A distinction which one line of

 that as to the relative safety of
 banks and banking houses as de
 positaries. Your inquiries on this
 point although purely tentative and without attempt to cite any records
 which might bear upon the subject. left the impression that you doubted

This is a matter of less grave concern to the public than many points having to do with the fun damental character Of our banking laws. and our opinions on this par ticular topic are likely to be ac- cepted with considerable reserve
 Yet it may be of value to inquire whether experience offers any data going to show that incorporated banks have proved themselves in structure or in practice. more i'm from failure than private banks. Incorporated banks possess. from the depositor's point of view. such safeguards as are extended by existing methods of state super visions. And the National Bank act wisely provides that, in the event of a banks failure. the share holders shall be liable to the extent of twice the amount of the capital stock. With private banks, how ever the liability for the funds of deposit1rs is unlimited. and the total private means of each partner are subject to tie firms obliga-

Furthermore. our observation was that such individuals and corpora- tions as were fortunate enough. when the panic was raging and when SC curity prices were at their lowest, to hold any considerable amount of liquid resources, invariably devoted such resources to the aid of the weaker members of the community and deliberately refrained from put ting their funds into low-priced se- curities for the purpose of profit.

BY FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDER-
SON,

There we're two loyal hearts to
smile encouragingly after Walter Rose
and wish him an earnest God-speed
when he left Riverdale. Mercy Oar.
row bade him adieu through swimming
eyes, but she had given him words of
blissful cheer and comfort. Little Joe
Dockrill, cripple as he was, lifted him

think the prospects in the city are en-
couraging, you should go there"
1T is only for year, sweetheart"
said Walter. You and your parents
are practically dependent on your mar
red sister All l have is the lot and
the old house, ready to fall down any
day l could not think of taking you
there"

the little cripple.

self. Why, you've fitted me out like a
prince, Uncle Walter, and I'm going to
make you proud of me. I'll help get
that house up you want so bad. I've
got an idea and I'm going to carry it
out"
Pretty patient Mercy went home
rather mournfully. Little Joe returned
home, the honest tear drops in his
eyes, but whistling cheerily, for he had
some very hopeful ideas under that

run down by an automobile and Grip
pied for life. For two months the
homeless little fellow was kept in the
hospital. Then he was again turned
adrift, his sole assets a pair Of
crutches.
1t was tender-hearted Mercy, true to
name and nature, who took him in,
but her sister resented the intrusion
Then Mercy spoke to Walter about
the friendless outcast. Walter took
him to the old house. His father was
very old and feeble. He needed con.
slant attention, and took a great fancy
10 the bright, jolly little stranger.
Joe was so CHEEKY, so accommodate
ing, SO handy, despite his crippled con.
dition, that within month Walter felt
that he had secured treasure. Little
Joe made the long evenings lively. He
was faithful attendant upon aged
Mr.. Rose, and nearly the last smile
upon the lips of the old man was for
the lad who had so frightened his
final hours on earth
Joe had taken a great interest in
the plans Walter had drawn for the
new house. When the latter decided
to go to the city, he wanted to ar
range for the care of his little charge
with a neighbor
mo, Uncle Walter; no, positively"
asserted Joe. 1--we planned it all out

real work. but | can drive, and I'll pick
up enough odd jobs about town to keep
me comfortably and sometimes to put
aside for that famous new house you're
going to build. See if don't!"
Walter agreed to this, but with some
reluctancy and misgivings as he looked
at the thin, wistful face and crippled
condition of his charge. And now Joe
was the only occupant of the lonely old
house that shook dangerously when
the wind blew hard. and only portion
of which was at all habitable.
I'm going to set up light house
keeping in the dining room and move
my cot there" planned Joe. Just as
soon as get it fixed just as | want it
then for the plans of the new house"
Daytimes after Joe drove down to
the depot and waited around for a
chance to haul a trunk or carry a va
lise or package in the old wagon. He
had to have help with the heavier
freight. but then his charges were

TRUTH ABOUT PATRIARCHS
Scientific Analysis Has Reduced the
Number of Their Years on Earth
to a Reasonable Point.

How old was Methuselah? Nine
hundred and siXty-one years is the age
which, from our earliest youth, we
have been accustomed to assign the
patriarch. Scientific research abroad,
however, has reduced these imposing
figures to 78% years!
The experts point out that there
has always existed a certain amount
of doubt, even among orthodox be-
levers, in the literal truth of the Bible
concerning the great age to which the
patriarchs attained. Many theories
have been evolved to reduce the bibli-
cal records of this kind to something
near the allotted span of man.
1t has been surmised that, in the
riod of moon cycle-was called a
year. Thus, Adams $50 years of life,
calculating year at 291a days, the
length of lunar month, works out to
1914 years. After the month year
there would appear to have come a
five-month year, the limit of five be-
ing derived from the fingers on one
hand, it being remembered that prim-
tive peoples always used the fingers
for purposes of calculation. Then
came the 12-month year.
Ground for this rearrangement is
alleged to be given in the psalmist' S
limit of life of three-score and ten
years. Furthermore, 1t is maintained
that, between the times of Noah and
of David, no such extraordinary
change could have taken place as to
reduce the life of man by eleven
twelfths. On the five-month-year ba-
sis Abraham's 175 years shrink to 72
and Isaac's 180 to IA.
1t may be, it is also pointed out,
that there intervened six-month year,
discovered by Jacob while watching
Laban's focks. Thus Jacobs 147
years work out at about 73. The 12.
month year began with the Egyptians,
who saw that a complete period was
made up of the two years." in one of
which the days were longer than the
nights, and in the other of which the
nights were longer than the days.
1t Is a curious fact that the Chris
tians and the Jewish years will not
forever be separated, for, in due
course of time Rosh Hashona will fall
at Christmas time and then catch up
the Christian year. This, however,
Will not occur for 10000 years.
