of the history and the worth of the

an adventure like that, with nothing
but the fumes of wine in his head!
For few pieces of gold he might
enroll under his shady banner three
or four shining lights who would un-
dertake the disposal OF Percival. Not

Ryanne consulted his watch, cheap
but trustworthy article, costing a dol

later in the day; for he had decided
that while he was In funds there would
be wisdom in the purchase OF fine

lucky enough to possess either. Many

What to do? mused the rogue. On
the morrow MIR. Jones would leave for
Port Said. Ryanne shook his head
and with his cane beat light tattoo

tion was rather out of hisssphere OF
action. And yet. the suppression of
Perclyal was by all odds the most i'm
portant move to be made. He had

not chuckle saturninely 1t was a
kind OF nightmare where one hung In

would be enormous. but these he
would gladly surrender for the su-

canting hypocrite, that SNUG church

cival Algernon, FOR no blame OF his
own, must be taken by the scruff Of

{, He had had vague plan regarding
Mahomed, guardian of the Holy Yhi-

to be in Cairo at this early date. That

never doubted. He knew the Oriental

Certain qualities go to the making
Of any human being whom other hui
man beings esteem. Certain ingredi-
ents are as necessary to man as
-four and yeast to bread or iron and
carbon to steel. You cannot make
them any other way. There is COM

breadth Of mind. kindliness, wholesome
common sense, justice, perhaps a flash
of humor, certainly capacity for the
task In hand that produces a worth

in every rank In life. You find 1t as

oftener, perhaps, in the field than In

A Russians First Encounter With
English In London.
A Russian tells a funny story of his
first encounter with the English Ian
guage.
The day after his arrival in London
he made call on friend in Park
lane and on leaving inscribed in his
notebook what he supposed to be the
correct address.
The next day, desiring to go to the
same place again, he called a cabman
and pointed to the address that he had
written down. The cabman looked him
over, cracked his whip and drove away
without him.
This experience being repeated with
two or three other cabmen, the Rus
sian turned Indignantly to the police,
with no better results. One officer
would laugh, another would tap his
head and make motion initiating the
revolution of a wheel, and 50 on.
Finally the poor foreigner gave it
up and with a great deal of difficulty
recalling the landmarks which he had
observed the day before. found his way
to his friends house. Arrived there
and in company with one who could
understand him, he delivered himself
Of severe condemnation of the cab
men and the police of London for their
impertihence and discourtesy.
His friend asked for look at the
mirth provoking address and the mys-

FIERY DRAGONS.
They spat Out Fury From Tongues
Barbed With Flame.


Dragons were important animals in
ancient and medieval natural history.
Until comparatively recent time no
scientist ever thought of questioning
the existence of this most formidable
of beasts. The annals of Winchester
for lit gravely state that lin this
year dragons were seen of many in
England" Gesner, professor of nat
ural history at Zurich, gave detail
ed description of the dragon. while
Aldrovandus in his History Of Ser
pents and Dragons" published in 1640,
devoted fifty pages to the monster
A good specimen Of dragon would
seem to have been beast about the
size Of sheep, incased in a coat Of
scales which shone like silver Its
back was serrated like saw. 1t pos
sessed a long tail. pair Of batlike
wings, four heavily clawed feet and
a wolvine head. the jaws of which
were armed with very formidable
teeth. The tongue was barbed with
fire, and fury issued from the mon
ster's mouth. and the head bore a
crest. Dragons were the most wicked
and indicative of creatures. They
seem always to have been In tow
ering rage and spent the greater por-
tion of their time in rushing up and
down the earth destroying everything
that came in their path.
The origin of dragons was disputed
point among medieval naturalists.
Some maintained that these animals
were generated by the heat of India.
Others were of opinion that the volca-
noes Of Ethiopia used to belch forth
the monsters. One scientist, John Leo
by name, declared the dragon to be a
hybrid, cross between an eagle and
a wolf

In the middle ages the cuckoo was
thought to be a god who took the form
of a bird. and it was sacrlege to
kill him. The Romans were less super
stitious and more practical They
caught him, killed him and ate him
and held no bird could be compared
with him for sweetness Of flesh.

LAKESIDE SIGNS UP.
The White City Is Now Fair In Every
Department Where Men Are
Employed.

On Friday evening of last week j. M.
Miller, who has a lease on the bar and
catering department at the White City,
signed contract with the Cooks, Wait
ers and Bartenders to employ none but
union men during the season. By the
settlement made the scale of the bar
tenders is raised 81 per day and the
Cooks and Walters will receive the last
years scale of wages.
Effort had been made to have the set
tlement concluded before Decoration
day, but through the obstinacy of Mr..
Miller this could not be done. On Dec
grafton day the bar operated with non
union men, and the management lost
many hundreds of dollars. The cafe did
not open. Friday the president of the
Trades Assembly, acting as the chair
man of the arbitration board of that
body at the instance of the business
agents of the three locals concerned,
called Manager Frank Burt by telephone,
and upon making an engagement went
tc the park that evening with Business
Agent Pollard of the Cooks, Business
Agent Vessel of the Bartenders and
Business Agent Mckee of the Walters.
After a conference lasting nearly two
hours the above settlement was made.
While the Walters made concessions IN
their demands, yet the settlement agreed
upon is the best that could be expected
considering the business conditions OF
the city.

The NIGHT q DAY BANK.

The merchants of Denver and vicinity
as well as officers OF trades unions,
| lodges and societies, and those whose
business requires them to keep their
shops open in the evening, are to be con-
graduated upon the successful launching
| of banking institution in the heart of
the business centre of Denver in which
they are enabled to transact their bank
| ing business both early and late.
| The usual custom of requiring depos-
itors to accommodate themselves to the
hours fixed by banks has been matter
of decided inconvenience to many busi-
ness men, who for a long time past nave
felt the necessity of a bank for the ac-
commodation of those who DO business
after as well as before o'clock IN the
afternoon, a convenience which has now
been obtained.
The Night and Day Bank is located at
1884 California street, its doors are op-
ened every business day at o'clock in
the morning and remain open until
O'Clock in the evening, thus affordins Its
depositors an opportunity to transact
their banking business in the morning
on their way to business or on their way
home at night as occasion and saiety
may require.
The Night and Day Bank has been do
ing business for two weeks past with
very gratifying results, and the nuhoer
of it's customers is increasing daily,
which must necessarily continue as 1t
becomes more widely known.
The safety deposit vaults OF the Night
and Day Bank are the very best that the
ingenuity of man has been able to create
and cannot be surpassed.
Mr.. L. L. Parson, cashier OF the Dank,
is in constant attendance and will be
glad to welcome those interested in this
new enterprise and talk it over.
| The officers of the Night and Day BANK
are:

sons cashier; e. T. Dufey, assistant
