How Head Of the Savannah Branch
Forced Stranger to Carry Away
100000 In Silver and
Checked Plot.

The most famous president of the
United States bank, which President
Jackson forced out of business, was
Nicholas Biddle of Philadelphia. who
after being a director of the bank for
a matter Of four years, became it's
president in 1928 and remained in that
post until the bank went out of bust
ness in 1886.
Nick" Biddle, as he was known to
his associates both in finance and So
C!ety-he was member of Philadel-
phla's exclusive set-kept a firm grip
upon the affairs of all the branches of
the United States bank from his desk
in the banks headquarters in Phila-
delphia. He " as very careful to get
reports from the branches regularly
and as speedily as the mail facilities
Of the time could deliver them to
him, and he studied these reports with
minute care.
One day he noticed that a report
from the Savannah branch did not
show the average redemption of bank
notes, and each subsequent report
showed constant failing off in re
demptions, so that Mr. Biddle became
very much disturbed At last he said
to himself: There's going to be trou-
Bile of some kind at that branch.
Somebody is collecting Savannah
branch bank notes and they may Of
fer them all of sudden for redemp-
ton. But l will see to that" There
upon he caused a large amount of sill
yer money to be collected and shipped
to Savannah. Then ne waited.
A few weeks after the silver had
reached the Savannah branch
stranger called at it and stated that
he had some bank notes which he
would like to have redeemed at once
in silver. He was asked what was
the value of the notes. 1.-TWO hundred
thousand dollars" he replied.
Very WE'LL" said the official of the
bank, who was acting under instruc-
tons from President Biddle, bring
your bills here so that we can count
them" Whereupon, the stranger pro-
tested at the delay What" exclaimed
the bank official. you surely do not
think we are going to redeem notes
until we have counted them and seen
that the amount you give us is right?"
So the stranger went away, returning
speedily with a hand barrow filed
with notes, and all the rest of the day
the bank force was occupied in count
ing them.
That task over at last, the manager
OF the branch turned to the stranger.
The amount you stated is correct,
Sir" and your silver is ready. Can
We help you in sending it anywhere"
You've got the silver here?" gasp
co the stranger. You're going to pay
me In silver on the spot?"

HotO "GiIded Age" Was Done

agreeing to meet Mark Twain every
morning for an hour or two so that
together they could write a new story
somewhat on the lines of Innocents
Abroad After they had been at work
on their little joke for a little while
they became thoroughly interested In
it. and then, when Mark Twain pro-
posed to introduce the character of
Colonel Sellers in the story, both he
and Mr. Warner grew actually en-
thusiastic over it, and their wives CON
fessed their deep interest in it as it
was read to them as the writing pro-
crossed.
so the jest was carried on until
the story was about half finished, if
| remember correctly, when it sudden
ly occurred to Mark Twain that it
might be worth publishing; T. it in
terested the wives Of the authors, it
ought to interest the public. There
fore, Twain approached his publish
ers and told them that he and Mr..
Warner were jointly writing a book,
and he wondered whether he could
make arrangements with them to pub
fish it, They jumped at the PROPOSE
ton The book was published under
the title of The Gilded Age, it sold
beyond all expectation for a while, and
then, suddenly, the sales stopped. It
is the one dead failure among Mark
Twain's works Yet a sufficiently
large number of copies were sold by
subscription to repay the cost of man
ufactuTe and return some profit to the
joint authors and the publishers.
Later, however" continued Mr..
Hubbard. Mark Twain made a tidy
sum out of the dramatic rights Of the
book. About the time that the book
was to be published he suggested to
Mr.. Warner that he would buy what.
ever dramatic rights that Warner
might have in the work. The idea aD.
pealed to Mr. Warner, and have al
ways understood that Mark Twain
paid him $4,000 or thereabouts for his
share of the dramatic rights and with
that money Mr.. Warner was able to
make a long winter tour through
Egypt. AS for Mark Twain, he made
thousands IN royalties out of the play
based on his utterly dead book"

He Posed as Prince of Wales

anxious to get glimpse of the fu-
ture ruler of England. Through 1t all
the prince was very affable and ac-
commodating; be was always ready
to step to some conspicuous place
upon the upper deck of the steam
boat and courteously acknowledge
the salutes and cheers which came
to him from the shores.
Some miles before the boat reached
Poughkeepsie there was brought
aboard it by special messenger a
pouch Of mail for the prince He had
| not heard from home for some time
and he was anxious to read the let
ters; you must remember that the At
lantic cable, though laid, was not
working at the time So, taking the
heavy mail with him, the prince went
into the pilot house and soon was
deeply immersed In his letters. He
was still reading when we arrived at
POughkeepsie, where it seemed as
though the entire city and all the peo-
pie for miles around about had turned
out TO greet him.
Hastily, word was carried to the
prince that an enormous crowd, COW
ering the steamboat dock and stretch
ing away back to the foot Of the hill,
was anxious to give him the tribute OF
| their good wishes. But, as luck would
have it, he was in the midst of peru
sing an especially important letter and
was not willing to be disturbed
Therefore, stepped to the railing OF
the boat upon the upper deck, to give
some intimation to the crowd that the
prince was in retirement, when, Of a
sudden, | discovered that the people
below me had taken me for our dis
tinguished guest. They set up a great
cheering, hats were thrown in the air,
women clapped their hands and waved
their handkeTchiefs-e eye was
fastened upon me.
What could | do? I could not tell

But as soon as the prince had fin

the deck, related to him how I had
been mistaken for him And the
story amused him greatly-not IN the
sense that ii was an absurdity that
should be taken for him, which II
was. nevertheless, but because he
seemed to see in his minds eve a
