VICE PRESIDENT
WARNS THE RICH.

The uStcrance of President
Marshall at the National Democratic
Club banquet in New York last Sat
urday night have set many people TO
thinking. His remarks voice the con-
illusions many others have arrived at
in recent years, as they call atten-
ton to a serious menace not only to
The United States, but to every civ
iliZcd country on the planet. Some
of Mr.. Marshall's words should bc
pondered well. Among other things
he said:
Present advantage shouts our eyes

tions. Not what we are not what we
stand for, but what we can make

WHEN \ MAN MARRIES.
We cheer for the fellow who goes
out and wins
A wife 10 preside DER his flat,
But when q man marries his troubles
begins,
And there's more truth than poetry
in that.
His glad bachelor days are a tale
that is told,
His old bachelor friends are ia
booed,
For lis said that their ways are en-
tirely .oo bold,
So stays right at home like he's
glued
Becoming domestic is surely task
For the man who has travelled the
pace,
And he dare not cnthuse over bottle
or flask,
Or look in a poker chips face.
He gives up tobacco, he cusses ne
more,
He does what has Ma-in-law bids.
He loses his sleep while he's wailline
the floor,
When the whooping-cough tackles
the kids.
Ii he marries widow his pli%ht's
even worse,
Telling her the old lies is 10 fun,
They were told by the fellow who
rode in the hearse,
The lamented and late humble!
one.
His wife soon gets wise to his plans
for lark,
And she's up to his cleverest dodge,
When he says he was scared 10 come
home in the dark,
Or he springs that old gag 'oor:
the lodge.
His daily existence is free fros.: al
lay,
No sports she'll allow him to seek,
The only diversion she'll lei him eE-
JOY
Is the prayer-meeting held orce
week.
When man marries he's nailed tt
the mast,
So he winds up the clock II The
flat
And retires soon after his evenings
repast.
When he's locked up and pu out
the cat.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London. July 1s.-The possibilities of
work in a bank as a career for women
have been demonstrated by Farrow' S
Bank for Women, which was inauguratai
a couple of years ago. and which, after
being managed entirely by women, has
proved so successful that it has been
transferred 10 new and enlarged premises
in the very heart of the West End
Our success is largely due TO the
hearty support We have received from
women" said Mrs. Kate Reilly. the
mana ageress.
The easerness with which women OF
all classes and from all parts of the
Empire took up the idea of an institu-
non devoted entirely TO their needs was
in itself a proof that Farrow's novel
departure was fulfilling long-felt want
THE business transacted here is exactly
the same as that transacted by any other
Joint stock bank, and the fact that all
our staff consists of women is good
evidence that one sex is not more gifted
than the other in accuracy and head
for figures
A feature of our establishment here
is rendezvous room for our clients.

The old theory that the only way to
kill a cat for sure is to put it under a
pile driver for a week or sic bull
dog after 1t. was vindicated for the
LII, ,54sth time here today. when Herbert
A. Dean. city dog and cat ofiicer. threw
an almost good cat into a tank Of gas.
The tank is one which is-kept at the
pound to asphyxiate cats and dogs who
are under Indictment. and 1t has been
useful until today, when II exploded as
soon as the cat touched II.
Engineers, who were called In to dag
nose the case. said that IL was q case of
electric ignition. the current having been
furnished by the batteries carried In
every cats back. The carburetion OF the
gas tank, they said, was especially good
and there was no fault to be found with
the cats ignition.
Evidently II was a two-cycle cat. and
the compression was just right when II
was thrown In. There were evidences
that the ANIMALS ignition was OF the
make-and.break type, as there was no
trace Of carbonization and no magnetic
was used. As In the case Of any reliable
internal combustion engine. the cat
simply sparked when the compression was
highest. and there was an impulse which
cost the city the price OF one good gas
tank.
, This is the third time similar tanks
have exploded. every time while they
contained q cat. Mr.. Dean says that
hereafter he will use the tank exclusive
ly for dogs and 6Ffll try some other sort
Of treatment for electrified cats.

Paris. July 1s-An incident which re-
veals in one grim moment much of the
pathos and the misery that exists un-

For many months a gray-haired old

crutches and sat at the corner of the
bridge which crosses the Seine, selling
matches or small punches of wild flow
ers.. A few days ago his plaintive voice
was calling the French equivalent for
'Violets, cents a bunch" For hours
he proffered his little punches of blue
flowers. Passersby hurried on without
looking at him. He could sell nothing.
At last. with a sudden sob of despair.

dropped his crutches and, clambering
painfully with his crippled limbs over
the parapet of the bridge, dropped into

body rose TO the surface and then the
lame beggar of the Pont des Arts dis
appeared beneath the water.

For several years the L. c. c. has laid
stress on the importance Of speech train
