Venice Had First Great Bank.

The first great bank in the world
was the Bank of Venice, established
in 1857, when the Queen City of the
Adriatic was at the head of the COM
MERGE of the western world. At that
time the great current of the trade
between Europe and Asia passed
through the Persian gulf and the Red
sea to Alexandria, Egypt, and was car
ried in ships across the Mediterranean
sea and through the Adriatic to Ven
ice, where it was distributed to vari-
Gus parts of Europe. Venice was
sort of autocratic republic, founded
and supported by its merchants, who
were famed throughout the world for
their wealth and reliability. They
founded their bank, which was guaran-
teed by the government, and was held
In high credit in all the great cities on
the routes of trade. The word bank"
was derived from the Italian word
"banco" a bench or counter over
which the business was transacted.

VIRTUE IN A GOOD PUDDING
In This Instance II eanished "Pa's"
Pessimistie Thoughts and Opal
Got Her New Dress.

Land, how dtsagreeable everything
Isl" cried Ma, heres julie a-gittin'
mad at her own brother. and here's
you, Opal, havin' no buds to wear to
the picnic But | don't believe I'd asst
your Pa for a new dress. cause that'd
make everything more disagreeable
than ever"
But Opal could not give up the idea
of a new dress. and so. as soon as her
father and her brother Jed were seat
ed at the supper table that evening.
she courageously said: PA. can l
have a new dress to wear to the pic
nic?"
"A new dress" echoed her father
gruffly. Il don't know nothin about
1t; but this do know, we've gotta be
awful careful of money jest now while
the factorys runnin' light"
"Whatd tell you, Opal?" asked her
mother significantly.
Pa ate his potatoes and meat in
grim silence But after he began on
the rice pudding his scowl gradually
relaxed, and a look of peace over
spread his tired face; for the pudding
tasted very good TO him. And as he
slowly munched the raisins, he
glanced speculatively at Opal; then.
after every crumb was gone, said
pleasantly, What kind of dress do
you want. Opal?" !
"A thin white one; and | can't go
to the picnic without-a new dress"
Pa sheepishly handed Opal three 81
yer dollars.
"Oh, thank you, Pa cried Opal joy
fully. Can / have it, MAJ"
Didn't your Pa give it to you? But
I dunno as he would if we hadn't
worked on his feelin's with the pud-
din" worried Ma.

TO COUNTY CHAIRMEN.
Duties of Officials in Pri-
mary Arrangements.

San Antonio, Texas, May 10.--To the
Chairmen Of the county Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committees of Texas Dear Sirs--
Information has reached the headquar-
ters of the state democratic executive
committee through letters and from
other reliable sources, of plans being
formulated by which the time-honored
usages Of the-party are to be ignored in
certain counties, to the extent of permit
ting republicans and other alien ele-
ments to participate in the general
democratic primary election, to be held
ON July 80, 1910. We consider it our
duty to warn all democrats, particularly
county chairmen and election officers,
against countenancing, in any manner,
the carrying out of such conspiracy. To
permit republicans or other known oppo-
nents of the organized democracy to
participate in the actions or the councils
of the democratic party would bein vio-
lation Of the spirit, il not the letter. Of
the primary election law Of the state
and in defiance of the well-established
custom and usage of the party in Texas.
Such violations would be scandal on
the name Of democracy and tend to party
Generalization and political debauchery
You, as county chairman, are instruct
ed to inform all presiding officers Of
election in the different counties to use
every effort possible to keep republicans
and others not democrats out of the
democratic primaries on July %, Where
there is any reasonable question as to q
mans democracy, presiding officers
should challenge him and administer to
him, under oath, the party test, printed
at the head Of the official ballot. A list
should be kept of all such challenged
and sworn voters.
1t should not be forgotten that the
primaries to be held on July % are in
tended, solely and alone, for democrats
and no person Of any other political par
ty or organization should participate
therein, or be permitted to participate i
he attemps to do so. Respectfully,
A. B. STOREY,
Chairman State Democratic Executive
