STRENUOUS BANKING.
Clients Faced Cooked Gun While
Handing Over Their Dust.


Many years ago gold was discovered
at Hokidka, on the vest coast of New
Zealand. There was Il rush to the
small Maori village, and within few
weeks seventy vessels, of all rigs and
tonnage, were waiting TO get over the
dangerous harbor bar. The author of
"Antipodean Notes" describes the first
bank established in the little town.
With the vessels came two agents of
a local bank. Their bank furniture
consisted of a safe, a pair of scales, n
tent and a couple Of revolvers. The
two agents set up their tent. put the
safe i'll the back part and plank, laid
across two tree stumpS, in front.
The bank stair sat down behind
the plank: before one man were the
scales. a bottle of acid and Il note
book: the other held a cooked revolver
The digger brought his gold TO the
plank counter where it was weigh
ed and tested. When the value was
determined the testing clerk unlocked
the safe. placed the gold in it. brought
out a bundle of dirty banknotes anC
/ handed them to the digger.
During this transaction the clerl
with the revolver looked carefully
about to see if any suspicious person:
were lurking near.

GOOD ADVERTISING PAYS.
Before You Can Reap a Harvest You
Must First Sow the Seed.

The ordinary newspaper or periodical
reader doesn't dream of the potency of
good advertising. One of the largest
general advertisers in the United
States. if not quite the largest is 4
manufactures in the Philadelphia met
ropolitan district.
There is Il never ending race at that
plant between the advertising depart
ment and the builders. The advertisers
bring in so much business that the
builders are kept busy enlarging the
factory.
Something like SloOo.00O a year is
spent in advertising this company :
output. which is luxury in every
sense. Al the present moment orders
\ for new business are 50 far ahead Of
/ the capacit OF the plant that it would
! seem 4 hopeless job ever To catch up
+ But the advertisers never relax.

sustain the severest kinds of physical
suffering without giving utterance to
a sound, while a dog will scream when
any one accidentally treads upon it's
toes"
To understand the meaning of this
we must remember that the dog is of
the same family with the wolves, foxes
and jackals.
The Canine Snob.
One of the strongest as we'll as
strangest instincts that man has i'm
planted in the dog is that of caste feel
ing. This may account for his entrance
into society" A proud and naughty
dog is specially valued. Man has taught
him contempt for his humber relatives.
\ curious instance is given by an Eng
lish writer. Mr.. st. John. Speaking of
his favorite retriever he says:
1--WE struck up an acquaintance with
a ratcatcher and his cur thoroughly
entering into their way of business, but
the moment he saw me he instantly cut
his humble friends, and denied all ac-
quaintance with them in the most COM
ical manner"
Hundreds of similar instances can be
found recorded, and they show that the
dog has learned deception as we'll as
other things from his human instruct
ors. They also make plain the fact that
Atlanta Georgian., 1913-03-11

commodations when going abroad
facts like these are worth knowing
because of the sidelights that they cast
upon some of the aspects of the curious
world that is inhabited by the "smart
set"
You will agree that there must be
some reason for this dog worship. 1t is
not the same reason that led the old
Egyptians to make deities of certain
animals. They had a religious super
stition to mislead them, but the mod
ern cult of dogs is based upon a less
respectable ground. A single sentence
written by Professor George ]. Ro-
names, who made a special study of
dogs, may throw light upon this singu-
far subject:
THE emotional life of the dog is
highly developed-more highly, indeed,
than that of any other animal"
The dog has been made, by thou
sands of years of association with man,
a mirror of some phases of human
character. Upon no animal has man
imprinted so much of himself But the
imprint is found, almost entirely, in the
emotional nature of the animal. AS
Mr.. Romanes elsewhere says, man has
transformed the psychology of the dog.
To show one of the effects of this
transformation, let me quote from the
same authority: "a wolf or fox will

him in squandering much money on
her.

! changed that hundreds of women all
| over the world do nol stay away from
their places of employment longeg than
! IT takes to stand before the preacher.
Some work from a greater love for 1t
than for the kitchen, and others work
from sheer necessity, and still others
work because the husband desires 1t.
He calculates with a decision and a
precision that makes Cupid turn to flee,
that his wife's earning ability will take
care of her and let him remain in un-
disturbed possession OF his own pay
check
It seems to be your misfortune to
love that kind of a man. If you pre-
ferred business employment to the care
of your home, that should be deplored,
but there is much to justify It.
Your training has all been in busi-
ness employment. and I Judge from
your salary that you have been so
faithful to your task you have made a
success of it.
If you and your lover sat down and
figured that out of your combined in
comes YOU could begin the buying Of a
home: that each could put so much
away every week toward that happy
day when you could better afford to
stay at home; If. l say, there were some
object to your continuing at work be-
yond the qualification of eXtravagant
desires that will not outlive the mo-
ment. then 1t would be most commend
able.
But II seems to me you are put in a
position Of which your parents do not
approve. and which does not entirely
please you, solely to crafty mans
selfish desires The proposition. as he
makes It, seems decidedly cold blood
ed. He will take care of himself after
marriage; you will take care OF your
self
He will be the gamer by such a mar
riage; you will be the loser. He will
have all that marriage brings without
any of its financial burdens You will
have greater burdens. greater respon-
sibilities.
You will have no home. for you will
not be at home to make one. And a
homeless love, my dear girl, is the love
that soonest dies.
II is love i'm its protective suise that
every Woman's heart longs for, though
/ she may declare I'm strident voice that

and that he will return to his native
wolfish character as soon as the infu-
ence of his human environment is re-

The dogs popularity with certain
persons rests then upon two grounds:
first, his excessive development of af-
fection, and, second, his aping of some
of the most undesirable of human char
acteristics. such as pride, caste feeling,
lazy self-indulgence. and disregard for
everything outside the interests of his
own narrow circle. The pet dog is the
personification Of aristocracy.
