Like a Jubilation
The proceedings before Justice Clark
,@So-dsy were in the nature OF a general
eubilation, in sharp contrast to the
previous hearings when the disposition
Of small minority of recalcitiant de-
postors TO refuse to assent to the re-
sumption plan threatened to throw the
bank into a permanent receivershiT.
Justice Clark. who has consistently
maintained that the institution should
resume business, was all smiles VIXEN
he took his seat on the bench.
There were present-also smiling

: nittees; Julien T. Davies. representing

Representative OF the Attorney General s
Office. The temporary receivers were
not represented.
Justice Clark handed to Mr.. satterlee
the report of Supt. Williams, and Mr..
Eatterlee read it. The report indorsed
the plan without equivocation.
Supt. Williams said that the legal

Sup;. Williams. in going over the plan
OF resumption. has looked into the
future. He finds that in the next
twentv-nlnc months the bank will earn
at least s3SOO.ooo. Out of this the in

dom OF which comparatively little is
known.
Both amphiblans and reptiles are
strongly attracted by water, even in dis
tances too great for it to be detected
through any sense known to us. and the
writer explains it as a sort of chemical
attraction
Sight, perhaps, is the most acute of the
senses in both reptiles and amphibians.
Alligators and crocodles see best side
ways. and can also see backward at an
angle o. 30 degrees. These are the only
ones Of both varieties which can hear,

constructors are entirely deaf
Taste Is not lacking in any Of these
animals. The snake has a sense of taste
sufficiently delicate to distinguish be-
tween different species Of snakes. The
snakes tongue also presents the 0gi.y re-
markable point observed with regard to
the sense of touch, either in reptiles or
amphibians By means of this organ the
snake doubtless obtains knowledge Of
surrounding objects which it has never
touched.
The tongue is moved rapidly up and
down. and apparently the air vibrations
produced strike against objects and are
reflected back from them in such a way
as to give an idea OF their position.

REFLECTIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL
Nv HELEN ROWLAND.
By HELEN ROWLAND.

Some men think that by putting
on a silk hat and a white Ascot
tie they are disguised as gentlemen.
Love is like gamblingi you want
to be sure that you are a good
loser before you go in for the
game.
OF course, it's awfully funny to
see a dignified old gentleman
climbing upstairs on all fougs at
a. M, with his hat on one side,
his Shoes IN his hands, and his
collar on cr0oked-but his wife
never appreciates the joke.
One thing / can never understand
and that is how man can tell
the front from the back of his hat,
but he always can.
A mans idea of honor is so pc
culiar; he would die rather than
steal a friends money or cheat
him at cards. but he will steal his
wife or cheat him out of his daugh-
ter with perfect equanlmity.
All men are the game after ten
years Of matrimony; they all smell
of cloves and tobacco, talk in mon
osyllables. and tell the same stories
when they come home late.
Beware Of fortune tellers-espe-
clally if they are the amateur kind
that hold your hand while they
read the signs in your face.

around and discovered that the music
was coming from the old cows mouth.
That was too much, and he bolted for the
house, telling Mrs. DOlley TO come TO

Investigation showed that the little boy

have to stun your handkerchief into your
mouth to keep from hopping up and go

This girl had arranged 1t so that her
real husband would stand up just then

here came a stout, elderly man and

girl to this day are perfectly heart-rend-
