business. but he could not. It was nearly noon when young Robards entered. He glanced at Schmidt, said Good morning" and went to his desk.
 Schmidt waited few moments and then. rising and throwing back his shoui- ders, marched over to the young man.
 "Is this true?" he asked, laying the morning paper before his partner.
 'What do you mean?" Richards inquired with some asperity.
 q mean this article that is in the pa per-
 Well" said the younger man with the suspicion of a tremor in, his voice, it fs my personal affair and does not concern you.
 '"Then 1t is truei" declared Schmidt.
 The other man arose in anger
 "What right have you to catechise me?' he returned. My personal affairs are my affairs, not yours. So far as this bank is concerned, you and I are associated on mutual ground. but outside of it our in- terests are not related. I will not tolerate your intrusion into my personal affairs - Schmidt looked down upon the younger man with scorn
 "Is it possible" he asked, that you a son of my dearest friend, should so dis honor his name. my name and the name of this bank as to be mixed up in this dirty scandal!
 At this the young man lost all control of himself
 How dare you talk to a gentleman in such a way-you, who were only my fathers porter, to talk to me about honorl"
 The old man smiled, though his face was very pale.
 "Yes," he said, slowly, "I came here as a porter, but it was honorable work. Even as I kept those brasses clean in the old days I have kept my name clean and I have kept this business clean. Every thing that I have made in money meas ures as nothing to my good name and the banks good name. This is the first time there ever has been a stain-and it will be the last one. You and I must part company today''
 The younger man gasped
 "Do you mean you are going 10 leave the bank?''
 Either you leave the bank or I leave it, said Schmidt. 1T will not be asso- ciated with a man whose name is dis honored."
 "Oh, you don't understand" said the younger man, suddenly panic-stricken by his partners deep seriousness This is only an affair with a woman Men get into these little troubles. My wife has been foolish to go and threaten divorce. That Is what brought the thing out in the papers. If 1t had not been for her insane jealousy this thing would never have been public. You cannot mean that you will let a, trifing thing like this affect the bank? You are old-fogyish in your no- tions and do not know the world.''
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-05

Say no more; there is nothing to dis- cuss,' said the old man with an air of finality. q may be old-fashioned, g you say, but prefer my old fashion to your new one" Then he named & figure at which he said Richards must buy his in- terest or he would buy Robard's. Rob- ards pleaded, argued, threatened. even wept. but Schmidt was implacabIe. T never have associated with dishon. orable men. and I shall not begin now" he said. Before business closes today your name or mine must come off that brass plate at the office door,
 Finding it useless to argue further. Robards at last announced that he would sell his interest to Schmidt. A lawyer was summoned, the papers drawn. the money paid over to the young man and a few minutes later Henry Robards left forever the bank his father had founded
 Then Schmidt busted himself for half an hour. Messages were sent to the metal workers, the sign painter, the stationer Orders were given that everything must be finished that day. The house of Rob- ards X Schmidt passed out of existence. The new house of Gustave Schmidt was born.
 When he had attended to this, Schmidt returned to his private office. He took his usual seat and tried to look over some papers that were awaiting his examina- ton. It was no use. He could not read the words that were written there. He sat motionless for 10 minutes. He thought of himself in the days when he polished the brasswork, of the days when he was clerk, of the days when he was man. ager, of the pride that was his when he became junior partner. And then he thought of the younger Henry. And as he thought he turned and glanced at the empty desk. Then he spread his arms upon his desk, laid his head upon them and sobbed.
 The next morning Gustave Schmidt arose at his usual hour. bathed and shaved, polished his shoes, brushed his clothes, rubbed up his hat and made his bed Then he went to the breakfast room and ate morsel of his usual food. He left just 20 minutes later. He walked down Broadway and greeted his friends as he met and passed them. He looked worn and sad. but he was almost as erect as ever
 He turned into Wall street and ap- preached the bank. In front of 1t he stopped. The name of Richards & Schmidt had disappeared Instead there was the name of Gustave Schmidt banker He went within, gave his usual careful scrut- ny to every detail within the bank, bowed his usual good morning greeting to the clerks, and proceeded to his desk
 Wall street, used as it is to sudden changes rubbed it's eyes as 1t looked at that altered sign. It was one of Wall streets nine days wonders-and then Wall street forgot it.

EVER BATHE IN ELECTRICITY
There Are Hundreds of New Devices
 on Display at London Show

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. London-"Miracles, London" should be the telegraphic address of the elec- tricity exhibition at Olympia. Electricity nowadays not only drives the mightiest turbines and engines, lights up the universe and propels million trans and trains, but it has been harnessed to such homely offices as cooking potatoes and cleaning boots. It can do everything except boil water economically.
 The nearest approach to perpetual motion yet discovered is shown on one stand it is tine 'iearth driven electric clock the invention of MT. r. A. Bent ley Burton on Trent watch and clock maker.
 This electric clock is driven by a power drawn direct from the earth, and once 1t is fixed it keps going until it's works wear out. It never requires winding, and it gathers it's own cleo trical energy without the use of the usual electric battery. which would re- auire periodical renewal
 Already one has run for 10 years without being wound or losing q min ute, and Is guaranteed to go until the cogs wear smooth.
 You can take bath in electricity at the radiant heat of 400 degrees Fahren- heit, although the ordinary capor bath becomes unbearing above 120 degrees. In this luxurious electric sun bath certain of the luminous rays penetrate the body. and have been found to be most beneficial. The cost is only a penny Y M
 A new electric light for drapers. shops which is on exhibition should be oon to women customers. A holo- phane glass shade over an electric globe fixed above the counter Aow gives such good imitation of broad daylight that the most delicate shades of ribbon can be matched with ahso- lute confidence.
 Among the many electric devices at , the exhibition are: Theater dim mers'' which give stage effects of sun rise. sunset aud moonlight; massage \ ,aei!nes, ,, knlIe polishers egg boilers. vacuum cleaners, hairdrying machines' b cleaning stands 1vasrs, r.st s. stroyers. >

ward the young man. Young Richards was light spirited, clever, lovable. He was content to have Schmidt do the work while he enjoyed life. He speculated little, but not much. He gave himself up principally to the delights of society.
 The bank prospered amazingly and for b years grew steadily in power, pres tige. wealth and importance, until IL came to be looked upon as one of the strongest in the street. Every morning schmidt arrived at the same hour He looked with pride at the great establish ment that. had grown up around thim. His keen eyes noted everything. If there was the slightest stain upon the window, the smallest blemish on the great metal sign at the door he was the first to mo- tice it. As he went through the long counting room he bowed to his employees, at the same time making an incredibly rapid inspection of the whole place. No clerk but knew it was utter fol,' to try to fool Schmidt. There was keenness In the mans scrutiny, a command of de- tail, inflexibility and a regularity of purpose about him that was command. ing. He had instilled some of his own methods of precision into each and every one of his employees. Schmidt was kindly and generous. but there was an atmos- phere about him that repelled any at tempt at departure from the straightest dealings, any looseness of conduct or ele- Vation.
 If Schmidt had one weakness 1t was his pride. He was inordinately proud of the reputation of the house. When re. ports came to him of the high regard in which the bank was held he was radiant Men who knew this one weakness of he man played upon it. Sometimes they got little more than they deserved by req son of 1t.
 Occasionally Schmidt chided young Ro- bards for not taking more active inter- est in the business. He held up to him the example of his father the man who

Every pound of rread Is equivalent to two tons of wat.r used by the growing grain, and a pound of beef is equal to from 30 to 30 tons of water, which the animal has consumtea directly or indirectly through it's food I can't tell exactly how much water each of you consumes in this way every year. put Ii you should eat 200 pounds of bread ana ZU0 pounds of meat you will have consumed altogether more than 400D tons UT water In one shape or other and this is without counting that which you use for drinking or bathing.
 Moreover, as We have more or less food We nave more or less water, and so. after all, 1t is water which regulates the eize oL uof bread basket. Dr. Geo. McCee save lil@l we nave an annual water supply big enosii lo make food for a billion people and he estimates that at the ci1rrent ~ata ,,. gL increase we VIII have that population in something like 300 years. This s,,,'. poses that all the waste be nronarlv .a,as lor' and that is what Congress- is n,ry asked to do. '''"
 Uncle Sam's Water Su,p!y
 Now let us look at the water sunnIy os the United States,
 Df. Willis Moore of the weather burao,, mas estimated that our annual rainf,u averages about 3O inches the United State. "Ner' me pest way to measure this is h,, acre feet-that is, by covering n car+ais, nuHlpef or acres with water one foot in uepth. The yearly supply measured that way would cover 5,O0e.e0o 0G9 acres whioh m area Is equal to 200 states the ,,izo of tlhlo, Virginia or Kentucky. or in .,oI,,,,a tr 10 Mississippi rivers running dav and night all the year through. All tbIs comes from the rain or snow which fo11s in one year.

other wells. It Is this that feeds the pants In great degree, and this that fur nlshes the larger part of our table sup ply. In some places this water is pumped up and used for irrigation and in others Ii flows on being tapped, and altogether 1t Is very valuable. Congress will be asked not only to conserve the forests mat they may act as a sponge to retain this underground water, but to hold it back in other ways.
 Regulating the Rivers
 These schemes of Uncle Sam for con- trolling the water supply embrace the whole United States They provide for the regulation of the flow of the rivers and of standardizing them. They pro- vide for great reservoirs along the Mis- sissippi, Ohio and Missouri. They treat or drainage and irrigation and of the de- Velopment of our water power They also include the making, by means of canals of great system of interior wa ter transportation, which shall supple ment our railways, and reduce freight rates to the merchant and the consumer. According to pr. McGee, the scheme means an annual saving in transporta- ton charges alone of more than three quarters of million dollars for every day of the year. annual saving in flood damages of s150,0O1,00O per annum, and saving in the washing away of our soils of S500,000,000 every year In addi- tion to this there will be an enormous profit from the water powers created, and altogether a mighty decrease in the cost of living should follow.
 Our Inland Waterways
 The plans for this development have been worked out in connection with the commission of inland waterways and with the bureau of soils of the agrieul- tural department. Senator Newlands and the committee of rivers and harbors have had the matter under discussion, and in time we will have a great waterway project which will add not only to the cheapening of all classes of freight and to the increase of our industries, but will be of enormous military advantage in the defense of our country.
 As far as waterways are concerned there are few countries which compare with the United States. We have coast line, which. if stretched out would, reach twice around the world and still leave 14,000 miles to spare. The Unit ed States shore line of the great lakes is half again as long as from New York to San Francisco. and the navigahle waters of our rivers, if they could be joined in one line, would form con- tinuous stream around the globe with e00O miles to spare. The Mis- miles of waterways which have a draft of six feet and our whole country is so cut up by streams that great system of canals and rivers could be made by which the heaviest
