Gus device should have been chosen
in A. d. 1914 by the good citizens of

One solution of the problem is that

Pen, which means a headland, and

Cars Many Thrones.

Emperor Nicholas of Russia has
many thrones. The three chief ones
are those at the imperial palace and
the winter palace at st. Petersburg,
and in the Kremlin at Moscow. This
last was a present to Gear Alexis in
1860 from the shah Of Persia. 1t is
entirely covered with thick plates OF
gold set with precious stones and al.
ternating with plaques of ivory, chis-
eled In high relief. The fact and date
Of the presentation are recorded In
an inscription on the back of the
throne. Just above are glistening
dotble-headed eagles OF Russia, with
angels on either side supporting the
imperial crown. In the imperial pal.
ace at st. Petersburg the throne
stands in an alcoye of. the marble
throne room, with q wide.stretching
canopy with thick gold cords and deep
frihges OF gold embroidery. On the
curtains behind are emblazoned tho
arms Of the Romanoffs surmounted by
the crown, With curious star.shaped
border all round. Three wide steps
lead up to tho throne.

HIS SOUND FINANCIAL ADVICE
Pat Had Better Scheme Than Making
Run on the Bank.

The comedy Of life is always merci.
fully near the tragedy, and even bank
runs produce an occasionally funny
bit.
Recently, when Wall street was
filled nearly all day with surging
crowd trying to get to the teller's
window in a trust company there,
two water-side characters appeared
from the direction of the East river.
They pushed their way up the street
and wondered much at the strainHng
crowds. They could not understand
1t and nobody seemed to have time
to enlighten them till they came to
a friendly patrolman. To him they
applied for informat ton in this wise:
"Phwat's all the row about?"
Bank rum said he.
"Phwat's that?"
THE people are afraid the bank
Will close up before they get their
money out. There IL a lot Of trouble
with the banks and the people think
1t is safer to get their cash."
"Oh, yis, keeh somethin' about
that in the papers"
We'll, that's the answer. That's
what they are trying to do"
and how, do they do IT."
They write a check for the amount
Of their money In the bank and give
1t to the teller, and he pays them the
cash"
That's cashing check, isn't ~"
Yes, that's right"
... Sure, ! know what a check .fs. Had
one OF two myself. But why DO they
go to the banks. when they think they
may close up? A bank at thJs time ID
