Life in the Great Banking House
of J PierpOnt Morgan & Co.

drink lot of water Mr.. Lamont is
the milk drinker.
Mr. Morgan's desk is at the south
ern end and on the Broad street side of
Le main room of the big banking room.
From where he sits he can see out of
his left eye everyone that enters the
main door of the Stock Exchange,
while with his right eye he looks d.
rectly at George Washington standing
on the pedestal before the Subtreas-
ury.
1t is a sight to see Mr.. Morgan die
tate to Mr. King. The banker is never
lost for a word or a phrase. He chops
out his sentences at speed of about
$50 words a minute. When he talks
his whole face works. His cheeks
move, his jaws go up and down, the
ekin on his forehead rises and falls and
his mustache is in constant agitation.
Most men use only few muscles in
conversation, but Morgan uses a lot
Usually MIR. Morgan is in his office
only few hours a day. When he gets
up to depart 1t generally takes him Is
minutes to go from his desk to the out
err door. The young partners have a
lot of questions to ask him. They head
him off much as football players head
off the man with the ball. Sometimes
they back him over into a corner, and
he sits in window seat. 1t is only
for few minutes, and then he gets up
and starts for the door again, only to
be headed off once more by one or two
other members of the firm.
Two newsboys serve the House of
Morgan One comes every afternoon
about $3.50 O'Clock, makes the rounds
of the private offices and then the
rounds of the general Offices. He de-
livers between as and so pepare in this
one bank, The partners and the clerks
have a catholic taste, for there is not

livered in the Morgan establishment.
This newsboy, who is about 35 years
cid. has been delivering papers there
for more than 10 years. Until recently
he had a monopoly. Now one other
newsboy comes in every aftern oon.
He delivers his paper to one of the
junior partners. This junior partner
is faithful to his old newsboy friend,
and that is the only reason why the
newspaper monopoly has been broken
in the House of Morgan.
There are no women employees in
the Morgan Banking House. This is
one of the few Wall street establish
ments which the petticoated person of
business has not invaded.

While Boys GiggIe

Marshalltown, Ia, Nov. 25.-Because
bevy of high school girls, intending
to play joke, went to school wearing
hosiery of a gaudy pattern, thirteen
IF them were politely excused from the
school room and sent home to change
them for shades of less pronounced
hue.
Shades of green, embellished with
Cd rose; reds with and without black
Okla dots; broad stripes that ran
horizontally, and stripes that ran the
other way all entered into the dis
play.
Teachers say that the giggling OF
tie boys and the conversation among
the girls of more sedate tastes threat
ened to disorganize the school, so they
had to dismiss the thirteen. Each Of
the girls who fell under the ban was
given a tardy mark and zero" in the
classes they missed while making the
change in hosiery.

all was. You see. my husband knows
the superintendent of this district
real well. They go down together on
the 7:45 train real often. So he'll just
fix 1t up at headquarters. The idea
Of not being able to phone to ones
own child in city of this size!"
Mrs. Brill nodded emphatically at
Mrs. Graves, who had gone back to
hunting dandelions. Though osten.
sibly talking to the woman two doors
away, she directed her next remarks
straight to Mrs. Graves, whom she
considered more or less party to the
misdemeanors of the city school, be-
cause Mrs. Graves had once taught in
them.
That's just It," declared Mrs. Brill.
Nov, in Splashville, where my sister
teaches, you can phone to anyone in
any school at any time about any
thing. That's how it should be. Sup
pose somebody should die suddenly, or
break an arm or something. You
couldn't get word to the child in any
way here"
Mrs. Graves answered the accusa-
ton as she picked up the mutilated
dandelions preparatory to going into
the house. surely, every kind of mes
sage should be given and to every
one Of the thousands CT youngsters in
the schools just because some one
might die some time. 1t would take
several clerks just for that and the
classes would be continually dis
turbed, but what of that?"
Well" pouted Mrs, Brill, what do
we pay taxes for?'

QUITE LIKELY
SAVANNAH WORKING FOR IT
Believe Democratic Congress
Will Grant 1t

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 25.-It is nc
secret that the lawyers of South Geor-
gia have been looking forward to the
creation of new judicial circuit of
the United States court and while Con-
gresham Clayton was here they took
up the matter with him in an informal
way. Hon. Henry d. Clayton is chair
man of the judiciary committee OF the
lower house of congress- He is thor
oughly conversant with this matter
and when referred to him, Mr.. Clayton
admitted that Alabama had three judi
and that Georgia was possibly entitled
to as much.
The bill may be introduced at the
present session OF congress and if car
ried out would give the state the north
ern circuit, with Atlanta as the center;
middle circuit, with Augusta and
Macon and Alany as the larger cities,
and a Southern circuit, including Sa-
vannah, Brunswick, Waycross and
cambridge and Valdosta. For the
sake OF legal convenience the middle
circuit, where Judge Speer now pre-
sides, might have to be named the
Southern circuit still, and the Savan-
nah circuit could be called the South
eastern. This would provide for an adj
miralty Judge II the bin were intro
duced at this session it would hardly be
passed before the next session of con-
gress when the judge and officers
would probably be appointed by the
new administration. OF course, the de-
tails of the bill were not discussed
with Mr.. Clayton. These would have
TO be agreed upon after discussion by
members of congress and United
States senators from Georgia. There
would be very little chance at the
short session of congress for the pas
sage of such bill Still it is being
talked about. AS a matter of conyen-
fence. the Judge and district attorney Of
the new circuit must probably live in
Savannah and be selected from the
members OF the bar here.

MAY SAVE forest
near NATIONS
CAPITAL CITY
AS A GREAT PUBLIC PARK
Would Lie Between Baltimore
and Washington

baltimore, Md, Nov. 25.-Ambassa-
dor lanes Bryce, of Great Britain, ad-
xocated strongly the establishment OF
tho nroposed national forest reserve IN
.bo territory living between Baltimore
and Washington in the course OF an
address made before the American O.
vic association here.
"A great deal of lovely forest land
still exists between Baltimore ana
Washington" he said. Some of it Is
of second growth, but even in that
there is a great number of fine trees,
baltimore. Philadelphia and Washing
ton are all growing cities. What could
be better than to secure a large park
of this forest land, to be presented for
ever to the public, as represented par
ticularly in the population of these
cities.
when we wish to enjoy nature we
don't want to go out in automobiles;
what we want is to make excursions
into nature, to go out into the country
early in the morning and spend the
dav in wandering at will through the
delightful solitude of the forest. That
is the best sort of refreshment that
men in cities can enjoy. There are
other values than dollars and cents.
my excuse is that the world will
last a long time. We must provide
for the future. The population is in
creasing faster in North America than
any other country in the world; the
taste for nature is increasing. The
places of natural beauty, however, are
not increasing but diminishing There
fore, we must save what we have"
Mr.. Bryce spoke on the general topic
of National Parks-The Need of the
Future" He began by stating thar,
vast as was the United States, 1t was
| moving toward that state of dense pop
~slation which now constituted one of
the big problems of Europe. He dis
cussed the national parks of this coun-
try, which, he said, were copied by 9TH
er nations and suggested that an ad-
ditional park should be set aside in
the Rockies and that one should be
established in the Southern Alleghen-
les.

Have Stenographers Best
Training For Married Life?

Cupid tapped three times with his
bow on the hollow trunk of tree. II
was a signal for the next division OF
working girls to show proof why their
calling developed the best wives, and
before the sound had died away thou
sands upon thousands of stenographers
were marching in line.
They had chosen for their spokes-
man Mrs e. G. Peyser, assistant prin-
cipal in one of New Yorks best-known
schools for teaching shorthand, and
their choice did them great credit.
With the click, click, click of thous-
ands Of typewriters furnishing a har-
monious accompaniment, Mrs. Peyser
set forth the claims for matrimony OF
the girls she represented
Business" she said, develops girl
along practical lines. And no calling
is better qualified to bring out the
qualities that make a good wife than
that of the stenographer,
The work of stenographer teaches
her the value of accuracy, efficiency
and attention to details, which will
all be of the greatest assistance to her
in the economic side of home life.
"She has daily opportunity to study
human nature, particularly masculine
human nature. She learns what man
is in his own element-business; and
she begins to understand life from a
mans viewpoint. which will enable her
to sympathize more intelligently with
her husband in all his problems.
She must learn also, If she would
be successful, TO be patient, self-con-
trolled and self-reliant; tolerant Of
others who have not acquired these
things, and diplomatic and tactful with
all. The advantage of such training S
obvious. A woman is not only better
equipped wife, but more agreeable
social companion, by reason of it,
"The stenographer learns the value
of personal neatness and of making
herself at all times as attractive as
possible Husbands, as well as en-
ployers, are pleased by reasonable at
tention to such matters.
"stenographers, as a class, are some
times criticised, but always unjustly.
Statistics prove that the good and bad
are divided in that profession as they
are in any walk of life; in business or
In the home. l have known many girls
when they entered the A. B. C's. of
shorthand, and have followed them till
they reached positions Of prominence
in business life, or were happily mar
ried, and can say that stenographers
may lay claim to a larger percentage
of personal morality than women in
many other lines of business.
THE special attachments that every
woman must have who makes good as
a stenographer, together with the APP
probation of what time and dollars
mean, come to any woman as result
of business experience"

New York, Nov. 25.-J. Pierpont Nor
gan has the Caesarion objection to
lean and hungry men. All of his
partners and nearly all the employees
in his great bank at Broad and Wall
streets have their bones upholstered
with flesh. He likes to see a mans
chin. Nearly everybody in the bank
has a smooth-shaven chin. In that
treasure-house, there are some good,
strong chins..
For man of his age Mr.. Morgan
has remarkable eyesight, When he is
at his desk he rarely has to put on
his glasses to read letters or printed
matter. He holds the sheet about i9
inches away. He is very rapid reader
and he reads through his correspond
ence at high speed. For many years
he has had the same stenographer,
James Webster King, Mr.. King is
English, white-haired, about So years
old, quick of speech and quick of foot.
He occupies a desk in the outer office
among the rest of the clerks, but he
has a private Office upstairs. When
Mr.. Morgan wants to dictate anything
King hops down from his stool, march,
es into the chiefs room, lays his note
book on the top of Mr. Morgan's rose
wood desk and the banker fires away.
Mr.. King has another stenographer, a
man about 25 years old, to assist him.
Most of Mr. Morgan's letters are redic-
tated by King to this second stenogra-
pher, but the private and personal mat
tiers are handled entirely by King.
Persons who have an awesome no
ton of the banking house of this great
man, Morgan, have a surprise when
they go in there. 1t is remarkably
democratic institution. There's heap
of smoking. Mr.. Morgan has a cigar
between his teeth most of the time. On
the desk of every partner there is a
shaped stone affairs common to Ger
man restaurants or beer gardens.
There is nothing fancy about the
matches. They are cheap, have plenty
of wood in them and furnish good
flame
At regular intervals through the day
a soft-footed, mild-looking colored man
makes a tour of the private offices. He
bears tray on which there are doz-
en- or more glasses of water and one
glass of milk. He goes in turn to the
desk of each of the partners, puts
down a fresh glass of water and takes
away the glass that has been standing
on the desk, whether 1t is empty or
not. Nearly all the Morgan partners

swell, wouldn't that make you
tired!" called Mrs. Brill as she came
out on her back porch and slammed
the door sharply behind her.
Her neighbor. Mrs. Graves. looked
up in surprise, for Mrs. Brill was Of
a most unruffied demeanor ordinarily.
Sitting back on her heels in the
grass, she abandoned her pursuit Of
dandelions long enough to inquire
alphabetically, What would?"
Mrs. Brill's prettily frilled dust cap
fairly stood on end with indignation.
I've been trying to get Raymond's
school by telephone for at least half
an hour. You know my sister and her
little boy are coming up for the day.
and, of course, Raymond wants to
stay at home. Well, he's in the en-
tertainment next week and l wanted
day and l wanted to find out about
his costume. But do you suppose l
could get that school? No. indeed!
And tell you, Mrs. Graves, the phone
service we have here now Is some
thing awful There is phone at the
school, for saw it one day. There is
no number in the book and all
could get out of those girls was We
have no record tell you our I'M
provement association ought to get
after the phone service instead of
putting up any more fancy street
lamps"
Now, Mrs. Brill" expostulated the
woman two doors away, who had sus-
pended operations on her clothesline
to listen and who stood dropping
gracefully over the fence and rafting
the clothespins in her apron pocket.
1T isn't the fault of the telephone at
all; it's the schools, or the school
board, or something. Listen to what
happened to me the other day.
Il wanted to go down town early
and get at the sales before the bar
gains were all picked over" related
the woman two doors away. Il hur-
ried so that forgot to take the pigs
feet off the stove that were cooking
for my husbands supper. He likes
them once in while and they have to
be fixed just SO in order to suit him.
These were awfully nice ones and
wanted to cook them as long as posi-
BILE. On the car remembered that
hadn't removed them, but the gas was
turned low, so they couldn't burn very
soon. Well l hurried to the nearest
phone to call up Bobbie at his school
and tell him to run over at recess time
and turn out the gas
But do you suppose got any sat
isfaction? Well, didn't. Oh, was
mad! Here l had planned on those
sales for month, you know, to get
some furniture and hangings cheap
for the porch. I didn't half look at
what they had, just bought some
things in hurry and then rushed
home. I was hardly in time either, for
those pigs feet were scorched.
Then my husband got mad. You
know, John is awfully particular about
what he eats. And | had to send the
furniture back because it wasn't at all
what wanted"
She paused a moment for breath
and to enjoy the sympathetic com
ments of her neighbor. Then, with
coquettish toss of her head. she con-
tinued: well. just told John how It
