Something About Trousers,

Kansas City Star: There is 2 dis
pute among the gentlemen who ram
sack. the past as to the origin of
clothing. Did it begin as a string of
beads, solely for ornament, and did
modesty finally result from the wear
ing of clothes? Or did some social
leader in the cave dwelling days de-
cree that it was bad form not to wear
an apron? And so did the habit result
from a dawning sense of modesty?
1t Is an obscure subject and one
which may be argued about at great
length. For there are wild tribes to-
day in the tropics who regard clothing
as a useless impeachment, but who
wouldn't for the world appear in pub
lie without a cord decorated with
shells around the waist. Also there
are savage gentlemen who look on
clothing with scorn as something eff
Terminate and will have nothing, to do
with them. In Japan, at least until
recent years, nobody paid any atten-
ton if one went to an outdoor bath
in the altogether, any more than the
seasoned frequenter of the boardwalk
In Atlantic City minds the appearance
on the beach of women in short skirts
and men in abbreviated trunks.
Custom is the dictator of what is
good form and what is not, and what
everybody does rarely offends us.
All of which is merely preliminary
to the reflection that antiquarians in
England discovered that last year was
the centenary of trousers. Previous
to that blissful year men were forced
to encase their legs in breeches which
came just to the knees or in panta-
looms, which stopped above the ankle,
something after the fashion of the
rah-rah trousers of today.
Numerous gentlemen not having
legs that could be shown to advantage
is the tight garments of the period,
the transition to trousers came the
more readily. At first, indeed, there
was prejudice. An English investigat-
or has discovered that the duke of
Wellington was one of the first dis
tinguished men in Great Britain to
wear trousers, n that he was refus-
ed admittance to his club In conse-
.quence by the conservative hall port
er.
Gut the trousers had such obvious
advantages in the way Of comfort and
convenience that they were bound to
win. So far as human foresight goes
they seem to have come to stay.

Ths Old Guard Gone.

New York World: When the repub-
lican party went out OF power it had
lone OF the leaders under whom 1t
came into power sixteen years ago.
Mckinley is dead. Reed lis dead.
Hobart is dead. Hanna is dead. Ding
ley is dead. Sherman and Allison and
Frye and Mcmillan and Cushman X.
Davis are dead. Plat and Quay and
Henry G. Payne are dead. Hale Is
dying. Aldrich, Spooner, Foraker and
Burrows are in retirement. Grosven-
or Is forgotten.
One of the men who were ~conspicu-
Gus in the republican ranks when Will
liam Mckinley was inaugurated presi-
dent, Senator Lodge, Is the n re-
naming figure. AS Uncle Joe Cannon
hikes back to Danville the country
forgets that he was not a member OF
the original old guard under Mckinley
and that he came into the speakership
as a reformer.
Nothing emphasizes the political
changes of the last sixteen yaers more
than the names OF the republican lead
ers who have died or abdicated.

Orison SWEET Marden: Mr.. Armour's
admiration for charity has been
demonstrated in a remarkable way.
It was after a Sunday morning dis
course by the splendid orator, DIR.

his views on the subject Of educating
children, the Phillip ID. Armour came
forward and said:
"You believe in those ideas of yours,

And would you carry them out if
you had the opportunity?"

you will give me FIVE years of your

love of oratory."

How Bank Deposits are Guarded.

William Buckeye in Leslie's: From
the moment a depositor lines up be-
fore the receiving teller's window of a
bank and lays his bills on the ounter
until he again receives back his
money from the paying teller his de-
post has been surrounded by a net
work of devices to insure its safe
keeping. It has been subjected to the
rigid banking laws of the state or
nation, to a guardianship by a host of
public officials, by steel and by time
locks, by the, vigilance of the bank
officials and the surveillance of bond
ing companies. And yet, in spite of
this constant effort, though the
depositor rarely loses himself, some
times his money mysteriously dis
appears, and until the, guilty person
is detected the shadow OF a doubt
hangs over the personnel of that bank,
from the office boy to the president.
Such, however, is the system of vigil
ance by which the public, through it's
agents of the law, guards funds on
deposit that 1t is only rarely that the
money so taken is not recovered.
The marvel is not that men daily,
hourly, tempted with opportunities to
purloin the wealth which passes
through their fingers, sometimes yield
to this temptation, but that the per-
centage of loss from theft which the
banks Of the country sustain is not
greater than it is. Indeed, so unusual
is not greater than it is. Indeed, so
unusual is the occurrence of a theft
by a member of the banks personnel
that when such is the case the banks
nervous organization is thrown out
of equilibrium. The bank as a bank
