BUSINESS DIPLOMACY.

Cost One Bank

THE making of rules for the carry

York banker declared recently. Here
Is an illustrations:
"One of the depositorS in my con.
Germ had saved many years. His bank
book, tattered and yellow, was full to
the last lines with entries that ex-
tended practically since his wedding
day. And when the time came that
he must take out new book he asked
TO save the old one.
Sorry the teller said, but it's a
rule of the company that when a new
book is issued we must take up the
old one.'
s'Bnt you don't understand the de,
positor argued That old book Is
nothing to you. 1t is worth whole
lot to me. Many's the night my wife
and | have sat up with that, looking
over the entries. planning for the flu
ture when all the additions we had
planned would be made in it. We've
seen our little account grow from SIC
to 500, from 500 to $1,000 His

answered, and the man turned away.

WOMEN OF FRANCE.
fhey Are the Bosses Even Though the
Men Won't Admit II,

they Are the Bosses Even Though the
Men Won't Admit II.
The women of France have been de-
scribed as the backbone of the French
nation. The remark applies more to
the middle class than to the aristoc'
racy The bourgeoise, truly helpmeet
to her husband, is in fact more often q
manager and as a rule efficient in that
capacity. 1t is she who carries on the
little shop, while her husband, perhaps
nominally the head, runs errands at
her bidding. Not that the Frenchman
would admit that; nevertheless 1t is the
truth. 1t may be, too, that he has bust
ness interests elsewhere as well. Thus
he may work for the railway or for
some other enterprise.
In Paris one enters an attractive lit
tie picture or jewelry shop on the Rue
lie Rivoli. A smiling Frenchwoman
comes forward to eajole the tourist into
buying all sorts of fascinating things
he really does not want. 1t is the same
Mt the shops where are sold kodak
supplies and postcards-not a man to
be seen except as purchaser.

DR. anything of that sort, there may be
a man, the proprietor probably, to hunt
for just what is desired, but even then
his wife sits at the desk. guarding the
money drawer and keeping a close
watch over all that is happening.
Likewise at the butchers madame
sits in state at the receipt of cash
The case is the same at the gFocer's
where she gives out change and keeps
the accounts. No more hireling is to be
trusted with such weighty matters,

POOR BUSINESS.


Writers of the good old fashioned
stories which pointed moral to the
effect that virtue is it's own reward
and that punishment follows in the
wake of evil doing could find ample
material for stories of this kind in
the columns of the daily press in these
strenuous days, says the Atchison
Globe. Every day finds the news sto-
ries, interspersed with accounts that
could have the latter moral attached
to them and there are many in which
the former or at least it's converse ap-
plies.
For instance last week, bold BAN
dit boarded Kansas City Southern
train, robbed passenger of $1,000,
engaged in pistol duel with his VIC
tim and dropped off the train only
to become the object of man hunt
in which the police officers of Kan
sas City and the county police of
that section are engaged. This ban
dit was far more successful than the
usual robber who prefers to make his
living in violation of the laws of God
and man but even his success amounts
to little. One thousand dollars is
good pay for the time that the robber
consumed in acquiring it but the same
energy and nerve dispayed in some
legitimate pursuit would have brought
him n far hi0per rasult
There would have been no bullet
wounds to nurse without proper med
ical attention, there would have been
no fear of detection and there would
have been no remorse for an attempt
on the life of a fellow creature. Con-
sidering the chances taken and the re-
suits accomplished, cracking safes and
holding up trains from a financial
point of view rank several degrees be-
low working at day labor.

RACE NOT COLOR.

Lester Walton, managing editor of
the New York Age, negro paper,
makes protest against the use of
the word NEGRO" in reference to
the people of his own race unless it
is capitalized He urges that the use
of the word as a proper noun would
refer to the race rather than to color.
He asks, why not refer to the Ne
gro as race of people and not with
regard to the color of ones skin
Then the term would embrace blacks,
mulattoes and all of mixed parent
age; for there are millions who are
of various shades of brown; there are
millions who are mulattoes and near
mulattoes, and there are thousands
who are as white as any Caucasian.
To classify these people as black
would be as improper as to classify
the whites as blacks. Green is not
red, nor can you make brown or fellow
black. But in the grouping you can
put the black, mulatto, near mulatto
and near white under one head-Ne-
gro. As matters now stand, a mu-

"An example of the workings of our
beautiful immigration laws" says the
New York American, "is the case of
Annie Hof, German servant who has
been ordered deported. Her eight
months old baby, an American citizen,
must stay behind, motherless, home
less. and a charge of the community.
The solemn interpreters of the law in
the immigration office decided that
because the mother bore a child out
of wedlock she must necessarily have
been brought here for immoral pur-
poses. With mothers desperation
she begged to be allowed to work as a
servant, to scrub, anything at all for
her child. But, having no money, she
was obliged to go. To her entreaties
that she be permitted to take her
child her superconscientious tormen-
tors turned deaf ear. Take from

A universal Christian church" in
which all Protestant sects shall be
united, is the church of the future,
and rapid strides toward the accom-
plishment of such an ideal are being
made, according to statements by the
Rev. Junius B. Remensnyder, pastor
of st. James Lutheran church, New
York city, who preached the synodi-
cal sermon at the opening in Atchison
of the forty-fifth biennial convention
of the general synod of the Lutheran
church. The Rev. Mr. Remensnyder
is president of the synod. The Herald
believes more could be accomplished
under one general head than through
SO many church agencies. Men and
women who might be induced to join
single-headed religion remain un-
decided when they study the different
creeds and routes to heaven. And it
is certain far more good would re-
suit if both home and foreign mis-
sions were carried on through one uni
ted church organization.

affairs in excellent condition. Over
work and too close application to busi-
ness l-ought on his illness some
months ago, and while he would oc-
casionally give evidence of improve
ment, it was of but brief duration
and he would again decline into a
state of depressed spirits and physi-
cal weakness.
Disappearing at about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon he was never again seen
alive. He chose an out CT the way
shed on one of his farms as the place
in which to end his imaginative trou-
bles and his body was not found un-
til 10 o'clock this evening.
The effect of his death has sad
dened the county beyond the power
of words to convey. Beloved by his

one, Fred Warshauer's tragic death is
the most stupendous calamity in the
