The common opinion Is that it is the
work of several authors. The greater
part of the book may have been written
by Solomon, but study Of it shows that
1t consists Of a number OF parts which
are clearly distinct. The part in which
our lesson is found is called the words
of the WISE 1t begins with chapter %:
II and continues to CHAPTER 24:22. They
are Familiarity addressed to my son."
and from beginning to end they are full
of the profoundest wisdom. Our lesson
is. perhaps, the clearest and strongest
temperance address that has ever been
written. 1t should be committed to men,

personalities.
Last week a man told me he had
found another town named after me. L
asked him if it was Jonesville or Jones'
boro. He said that it was Bald Knob"
AS Mr.. Jones has few more hairs than
Park Pitman. the joke caught on and
it was smooth sailing after that for the
representative of the Jones family
George Smith, of Chicago was next
introduced. In his letter to W. L. Too
ley. chairman of the entertainment com
mittee read by Owen White Smith said
he did not want any brass band or
school children to meet him at the train,
but that he would never let a man
named Jones get the best of a man
named Smith, and he would consent to
speak if the atmospheric conditions
were right
The smoker committee saw to It that
these conditions were perfect and Smith
had the same crowd whooping it up
for the Smiths before he had finished
speaking He told as many stories as
Jones and got as many laughs from
the bankers. The Smith-Jones contest
was declared a draw and the two men
retired with honors even.

wife to the convention and was given
vote OF sympathy in the form Of a
resolution. The secretary said he was
Campbell in Ell Paso this week and that
he was running things in Ell Paso and
"the ring" had better listen to him.
Fred z. Farnsworth, general secre-
tary of the Bankers association, of New
York. told Of his troubles in reaching
FL Paso by way of two dry states and
one wet one, the wet one being made so
by the high waters of the Mississippi
and not by any lack of prohibition. He
then told stories on judge Dunlap him
self and the other bankers, and closed
by telling the crowd how glad he was
TO meet them. The letter read to the
bankers. supposedly from Joseph T.

will be given to relaxation and socia-
bility; while the third day will be occu-
pied in seeing the industrial enter
prises of FL Paso, and the National
sport of the people on the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande river. The bankers
and entertainment committee of the
Ell Paso banking institutions have made
every preparation 10 insure this TWEEN

to be remembered with delight
1t too commonly occurs that some of
the most important resolutions to be
acted on, including the election Of Off
GERS, come at the closing hour of our
state conventions. when a majority Of
the del agates have slipped away from
the meeting for pleasure or personal
business 1t is earnestly desired that
the Ell Paso convention may be an ex-
ception in this regard. The committee
have reduced the business sessions to
only the morning hours Of the first two
days, and have left the third day wholly
for relaxation; so that it should not be
considered a hardship for members to
stay with the business sessions of the
convention until everything on the pro-
gram is disposed of, and also welcome
and encourage the incoming officers
when they are installed.

HAS POCKETFULL OF BOGUS
CHECKS-POLICE TRUST HIM.
o. III. Sullivan Says the Bankers Are
Easy Prey for Pen Artists-Hns
Many Evidences.

See that man over there? Speak soft
ly Well, he has a pocketful of bum
checks. What?

nal, no doubt, come TO rob the poor

van, Protectograph." oh, that's all right
He should carry the bum checks. That s
his business.
Mr. Sullivan is not a robber. Quite
the contrary. He is a scientist 1t is
his business to tell bankers how 10
know q bad check when they meet one
And that is not easy. The visitor rep
resents a company which furnishes
system to detect bad check and drafts.
1t is preventive, not detective.
Look at some of Mr.. Sullivan's bad
checks. He has one raised from 81 TO
$40 without any erasing. 1t is very
simple The g"one" is, written over and
made into forty" without missing a
stroke. He also has one showing
change from 81 to $50. That is simple;
also another where the forger had al
tered the little perforations from $40 TO
$40 That is difficult. 1t is done with
coIodium, you can see the glace on the
back Of the check This one was done
by erasing-with acid, of course.
Paper raising is on the Increase,
statistics will prove it," declares the
bad check expert. 1T is very simple
thing to do. There are all sorts OF
ways to do it. and all sorts Of men are

That was the song the bankers sang
Tuesday night. And 1t was fair wealth
er at the Fraternal hall, when 500 good
fellows got together with the stems on
the table and the good song ringing
clear.
For three hours the bankers romped
and sang and yelled to their hearts
content at the oneA informal feature Of
bankers week, where everyone was
privileged TO take off his coat and have
q good time
The smoker opened with a Spanish
dinner, served at tables scattered over
the big ball room floor Of the Fraternal
Brotherhood hall, and it looked IKE
a night In Bohemia to see the bankers
and business men, with the officers OF
the 23rd infantry dressed in spotless
white, sitting around the tables, eat
ing, drinking and singing with the
abandon which comes with week
away from business cares and worries.
The Talkfest.
After the dinner the bankers gathered
around the platform where the prom
inent bankers of the state and the VS.
ting bankers from the east and mid
die west had been seated and for two
hours listened to a rapid fire lombard
ment of fun from the entertainers
among the bankers. John l. Dyer was
the POSTMASTER He introduced each
of the takers with q little speech tell
ing of his past performance and pedl-
gree and had the crowd whooplns
things up by the time the first one nad
started to speak
The hit of the smoker was a popu-
larity contest between Jones. of New
York, and Smith, OF Chicago Owen
White, of the local entertainment COM
mittee, read letters from both OF these
representatives of two famous and dis
tinguished families, telling OF their
abilities as speakers and how good
they were in entertaining crowds sta
tisticaT" Jones was introduced first IN
reality he is W. o. Jones, Of the Ma
tional Park bank of New York, but he
was introduced as Statistical Jones,
the man who was fed on facts and fat
tened on figures. Jones is a fat, jolly
Pickwick type of a man. and he mad
the crowd all voting for the Jones END
of the contest as soon as he got
going.
Jones VS.. Smith,
He said he had heard so much about
Jones and Smith that he was in
Brown" study TO know what to say
Right there he had to stop speaking TO
allow the crowd to have its laugh out.
He continued by saying that he had
more towns named after him than
