ROOSEVELT NOT ONLY
HORSEMAN PRESIDENT.
Washington, Jackson and Grant
Were All Good EqueStrians.

From one viewpoint President Roose-
| yelt's successful 17-hour endurance
test in the saddle is exceptional. From
another it is not. None of his prede-
cessors ever stood it while in office, yet
most of them were admirable horsemen.
For the greater part of history,
Workmanship was limos Indispensable
in the life of the average American.
1t was a commonplace requirement, not
a graceful accomplishment. as it was in
the case of so many Europeans.
Washington, a superb equestrian,
took long rides up to the day of his
fatal sickness. yet when travelling,
scorned not the bulky coach which
visitors to Mt. Vernon are still per-
mitted to behold. Jefferson's legendary
ride, on his Inauguration day, to the
capital. where, it is said, he dismounted
and hitched his horse, is, in itself, a
summary of the social conditions of the
time. Jackson, long before he was a
commander or soldier even, was at
home with his feet in the stirrups.
Lincoln, who rode to Circuit Courts
along trails of Illinois mud, was no
mean cavilier. He kept his seat well,
but unless his mount was a very high
one. his long legs almost touched the
ground.
Grant. one of the best of all the ex-
cel]ent horsemen who rode into the
Presidency, manifested a liking for
driving after he became the nations
chief. Yet in the eye of history he
lives in the saddle, cigar between lips
and peering straight ahead, in line
with his horses ears.-Boston Globe.

ANOTHER MOVE TO GET
FREEDOM FOR PATRICK.
Argues That His Sentence Cam
not Be Changed.

NEW YORK, reb. 3.-Justice William
j. Gaynor, of the Appellate Division of
the Supreme Court. in Brooklyn, grant
ed a writ of habeas corpus yesterday,
calling for the appearance of Lawyer
Albert T. Patrick, now serving a COM
muted sentence for life Imprisonment
in Sing Sing for the murder of William
Marsh Rice, on March l. before the full
William L. Mcdonald, counsel for
Patrick, asked for the writ on the
ground that the Communication of the
death penalty to life Imprisonment by
the late Governor Higgins was not war
ranted, in that it was a change to a
punishment not provided by statute for
the crime for which Patrick was con-
victed, and that the change was to the
prisoners disadvantage, in that it was
an imposition of a different n greater
punishment.
The object of the application is to set
Patrick free.

Bank Advertising.

The alert business diScernment
of bankers is recognized and looked
w to in all walks of commercial
lite, and just now one of the most
significant signs of the times is the
development of bank advertising A
few years back bankers we're ex-
tremely conservative in the matter,
and the banker who went beyond a
standing card" was looked upon as
a reckless infringer on financial
ethics. Nowadays, however, you see
the columns of nearly every daily
newspaper more or less occupied
with neat advertisements setting
out i'll well-Written sentences why
every man should keep his money
in bank, explaining the more per-
feet safety and increased conven-
fence, and pointing out the fact that
a fair amount of interest will be
paid Oh deposits.
This modern advertising method
on the part of the banker is good,
because it makes people think more
seriously about the absolute safety
of their money and at the same
time it places money where it may
be used as a basis of credit and
multipIieS its value The bank in
these days that does not advertise
does not get his share of the bust
ness. Quincy Herald.
