John Wesley's AscetIc Life.

During the whole of his residence In
Georgia Wesley slept on bare boards
and fed on the plainest vegetarian
food-as a rule on bread. He drank
neither wine nor beer His first act
on landing was to smash the rum

his comrades-all members OF the
Holy Cuba vow of abstinence. No
trace can be discovered of a single
day or hour given to recreation. All
his reading, his conversation, his
writing, even in the grammars and
catechisms he compiled. were relig-

at the big house on the bluff where

an anthill with men swarming up its

Before I could start for the scene
two men came into the telegraph Of

Bob started laboriously filing out a

On the afternoon before, Monday,
while the Traders bank was in the
rush of closing hour, between two and
three, Mr.. Jacob Trautman, president
OF the Pearl Brewing Company, came
into the bank to lift q loan. AS Sc
curity for the loan he had deposited
some 800 International Steamship
Company SIS, in total value $4,000 600.
Mr.. Trautman went to the loan clerk,
and, after certain formalities had been
gone through, the loan clerk went to
! the vault. Mr.. Trautman, who was
a large and genial German, waited for
a time, whistling under his breath.
The loan clerk did not come back.
After an interval, Mr.. Trautman saw
| the loan clerk emerge from the vault
and go to the assistant cashier; the
two went hurriedly to the vault. A
lapse Of another ten minutes, and the
assistant cashier came out and ap-
preached Mr.. Trautman. He was no

Trautman was told that through an
oversight the bonds had been mis-
placed, and was asked to return the
following morning, when everything
would be made all right.
Mr.. Trautman, however, was q
shrewd business man, and he did not
like the appearance of things. He
left the bank apparently satisfied, and
within 80 minutes he had called up
three different members of the Trad
