Window learned something Of the IN
side OF bank management The bank
where our informant had been en-
ployed for many years, It seems, had
passed through two or three conSoli-
dations. With each consolidation our
friends position had been made less
financially attractive, while the
amount Of work that was required In
his particular department was nOcOs'
sarily much increased. In this bank

Of the hundred or moro clerks must

In the old days the president Of this
bank received $4,000 per annum. To

year and has two or three vice-prOSi-
dents to aid him. These Vico-prOsi-
dents have annual salaries ranging b.
tween $4,000 and $1,000. AZ will DO
seen, the emoluments Of the banks
officers have more than doubled with
the increase in the banking business
transacted by the institution, while
the clerks have been obliged to meet
the increased cost Of living on salaries
that are the same as or less than they
were some years ago.
This case is perhaps fairly typical
Of modern banking methods. One
clerk, with a wife and yearly stipend
of $3.50, not long ago had the mis-
fortune to require an operation Tor
appendicitis. The bill Of the oporat'
Ing surgeon was for $50.
And yet banking positions are Gag

Verify, the farmer is having
trouble this spring and lots of it.
He can not get in the fields yet
to plow, and his chances of an
oats crop have gone glimmering.
He is going to be late getting in
his corn crop, too. But perhaps
if the growing season is long
enough he will be able to get a
good crop, providing, always, the
growing season has the right sort
of weather. But things will shape
out all right in long run. They
always have.

Muscatine, March 22.--Capturing
with his hands monster 60-pound
catfish, J. S. Hoffman yesterday after.

largest of the finny tribe corralled in
this city this year. The fish was cap

his daily wont for some time, was
walking along the shore Of the Mis-
sissippi river directly above the city.
The big fish was heard splashing in
the waters of shallow pool, a few
feet from the bank OF the river. Reach
ing into the water, he caught 1t by
the tail. pulled it to shore and took It
home to Mrs. Hoffman.
