LONDON BANK CLERKS.
Their Dress and Mode OF Living Gen.
fury Ago.

Their Dress and Mode CT Living a Gen.
fury Ago.
A hundred years ago the number of
bank clerks in London must have been
inconsiderable. The old banks needed
only small STATS. Quite late in the
eighteenth century one of the biggest
conducted its business with two clerks.
The engagement of a third created
great excitement. His arrival was still
more exciting, for we are assured that
"he wore a long tapped coat with
large pockets; the sleeves had broad
cuffs, with three large buttons, some
what like the coats worn by Green
witch pensioners; an embroidered waist
coat reaching nearly down to his
knees, with an enormous bouquet in
the buttonhole; cooked hat, powdered
hair, with pigtail and bagwig, and
gold headed cane" This, no doubt
was something of a peacock, even for
his time. A few years later. in the
early part of the nineteenth century,
the correct official garb was knee
breeches, silk stockings, shoes with
silver buckles and often a white tie.
One can scarcely ina CINE dress more
suggestive Of sober opulence.
But it does not seem that, according
to our ideas. the manner of life was
quite in harmony with this impressive
appearance. Not for the bank clerk of
the early eighteen hundreds the i'm
maculately clean and deliberately fitted
restaurants OF the modern city! Not
for him tea shops with varieties of
harmless drinks and tempting light
food If he wanted q meal he went to
the butcher and bought himself a chop
- steak for ivepence halfpenny or
-iXpence. This he carried himself to
an adjacent public house, where they
cooked it for a penny. The public
house, in fact, played no small part in
his life.
Is it not a tradition that the clearing
house has grown from the meetings OF
clerks in a tavern, where they met for
the purpose of settling up accounts
among themselves? - London Tele

The Harmon Idea.

Judson Harmon, who has been re-
nominated by the democrats of Ohio
for executive of the state, was elected
governor two years ago by $4,000 on
the same day that Taft, republican,
carried Ohio by $4,000. If he can
carry his state a second time his avail
ability as a presidential candidate two
years hence will have to be conceded.
Governor Harmon is an eminent
lawyer and judge who was once at
torney general of the United States,
but his relation to present day issues
dates from June 5, 1905, when he and
his associate, Frederick n. Judson,
resigned as special counsel for the
government because President Roose-
welt would not permit them to prose-
cute individually the officers of the
Santa Fe railroad company who were
charged with rebating. One of these
officers was Paul Morton, a member
of Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet When Har-
mon and Judson withdrew from pro-
ceeding which they evidently thought
lacking in good faith, they said:
Corporations cannot be impris-
not only inadequate, but reaches
the real culprits only lightly, II at
all. The evils with which we are
now confronted are corporate in
name but individuals in fact.
Guilt is always personal. So long
as officials can hide behind their
corporations no remedy can be
effective. When the government
searches out the guilty men and
makes corporate wrongdoing mean
personal punishment and dishonor,
the laws will be obeyed."
Mr.. Roosevelt. who had no liking
for the doctrine of personal guilt, went
on by vociferation and denuhciation to
failure, panic and distress. The law
yer who took issue with him and who
refused to be a party to spectacular
proceedings against corporations only
had identified himself with an idea,
and that idea explains Harmon, ac-
counts for his present position and
supplies reasons for the faith of his
friends in his future preferment.
Harmon's idea, as the New York
World says, is personal responsibility.
He has adhered to it as the democratic
leader in his state. When Harmon was
asked to boss the convention now in
session he said that a man who was
to be honored by that body could not
dictate its course. When the president
unwisely said at Winona that repub-
licans who do not like Aldrichism and
Cannonism should vote the democratic
ticket, Harmon accepted the challenge
and in him that issue is personifed.
1t will be seen that Harmon is not
only a man of ideas but a man a.
character. He has a large republican
following. He is not a partisan.

the form of a species of jaguar never
held in captivity. This jaguar is of
tremendous size and coal black.
There are two rare birds in the Anna
zon forests whereof no specimens have
ever been brought away-the bell
bird" and the ''lost soul" These names
are derived from the effects produced
by the cries of the birds, the former
having a voice likened to that of a sill
yer bell and the latter possessing the
eerie accompaniment of grooming in
such a manner as TO produce goose
flesh on the unfortunate person who
hears its song.
The naturalistS will also vote an ex-
preston of heartfelt thanks TO the in
dividual who will fetch them from far
off Burma specimen of a rhinoceros
having a black hide and big. tufted
ears. No one has ever actually seen
this rhinoceroS: but. it is averred, white
men have frequently seen his hide.
New Zealand is a land of animal mys-
teries. The most popular of the rare
beasts whereof specimens are longed
for by the civilized world is a kind of
duck billed beast. No one seems GER
tain what it should be called. Darwin,
it is added, was always of the opinion
that some day a true lizard-bird-i. e.,
not a flying lizard. but a true missing
link between the birds and the reptiles
might be found in New Zealand

able material had been utilized. There
were substitutes galore, but the man
who had dropped out was one of the
two most important men of the crew.
To put any one in his place would be
to surely lose the race.
A few minutes before the crews
went out to the water 1 asked about
the substitute and was told that
freshman was to row. could not
learn how or why he had been chosen,
but, wishing to have a look at him, /
went down on to the float. The men
were getting into the boat. The sub
stitute's face was familiar to me, but
1 could not tell where had seen him.
Then suddenly it rushed upon me that
he was the man we had called Mr..
Stroke.
Had a freshman been smart enough
to sell us all out as a graduate of ten
years standing with a marvellous story
of which he was the central figure?
/ took a position where / could see
the race all the way and had with me
a powerful feldglass. Our crew took
the lead almost Immediately after the
start. / noticed when the crew got into
the boat the substitute took the place
of No. 6. All through the race l could
see that. while he did not appear to be
making Il herculean effort. he was do
ing splendid work. Our crew kept the
lead they had taken. gradually but
slowly drawing away from their COM
petitors. FFCyp a length ii grew TO two
lengths. then three lengths. and at the
finish the race was won by five and
half lengths.
Never had we been beaten by such
odds. | questioned the crew as TO how
it happened. for our adversaries had
made better time than ever before, and
was told that it was all on account of
the substitute. Every time he put his
oar in the water the boat seemed TO
move forward whether the rest of the
crew exerted themselves or not.

more about him. | made inquiries. But
it was at the close of the term, with
the summer vacation ahead. and / dis
covered nothing. Returning in the au-
tumn, l looked for him among the
sophomores. He was not to be found.
Some said he had not returned to col

went to the man who was responsible
for his acceptance on the crew and
found him disposed to hush the matter
up. He admitted 10 me that the pro-
ceeding had been irregular. that the
substitute had come TO him at the last
minute, begged hard TO be accepted
| and promised to win the race If allow
ed to pull. My informant said that he
had acted hastily. taking the mans
own representation that he was in col
Iege. OF course where there are sew

1t now occurred to me 10 examine
the college record of the man we had

lister and made inquiries about the race

Mine Disasters.

There is small excuse for the dread
full list of fatalities in mines. Last
year was the worst we have had except
1907. The 1913 deaths in Cherry Valley
are not included in the bulletin issued
by the government geological survey,
because the Illinois official year includ-
Ing that disaster has not yet expired.
But including that, the mine fatalities
In the calendar year 1909 were 1850,
and there were in addition nearly 5000
injuries. The coroner's conclusion re-
garding Cherry Valley was that the
laws of the state were violated with the
knowledge of the inspectors. 1t is true
of most of the mining disasters that
they are needless. We know as much
as they do in Europe, where fatalities
are only a quarter or a third as numer-
Gus as they are here.
The trouble with us is that we do not
enforce regulations and laws. Miners
are careless, and company agents and
state officials are negligent. The rigor-
pus enforcement of state laws and COM

The CataIpa Tree.

The catalpa tree is the SLOUGH of the
forest. 1t has a brief season Of beau
ty, but this outburst of charm is so ex-
ceedingly ephemeral when compared
with the long weeks and months when
it seems to be fairly reveling in litter
that the wonder is its presence is toler-
ated to the extent it has been in years
gone by. We believe it was Lord By
ron who once INDUCED in a few rhap-
sodicaI utterances over the catalpa
blossoms. but it is safe to say he never
had to clean up yard which was mar
red by the presence of one or more of
the trees or the sentiments expressed
would have been in other than poetic
vein.-Des Moines Capital.

The Republican Platform .

The eve of the congressional cam
paigns is at hand. 1t looks as if the
republican party proper will boldly at
tempt to bluff the American people on
these propositions:
That Aldrichism is a good thing for
the country.
That Uncle Joe" belongs to the
Abraham Lincoln tye of statesmen.
That the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was
the best tariff bill ever passed" and
is a God-send to the consumers.
That the expenditure of more than
double the sum used by Cleveland to
run the government is really necessary
for party solidarity"

What Democracy offers.

Here is the platfor m the average
democratic candidate for congress will
present to the people:
Lower duties on the necessaries of
life.
An income tax, that large part of
the burden of the cost of government
may fall upon those best able to bear it.
Reciprocity with Canada and our
best customers.
Repeal of section 2 of the Aldrich
act that forces tariff wars and retalia-
ton.
Election of senators by direct vote.
Old-time democratic economy in pub
lie expenditures.
Restoration of popular government
in the house of representatives

In the Blood.

Oh, is there not an honest man
In all this Doodle reign
Who will not sell his boots and soul
For low and sordid gain?
oh. yes, there is one here and there
In all the wide expanse-
The man is upright. straight and pure
Who doesn't get a chance!
This human nature we possess,
All from a common stock.
Acts in a way that really gives
Itself at times a shock.
One man is better than the rest
Until he gets a chance;
Then after some protests and doubts
He goes to join the dance.
II may be there may be degrees.
Some men pursue the chase.
And others wait till It is brought
And showed before their face;
But. whether better. whether worse,
Sin of the head or heart.
They're all put up as Adam when
He gave the world a start.
That being so-for so IL IL
In country or in town
Let's try TO help the world along
BY cutting chances down.

Would drain the froth and foam
Let's make them honest citizens
BY leaving them at home.
