the banks had gained several million dol

ture Of the statement. taking the report
Of actual conditions as a basis. was an
expansion of $14,6i4. 100 in loans and q
corresponding increase of $14.J63 500 IN
deposits. The loan increase certainly
could not be traced to stock exchange
activity. since the market during the

this increase represented the effect OF

contention.
But 1t is a fair question as to wheth-
err England or the United States is the
guiltier of the two in this matter. One
thing is certain: There is no one in

The Prince of Wales Feathers.


When the Black Prince died he ordered
the badge of three feathers. with certain
words as motto. to be placed upon his
tomb at Canterbury. The words were
Itch diem, Houmont." The origin of the
badge is obscure. 1t is commonly sup
posed that the Black Prince took it from
the helmet Of King John Of Bohemia, his
prisoner, and thenceforth adopted 1t as
his own cognizance. Even as the pecu-
liar badge of the Prince Of Wales, how
ever, the history of the feathers is un-
certain. From the evident pride taken
in them by the Black Prince we may

When golf was becoming popular In
England the poor reporters who were
sent to describe golf matches were often
sadly at sea, and their bold attempts to
give an air of verisimilitude to bald
and unconventional narrative by the use
of technical terms which they did not
understand were often highly diverting.

Called It "Quivers."
The bag in which the golfer keeps his
clubs is called a caddie bag because it is
carried by the caddie. but the reporter
naturally enough imagined that If it was
called a caddie bag it must contain cad
dies. The late Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman got over the difficulty at the
opening of a golf bazaar by describing
the caddie bags as "quivers."
Another provincial correspondent Of a
London paper was responsible for the fol-

used in Scotland are "groser'' for ''groseii-

The First Woman County Treasurer
From HamDton's Magazine

AS in several other states in the Union,
women have occasionally held the office
Of county superintendent of schools in Ne
braska. but until Miss Jordan of Valen-
tine. the county seat of Cherry county, de-
cided to run for the position Of county
treasurer no woman had even dreamed of
running for a political Office of this nature.
Miss Jordan is a republican and, though
but thirty years Of age, had already
served for ten years as a deputy in the
office of the county treasurer. Last year
her superior resigned, and then a demo
crat was appointed to the position. In
the August primaries Miss Jordan was
nominated by the republican local organi-
zation for the ONCE Of treasurer.
Following the primaries. the campaign
began in earnest and the young woman
attended every public gathering possible.
