Profits of the Money Trusts.

The Fifth Avenue bank of New
York. is accounted a Morgan in
stitution, being controlled by in
terests friendly to him. The other
day the bank declared the regular
quarterly dividend of IS per cent
and a special dividend of 1876 per
cent, both payable on July /. In
1910 the bank paid an extra divi-
dend of 100 per cent. In 1907 a
special declaration of $50 per cent
was paid out of earnings for 1906.
In 1908 the extra dividend was 100
and in 1909, 1875 per cent.
The years 1913 were the panic
years. 1t was in 1907 that Pa
triot" Morgan came to the defense
of his country, to save it from wide
spread financial disaster. In that
year the gross dividends were $50
per cent, and In 1913 26O per cent.

Courthouse Election, Sept. IL.

Monroe county will vote on a
100000 courthouse proposition
Tuesday, September IL. Petitions
from various localities, all outside
of Jackson township, were filed
with the county court Monday. The
proposition, it is generally believed,
will carry by an overwhelming ma
jority because the need of a modern
fireproof building is apparent to
everybody and because Monroe
county can afford to have what she
needs The only contest will be as
to which township will give the
largest per cent of its vote for the
proposition. - Paris Appeal.

Gentleness Wins.

Gentleness often proves more
effective with a man who is out of
temper than hot argument, harsh
words, or even force. The New
York Sun says that a coal cart was
delivering an order the other day
and the horse, after two or three eff
forts to back the heavily loaded
cart to the spot desired, became OBJ
stinate
The driver began to beat the ami
NAL, and this quickly collected a
crowd. He was a big fellow, with a
fierce look in his eyes, and the by
ISLANDERS were chary about interior
ring, knowing what would follow.
Il pity the horse, but don't want to
get into a row" remarked one.
I am not in the least afraid to
tackle hin" put in a young man
with Il long neck, but about the
time | get him down along will
come a policeman and arrest us
both"
The driver was beating the horse
and nothing was being done. about
it, when a little eight-year old ap-
preached and said:
Please, Mister"
Well, what yer want?"
IF you'll only stop I'll get all the
children around here, and we'll
carry every bit Of coal to the man
hole, and let rest while we're do.

The man looked around in diff.
dant way, but meeting with only
pleasant looks he began to give in
and after a moment he smiled anC
said:
"Mabbe he didn't deserve it, but
I'm out of sorts today. There zoe;
the whip. and perhaps lift on the
wheels will help him."
The crowd swarmed around the
cart, many hands helped to push
and the old horse had the cart t
the spot in one effort.

A Real Home.

never saw garment too fine for
man or maid; there never was
chair too good for a cobbler or a
cooper or a king to sit in; never a
house too fine to shelter the human
head. Elegance fits man. But do
we not value these tools a little
more than they are worth and
sometimes mortgage a house for
the mahogany we bring into it? l
had rather eat my dinner off the
head of barrel, or dress after the
fashion of John the Baptist in the
wilderness, or sit on a block all my
life, than consume all myself before
got to a home, and take so much
pains with the outside that the in
side was as hollow as an empty
nut. Beauty is a great thing, but
beauty of garment, house and furni-
ture art tawdry ornament compar-
ed with domestic love. All the ele-
gance in the world will not make a
home, and l would give more for a
spoonful of real hearty love than
for whole shiploads of furniture and
all the gorgeousness the world can
gather.-0. W. Holmes.

Jesus, the Carpenter.

If l could hold within my hand
The hammer Jesus swung,
Not all the gold in all the land
Nor jewels countless as the sand,
, All in the balance flung,
Could weigh the value of that thing
Round which his fingers once did
cling.
If could have the table he
Once made in Nazareth.
Not all the pearls in all the sea,
Nor crowns of kings or kings to be
AS long as men have breath,
Could buy that thing of wood he
made
The Lord of Lords who learned a
trade,
Yea, but his hammer still is shown
By honest hands that toll,
And round his table men sit down,
And all are equals, with a crown
No gold nor pearls can soil;
The shop at Nazareth was bare =
But Brotherhood was builded
there.

CIAL COLLEGE.
1t Has Made Good in Every Way,
and is Becoming a Power For
Good in the City's Welfare.

July 15 1908 just three years
ago today the doors of the Mober-
ly Commercial College were opened
to the public. Despite the opposi-
ton encountered at the opening of
the school, the growth of this insti-
ton has been rapid and substantial
During the three years of operation
hundreds of students have enrolled,
the enrollments up to the present
representing about 40 counties of
the state, and four outside states.
Its graduates are in good salaried
and responsible positions with
banks, law firms, railroads, etc, in
nine different states, and the thor
oughness of its work is attested by
the fact not a single graduate of the
school has failed to make good out
in the business world. The work is
so practical that the student COM
plotting its courses goes out into
business life with the assurance of
meeting the same propositions with
which he is made familiar in the
work of the school.
This college teaches the Byrne
Simplified Shorthand, the most sim
pie, legible and rapid system that
has ever been invented.
In the Commercial Department
the Byrne Practical Bookkeeping is
used. This is actual business from
the day the student enrolls till the
course is completed, making the
work interesting and insuring the
most thoroughly knowledge pos
sible
The furniture Of the school is of
the latest and most approved pat
tern, and the typewriter equipment
has been renewed turnout with the
latest style Remington Visible ma
chimes, making it the best equipped
school in the state. Nothing but
the best teaching talent has ever
been employed, and nothing is left
undone that will add to the stud
ents' comfort and convenience. The
school is filling a long-felt need, and
no one who is interested in a COM
mercial education can afford to
overlook the advantages to be
found here. Investigate their work
and be convinced. A catalogue of
the school will be furnished free to
any one interested. From Moberly

to make them.
In the official foreign colony In Washington the
Christmas holidays especially lively and JOY
season. The managers OF the American Dranch
offices of the governments of the world are ever
eager to show their patriotism and loyalty by ob
serving all HOLIDAYS or ceremonial occasions just
they would be observed If they were at home IN
their own countries. Consequently Christmas Is
the occasion for many diverse and picturesque
celebrations in the homes of the official foreign
colony There is scarce a household in the cos
mopoltan community that has not its quota or
children Many of the young people in these for
eign households are, for the time being, attending
American schools and have become imbued with
some of the traditions of the Yankee Christmas
Thus the yule-tide programs in many diplomatic
home at Washington presents an odd mixture OF
foreign customs and American innovations.
Especially is this the case In the homes OF many
of the diplomats from South and Central America
where there are many young people. These Pan
American juveniles exchange presents as do their
American playmates and await with keen anticipa
ton the proverbial Christmas dinner, but they also
show allegiance to the customs of their native
lands by attending mass at midnight on Christmas
Eve and afterward paying homage at miniature
representation Of the city OF Bethlehem. the most
conspicuous place in which is occupied by grot-
to in which are tiny figures of the infant Jesus.
and Joseph together with the three wise men. In
the homes Of the Mexican diplomats there is
followed a novel plan for the distribution Of the
Christmas presents. All the gifts placed in
huge earthenware jar which is suspended from the
ceiling and Is then attacked by all the young peo
pie armed with canes. When the jar is broken the
Christmas presents are precipitated to the floor
and there is mad scramble for the mysterious
packages.
The handsome new home OF the French Embassy
at Washington will this year afford spacious set
ting for Christmas frolic that has become one Of
the Important events Of holiday week at the cap
ital At the German Embassy likewise there is
Christmas tree with tokens for all the young people
in the Embassy circle. while the British Ambassa
dor entertains all the members Of his official staff
and their families at an oldfashiored English
Christmas dinner.
