bAuu9 10 advancing panhlnk anu CNll0lASs
legislation. a member OF the legislative
and the currency commission Of the
American Bankers association. I refer
to Arthur Reynolds Of Des Moines, Ia,
treasurer of the American Bankers asso-
citation. who is to address you tomor-
row"
Il give and bequeath the annual sum
of ten pounds, to be paid In perpetuity
out of my estate, to the following pur-
pose. II is my will and pleasure that
this sum shall be spent in the purchase
of certain quantity Of the liquor vul-
garry called whisky. and it shall be pub
licly given out that a certain number of
persons. Irish only, not to exceed twenty,
who may choose to assemble in the Gem
etery in which / shall be inferred, on
the anniversary OF my death, shall have
the same distributed to them Flrther,
II is my desire that each shall receive
II by half a pint at a time till the
whole is consumed, each being likewise
provided with q short oaken stick and
knife, and that they shall drink it all on
the spot. Knowing what I know Of the
Irish character, my conviction is, that
with these materials given, they will not

lief in his statements will induce you to
, trust him. This point is known as the
| physiological moment, because It is the
moment when the objective faculties have
no more to convey to the reasoning and
| subjective faculties, which then and there
analyze the impressions received. and
through the will. decide yes or no
marks for all kinds Of swindles and
sharp practices, the same kind over and
over again? II is not because they have
at their command money and are inclined
as a professional class, to be credulous,
and yet bankers are the constant quarry
and prey of human sharks and hawks
II Is becuse the average banker allows
his mind to become so warped by con-
temptation Of one line Of thought, that
his objective faculties predominant his
mentality and his acts are impulsive,
spontaneous and thoughtless.
who will presume to question or doubt
| the power OF the mind? Who can deny
the almost hypnotic power and inflence
Of strong dominating mentalities and per-
sonalities over weaker and less forceful
ones? We may observe instances by the
hundreds of bankers being induced to
| finance certain businesses and enterprises
whose intrinsic merits aloe would never
! justify conservative men in supporting
and fostering them We must admit that
personality, and / mean by personality,
the potential influence OF individualism,
has been the impelling force.

IF you will learn psycologically to
analyze the conditions Of the upward
! progress Of institutions and individuals,
| you will almost invariably find that the
reason is based on the solid foundation
built for that success by men who have
developed themselves by the study Of
| their fellow man. A man need not wear
long hair, look like a professor, speak
| like a pedagogue or act like crank to
be a student of human nature; he need
not have a high school education, or
much of any education, except what his
own observation and reflection have
given him, but he must cultivate and
maintain an individual personality and
the ability to instantly give a cordial
lhandshake and trusting word to the hon.
est man he meets, ad to disarm and cover
with confusion the scoundrel or I'M
scrupulous wretch, no matter how
smooth and suave he may appear"
Meet at EIl<s' Rooms.
The bankers are holding their meetings
in the Elks club rooms, with head
quarters for registration at the Rome
hotel AS a consequence the corridors
of both places are filled with numerous
statesmen for adding machines. filing de-
vices and all the other things which are
supposed to delight a bankers heart.
At the morning meeting the annual re-
ports of the treasurer and secretary, j.
B. French and William B. Hughes, were
read, showing the association to be in
a very satisfactory and sound condition.
A nominating committee and a resolu-
lions committee we're appointed by Presi-
dent Seymour during the morning. The
first committee will consist OF c. F. Nc
Grew Omaha; H. A. Redman, Hastings
E. r. Quincy, Fremont; c. e. Burnham,
Norfolk John D. Haskell, Wakefield.
The resolutions committee will consist OF
Henry w. Yates, Omaha; w. C. Springer,
Oxford; F. w Woods, Spencer W. A.

short Bankers Notes.
The program is an artistic little book
let from the press Of the official paper
Of the organization, The Western
Banker"
The methodical care OF a bankers
habits is illustrated by the elaborate
fashion in which registration is being
made at the Rome. Several stenog
raphers are busy putting registrations
into a card catalogue.
Every banker is identified by a LITTLE
green tag, which tells his name and
| where he comes from. The capitalized
stock of his band is not smblazonsd upor
his breast, however, and in several cases
appearances are deceltful.
The Elks. in their magnificent quarters
on South Fifteenth street, use an au
tomato elevator, which goes up and
down as the passenger push button
, ! II is almost human in its intelligence
but they decided not to trust II 10 the
tender mercies OF the state bankers whC
| might stand around waiting for the con
ductor, so a man was put in charge.
