turn to home port Davis was its mate,
having been promoted for bravery
when the ship caught fire. He made
two trips around the world.

tune which he lost when a big hotel
/ he built in San Francisco burned. His

have been published in nearly every
ma gaZine in America and Europe.

CORN CRIB BANK A FAILURE.
Loss of Christmas Savings Deplored
by Youthful Financier.

White Church, Kan, Jan. a.
Leonard Bailey, % years old, a farm
hand of White Church, Kan, never
had much confidence in ordinary
banks, SO when he had saved up $47.65
in dollars, quarters, nickels and dimes
he tried a bank of his own devising.
He put the money in a sack, sawed
out a couple of boards and buried it
under the corn crib floor. Now he
doesn't believe in banks at all, for
when he lifted up the boards Sun
day to withdraw part of his deposit
he found nothing but a hole.
I'll never get skinned out of my
hard-earned money like that" Bailey
told his father, after reading in a
newspaper about the failure of a saw
ings bank. .I'll find nice likely
spot and bury it,
On Christmas day his fathers other
hand" disappeared. Sunday morn
| ing Bailey wanted some money for
| New Years cheer and went to the
bank. He found it bare. Instead of
making his intended purchases he
went to the Office of James Meek,

BEHIND THE SCENES.

Herbert Knox Smith, commissions
er of corporations, has been delying
into the history of the tobacco trust.
Here are some of his findings:
In 1890 the trust had S25,000,-
600 capital In 1908. this capt.
al" had grown to 1000, o00,-
! A part of. this capital is listed
under the head Of good will
$14S,0o0.ooo, Whose good will is
not stated, but certainly not that OF
tobacco growers or tobacco users.
In 1885 one part of the trust, the
Duke Sons Company, was worth the
modest sum of s25o,0Oo. BY the
mere process Of Joining the trust it
swelled to sT,500,000 and later, was
treated to a further dose of So, 900
900 in securities. Yes, ana
earns 10 per cent. on that.
Now, what profits do you think
this little measly Duke proposition
of $4,000 has earned in %
years? Oh, matter of SIS. ooO, 900,
or 1890 per cent,

..Neneration" Gone Mad.

The Wall Street Journal has ven
GRAFTON for the court" gone mad.
James CT McReynolIs special assis-
tant United Settas attorney general
in the Tobacco trust case, recently
made the following statement in the
public press commenting upon the
tobacco trust plan of reorganization:
It's an old story to me And, speak
ing of course, only for myself, | re-
gard it as a plain subterfuge which
deserves an expeditions commitment
to the scrap heap"
Referring to Mr.. McReynolds, the
Wall Street Journal says: In Eng
land Mr. McReynoIis would be dis
barred for making such a statement
besides getting substantial sentence
in jail. The tobacco plan is before
the court, and Mr. MeReynolds has
