''For the past year l have been

so well that I shall. after returning

there to stay permanently" said l. W.
Hughes. a capitalist. OF London. Eng.

ordinary attractions. During my whole
sojourn there felt that life was real

a measure barred from my chief pleas
ure. pedestrianism. One can't walk
much in that place because OF its great
altitude. You are over a mile high
there. The air is so deficient in oxy-
gen that the heart must do greatly
more than the normal amount of work.
and after footing it few blocks you
are painfully aware Of the fact by the
way that the heart IS humping. That
also accounts for the great numbers

as much TO maintain decent estab-
lishment down there as in New York

A lady attended a state ball In a
dress the skirt of which was arranged
In perpendicular plaits in front, stitched
across at intervals, and, unknown TO
her, a gold teaspoon got lodged at sup
per in one Of these pocketlike folds In
the cloth. OF course, there was one
spoon missing after the ball, and the
fact caused great perturbation to the
official In charge OF the gold plate. The
next spring the lady went to drawing
room In the dress she had worn at the
state ball. and as she bent low before
Her Majesty the piaits Of her skirt
expanded and the gold spoon fell at the
queens feet.

When the announcement was made
several months ago that Mr.. Taft
would use an automobile during his
terms as president, much rivalry de-
veloped among the leading manufaetur-
ers for the honor Of selling him a car
and the public watched with interest
to see what Mr.. Taft : choice would be.
The knowing ones predicted that the
White Steamer would be selected and
they pointed out that President Roose-
Welt had used White Steamers for two
years at his summer home at Oyster
Bay and had recommended this make
TO Mr. Taft as the most desirable.
This prediction proved correct, al

week ending August IA, shows q. loss in
specie and legals OF S5,S5S. 100. This was
larger than had been figured in the pre-
liminary estimates. Ii is noteworthy that
for the first time this season the banks
have lost money to the interior. and II
is quite likely that tile same movement
will be in evidence for some weeks &c
come, during the buster part of the
crop season, at least. The loans of the
banks were reduced s., Ill. 7W, and this

will be shown in the expansion of the
