TWENTY PER CENT AND TEARS,

1t is really too bad, this effort Of the
democratic administration at Wash
ington to give the common people a
"loOk-in" on the question of a better
financial system. The dreadful things
that are going to happen If the Glass
Owen bill shall be written into the
statutes are plainly foreseen by the
cashier Of a national bank in one of
the small towns of Pennsylvania, and
he hastens to make the stockholders
of his bank also the sharers in his
gloom. Along with the dividend checks
for the past half year, this pessimis-
tic person enclosed the following:
To the stockholders of the -
National bank: Enclosed find
check for your dividend for the
last six months. It is now ten
years since this bank was re-
opened for business. Each stock
holder has during the ten years
received 100 per cent of his stock.
The management has worked hard
to put the stock on a safe 20 per
cent dividend basis, which Is now
an accepted fact, but our school
master and a reckless congress
AoES ii Diil DtlOIc TIE senate
which, if passed, will disOrganize
our business to such an extent
that no n can tell what the
banks earnings will be in the fu-
turC.
Shocking, isn't it, that having re-
ceived their entire investment back
in ten years, land then some" they
should now face the possibility of be-
ing compelled to content themselves
with getting merely what an ordinary
investor would consider a very salts
factory interest rate-possibly as low
as Is per cent or, maybe, even not
more than IS per cent?
The Philadelphia Record extends it's
sympathy to this downcast bank per-
son after this fashion:
OF course, there arc envious
souls who think 20 per cent divi--
dends are d good deal Of a incl
on. They think the arduous la
Dor of taking care of other peo-
PIES money would be literally
compensated at a lower return
than that. AS the banks surplus
is stated to be equal to it's capital,
and the shareholders have been
getting 10 per cent a year, we in
fer that for ten years the profits
of this country bank have been 20
per cent a year.. one-half divided
n the other half carried to sur
plus, n that with the surplus
equal to the capital it was the in
tention Of the management here
after to declare dividends of 20
per cent a year. 1t is melancholy
to think that a "schoolmaster''
and d RECKLESS congress- may
d~isorganize the banking business
so that 20 per cent dividends will
be impossible.
The shareholders of this bank,
however, can not deny that they
have had a good thing for ten
years, and it really seems as if the
time had come for somebody be-
sides bank shareholders to have a
good time, though it is premature
to say that the currency bill, if
enacted. will seriously impair the
profits of the country hanks.

The Old Chicago Captain Made Two
Plays to Dahlen's One.
Tim Hurst. the veteran umpire, told
this one on Bill Dahlen when Bill was
a youth toiling under Cap Arson in
Chicago. Said he:
"Anson called Dahlen good and hard

Dahlen took it without saying word
but few minutes later Bill remarked
to me, Watch me bark that pld fell

and he stopped with much effort All
through that game Bill made great
stops, only to throw the ball few
feet in front of the bag. and it was up
to Arson to stop it with bis shins.
However. that was not the end Of it.
A few days later the White Stockings
had to make a trip to St. Louis, and
Arson told Dahlen he would not be
that several times and he thought Ans
was fooling. The train left Chicago
about midnight and Dahlen was with
the rest Of the team.
''When the train was about twenty
five miles out of Chicago the conductor
told Arson there were sixteen men In
the party and he had received only
fifteen tickets. Arson said there were
only fifteen men and named the berths
they occupied.
"'The man in berth No. IT says he is
a member of the Chicago team said
the conductor, who was referring to
Dahlen. He's stringing you.' replied
Arson. Poor Bill was asked to cough

he got back to Chicago only Bill him

Why the Great Musician Said He
Would Quit Smoking.
Liszt was In the habit of smoking
one cigar a day. But that one cigar
was an exceedingly choice one When
he was starting on a journey he told
his valet how many days he would be
away, and his valet put into the valise
corresponding number Of those CT
gars.
Once when Liszt was going to Italy
the chief customs officer at the frontier
post of Chiasso asked him if he had
anything to declare. The musician,
with his thoughts centered on his mu-
sic rather than his cigars, made signs
to the effect that he had nothing. The
officer opened the valise without the
traveller agitating himself over the
search. Presently number of cigars
were brought to light. The whole lot
was confscated, and he was ordered to
pay fine Of 500.
When Liszt reached Milan he told his
agent Of his unpleasant adventure. Ri
cordi laughed at the whole affair, took
