT Fish made a statement of his position in the matter and MT Peabody declared MT Fish had not voted the way he was then voting upon the same subject. One word led to another and MT Peabody all but passed the lie to MT Fish. He stated that what MT Fish had said was far from the truth. Mir Fish arose and shouted at his op- ponent: MT Peabody, you cannot talk to me like that, nor is there a man living with inches enough to tell me that I do not tell the truth.
 In his excitement MT Fish had moved toward MT Peabody, but made no further hostile delnonstra- ton. Turning to the directors, he declared that it was their evident in- tention to delay matters beyond reasonable limit and that as he had more urgent business he would leave for his hotel.
 As MT Fish was passing from the room MT Peabody arose and called to him. The life insurance man started to say that he was sorry for what he had said and that undoubt- edly in the heat of the argument he had overstepped the bounds of gen tlemanly conduct. MT Fish was striding from the roor, with face aflame and did not hear MT Pea body. A member of tha board who was near him said, "Mr Fish, MT Peabody is apologizing. He is sorry for what he said.'
 MT Fish did not check the speed of his exit. but shouted, q have not the slightest interest in what MT Peabody is CT is not sorry for, and he can go to blazos- Good day, gen tlemen"
 When the crisp sentence fell upon MT Peabody's ears that gentleman collapsed in his chair. "Oh, my" he gasped, gentlemen, assure you that regre. it.''
 Mr Hartman, who had been watching the proceedings with inter- est and some amusement, said: "Oh. never mind him, MT Peabody. Let him go and we can get down to buSineSs.2.e 2.e---,.-, .-.a. .- .. ,,., ..-''

THE RUSSIAN LOAN
Was Arranged During Recent Visit to France Floods in
 France Cause Big Loss.

Paris, Oct 1.-The Gil Bias states that a Russian loan was practically arranged during the recent visit to France of Russian Finance Minister Kokovsoff, but that Premier Clem- enceau, at the last moment, with held his approval until the Russian foreign minister, M. Iswolsky, gave certain assurances and specified in a concrete manner certain points in the Franco-Russian alliance. This, it is said, is the reason for Iswolsky's present visit to Paris.
 The paper further states that the questions to be considered are the emission of the loan in France, revis- ion of the Franco-Russian military convention, publication of the diplo- matic part of the Franco-Russian treaty and the intervention of the duna in the event of the loan being authorized here.
 Paris, Oct 17.--Dispatches from the center and south of France to- day all confirm the worst reports of the destruction caused by the floods. The rivers Loire, Rhone and Saone and their tributaries are raging tor rents, causing in. some places the highest water ever recorded. In hundreds of cities and towns the water is from two to ten feet high in the streets, resulting in great dis tress.-
 Railroad traffic is utterly disor- ganized. At places the roadbeds have been washed away and the sta tions are under water.
 Fortunately the. storm center is now moving seaward, the weather is clearing and the worst appears to be oyer.'

Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing
methods Of describing spiral growth.
The plants that turn to the right in
the northern hemisphere reverse this
trend in the southern hemisphere and
therefore, for the sake of consistency,
it may be preferable to describe the
two kinds Of spiral tendency as re-
spectively "clockwise'' and counter
clockwise," which latter can be short
ened to "counterwise." The honey
suckle and the hop turn "clockwise,' y
while the convolvulus and the scarlet
runner bean Irvine "counterwlse. Ex-
periments made by growing scarlet run
ner beans in opaque cylinders, to dis
cover whether the deviation of the
twist was innate or merely from the
direction Of the light, disclosed the
fact that the plant possesses an inclina-
ton resembling the instinct of animals,
Of proceeding in given direction, and

Souvenirs Of a Criminal Career.

A bedroom papered with, the flags Of
all nations is occupied by an artist
who has hankering for oddities. Ev-
cry nationality under the sun is rep
resented by the colors on the walls,
and the effect upon person when first
entering the room is somewhat daZ-
cling. Those flags said the artist,
represent career Of crime which has
extended over the entire world. In
fact, 1 am an international thief.
When I toured Africa, Asia, Europe
and Australia some years ago with two
other fellow artists we each boosted of
our ability in 'pinching' towels from
the hotels at which we stopped. The
fellow who got the lowest number was
to pay the passage of the other two
back to this country. I came in first
by managing to collect POI towels,
many Of which came from world IA
nous hotels. When I got them home
Immediately turned them into flags
with my water colors, and they make
good souvenirs Of my criminal career"

"The AImiahty Dollar"

A recent headline, Rule of the Dol
lar" has suggested the inquiry, Who
originated the familiar phrase .'the
almighty dollar?" It was Washington
Irving in ''The Creole Village which
he published in 1887 The phrase be-
came so popular and excited so much
controversy in consequence of doubt
whether the adjective was irreverent
that its author had to explain eighteen
years later that he had intended mo
irreverence, even to the dollar, which
he is well aware Is becoming daily
more and more an object of worship"
Dollar" is certainly one of the worlds
great words now, and it is difficult to
realize that it only means 'valleyer,"
the "thaler'' having been named after
the Joachimsthal, in Bohemia. In whose
valley it was first coined in the six
teenth century.-London Chronicle.

The ten commandments as revised

plan:
First-You shall sell your farm
products for cash whenever you can,
but not to us; we do not buy from
you.
Second-You shall believe our
statements and buy all you need
from us because we want to be good
to you, although we are not person
ally acquainted with you.
Third-You shall send us the
money in advance to give us the
| chance to get the goods from the
factory with your money; meanwhile
you will have to wait patiently a few
weeks, because that is our business
method. a.
Fourth-You shall apply to your
nearest city to aid you in building
good roads SO you may conveniently
get the goods from the depot which
you buy from us, for we do not build
country roads.
Fifth-You shall buy church bells
and interior fixtures from us and for
ward money in advance, for that is
our business method, and you shall
collect from the business men in
your vicinity as much money as you
can for the benefit of the churches.
Although we get more money from
you than they do, still it is against
our rules to donate money for build
ing country churches. -
Sixth-You shall buy your tools
from us and be your own mechanic,
in order to drive the mechanics from
your vicinity, for we wish it SO: -.
b. Seventh-You shall induce your
neighbor to buy everything from us,
as we have room for more money
the less money there is left in your
community, the sooner we can put
your local merchants out of business
and charge you any price we please.
Eighth-You shall look often at
the beautiful pictures in our cata-
logue, so your wishes will increase,
and you will send in a big order, al
though you are not in immediate
need of the goods, otherwise you
might have some money left to buy
necessary goods of your local mer-
chants.
Ninth-You shall have the me-
chanic who repairs the goods you
buy from US book the bill so you can
send the money for his labor to us
for new goods, otherwise he will not
notice our influence.
Tenth-You shall in case Of acci-
dent, sickness or need, apply to your
local dealers for aid and credit, as
we do not know YOU st. Paul
