Carter claimed the right
to do this because some OF
his ancestors had estab-

business had succeeded by
unbroken line from this
enterprise.
Robert Carter & Co.,

Carter of Virginia was en-
joined from using the
words Established in mer-
camille business in 1885,"
and from using the words

nection with his individual
business. He was further
enjoined from using labels
that were so similar to
those of Robert Carter &
Co. as to be confusing.
But he was permitted to
use his own name, pro-
vided he so differentiated
his goods as to make them
easily distinguishable from
those of the Massachusetts,
corporation.

LIFE ONE OF TROUBLE
BANK OF ENGLAND HAS HAD a
VARIED CAREER.
e Her Credit Must Be Placed the
Settlement of Many Crises in the
Nations History--Has Gone
Through Panics.

More than once in her history the
''old lady of Threadneedle street" has
held the fate CT the British empire
in her hands. Just recently Britain
has had much to thank her for-espe-
cially the way she averted an econonl-
ic panic at the outbreak of the var.
William III had not yet begun to
wear mourning for his consort, Mary,
when ''the most famous and the rich
est lady in the world" as the late
Lord Gosehen styled the Bank of Eng
land, was modestly Graded at Mel-
GERS hall one July day in 1894, with
that canny Scotchman, William Patei-
son, for godfather.
She was well lowered as infants go,
for the merchants of LONDON city sub
scribed in ten days the comfortable
sum of 100000 for her birth dowry,
thus enabling her to begin life as a
full-born millionairess
But the child had not long to wait
for her first trouble.
When she was only two years old
the goldsmiths leagued themselves
against the interloper who was steal
ing their banking business from them.
A few years later the fears of an
invasion by the Pretender brought
her horde of enemies down on her
again, allied with the rival banks of
Hoare and Child, and she was only
saved from disaster when the dukes

and when her next migration took
her, in 1874, to the nucleus of her
present palatial home her capital still
fell short of modest $5O,OOO,O00
Here, in 1880, she was compelled 10
fight for her life.
Newgate had been sacked by a RI

was in flames and she herself was
girdled by fierce thousands bent on
her destruction. But she had gal

robbed her of $1,G00,000 by means of
forged notes, and he had so many imi-
tators that staff of 70 clerks was
kept busy in detecting them.
But the old lady's diary is crowded
with similar sensations and roman
tic happenings. When, for instance,
in the '45's" Prince Charles rebel
army had struggled as far south as
Derby, such was the general panic
that the bank was mobbed by anxious
crowds demanding money for its
notes Payment was not refused, we
are told, but the bank engaged a small
army of agents to present notes for
which they were paid in sixpences,
the agents going out of doors with
their silver and bringing it back by
another, so that bona fide holders of
notes could not get near enough to
present them.

CONGRESS GETS BUS
SHORT SESSION OPENS WITH

Fifteen Bills Appropriating More Than
a Billion Dollars Must Be
Passed.

Washington, Dec. Stealing into

abandoned late in OCTOBER. Crowded

survey of the calendars shows al
most a record-breaking legislative pro-
gram, the features being as follows:
Fifteen appropriation bills must be
passed. This means that congress
must apportion more than one billion
dollars between December and
March 4. There will be approximately
sixty five working days, making the
average appropriation per day about
seventeen million dollars, estimating
that the total appropriations will be at
least $1,100, 100000, as compared with
$1,116, 100000 for the long session.
If the fight for a public buildings
bill succeeds there will be 16 supply
measures and as extended fights are
imminent over rivers and harbors, the
naval increase and the army appro-
priation bill, night sessions probably
will be the rule during the short ses-

CARE OF WAGONS AND CARTS
General Practice of Allowing Vehicles
and Farm Machinery to Stand
Out Doors Is Poor One.

A well built wagon or cart, prop
erly used, will last for many years.
The general practice is to allow We
hicles and farm machinery to stand
out of doors in all kinds of weather.
The action of rain, and sunshine will
do more injury than actual use. A
wagon or cart, when not in use, should
be kept under a dry shed or in the
barn Keep the wagon painted and
creased. Before applying fresh grease
scrape of the old grease, rub the axle
clean, then grease. Get a good kind
of axle grease. For light wagons and
carriage sweet oil is best--only a
few drops will be needed for each
wheeI.
The wagon wheels will last much
longer without the tires being reset
by giving each wheel a good coat
of hot linseed oil spring and fall The
oil keeps the felloes and spckes sound
and dry and the tires should he cut
and reset. A loose tire viii soon in

''The president told Representative

that he would fight for an inquiry
regardless of the presidents opposi-

The reply of the president to these
interrogations were not made public.

their views.

John Blow. a farmer in Escambia

method of catching big fish without
consuming his time. For years he has
been taking large catfish and trout on
trot lines. His home and truck farm

By an alarm device he continues his
blowing and other work without dan
ger of his. fish escaping when hooked.
On the ends of the trot lines he
fastens small bells.
When they ring during his work
hours or in the night he steps down
to the river and pulls in the fish. The
device works like a charm and saves
much time-Atlanta Journal
