BANK TALK

A bank account is not a luxury, but necessity. The plain, unprivleged citizen must work, system atize, save some but need not be miserly
 The miser, who keeps his hoard hidden and draws interest not thrifty. He lets his plant run down for want of food and repairs. The thrift habit merely asks for trial and cheerfuly refunds money in case of dissatisfaction.

WHITELAW REID TO QUIT
Rumor of Recall of Gay Ambassador
in London.

London, Dec. 21.-In diplomatic
! circles of London it is said that
Whitelaw Reid will leave the dip
lomatic service when the new adj
ministration comes into power in
Washington Ambassador Reid has
caused it to be known that he is willing
to continue at his present post. but he
has been unable to obtain any intima-
ton from Washington that Mr.. Taft
would be pleased to permit him to re-
main at the court of St. James.
Society will part with the Reds
reluctantly, and his departure will
be a grievous blow to London trades
men. The ambassador has been an
extravaganza entertainer. He set such
pace in the luxury and splendor of
am bassadorial receptions, dinners,
luncheons and balls that even the
Russian, French and German am
bassadors. who controf huge govern
ment sums for purposes of entertain
ment. could not keep UP with the am
bassadOr from America.
A story has reached London from
Washington to the effect that the ex-
travagant splendor maintained by
Reid has displeased Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Taft. Not only has Reid eclipsed
all preceding ambassadors at the
court of st. James in the magnificent
state with which he maintains the
American embassy. but he has
aroused the envy of the American am
bassadors at '6ther capitals in Europe
who have been unable to emulate
Reid.
The report from Washington is that
Mr.. Taft has expressed a desire that
the New American ambassador in
London, whoever he may be, shall re-
vert to the simplicity and style of liv-
ing characteristic of famous American
ambassadors of the past. Diplomatic
circles in London have not yet re-
ceived hint who Reid's successor
will be. He will have to be a mil
lionaire in order to maintain the title
and state characteristic of Dorchester |

From the Chanute Sun: A. G. Hoag,
a machinist at the Santa Fe round
house, was seriously injured yesterday
morning in an accident which may cost
him his eyesight. Hoag was working
about an engine in the repair depart
ment when a heavy monkey wrench
fell from overhead, striking him
squareIy in the left eye. The point of
the wrench struck just over the eyeball
and beneath the frontal bone, COM
pressing the former and forcing It par
TALLY out of the socket. The injury
was intensely painful and until care
full examination had been made by the
company surgeons it was feared that
the eyeball had been burst. The injury
proved Of a less serious nature than
this. however, and it is barely possible
that the sight can be saved. Hoag was
sent to the Santa F'e hospital at To-
peka where there are eye specialists.
