OPPORTUNITY.

First Mortgage Gold Bonds, secured
by improved farms, are superior in
many respects and much more desira-
bic as an investment, than many of the
bonds listed on the Stock Exchange.
They are not effected by strikes,
political eccentricites or stock market
manipulations. They do not fluctuate.
For safety, stability and attractive
income the farm mortgage stands at
the head with few equals and no su-
periors.
For the benefit of those of small
means we have Gold Bonds in denomin-
atoms of $4,000, netting 696 interest.
No expense in collecting interest or
principal.
This puts all classes Of investors on a
level and is certainly the small inves-
tors opportunity.
For select first mortgages from 800
to IS, 900, on improved farms see or
address X. J. PENHALLEGoN,

KEEP UP THE OLD CUSTOMS
Curious Practices That Have Long
Prevailed in Two Aristocratic
London Banks.

A New York banker who spends
much time abroad and has recently re-
turned was speaking the other day
about the amalgamation of the two old
private banking houses of London,
Coutts and Robarts, and of some of
the queer customs which still prevail
in them and doubtless will be carried
over to the merged institution.
From time immemorial the owners
Of Coutts's bank have insisted that
mustaches and boards must be taboo
to all employees and also as far as
| possible to it's customers. The found
er of the bank was a firm believer in
character reading from the formation
Of the mouth and always insisted that
he must have a free and unobstructed
opportunity to study the mouth of
either customer or employe and this
has been carried on down to the pres
ent day. Moreover, 1t is an unwritten
rule that every official OF Coutt's must
| wear black frock coat and white tie
from the bank at closing time appears
| like a delegation of uCOuformist
clergymen.
In the offices of Robars'. antique
little lamps, like those pictured in in
teriors of the olden tiInr, are used
for light and for seainE purposes.
These lamps are always kept filed
with specially made brand of oil
and gas or electric liplu has never
been able to Danish tho-p old style
lamps from Robarts. The merger of
these two banks was described by the
American banker as a Wedding Of the
two aristocrats of the English bank

General Macomb, the American com

army, but perhaps less than 1000 were
fit for active duty. The British force
numbered between 10000 and $4,000
men, the majority of whom were vet
Grams in the service. Notwithstanding
the seeming impossibility of defense,
General Macomb maneuvered his little
army and gathered such REINFORCE
ments by earnest appeal as to enable
him to anticipate the meeting with the
enemy with the utmost confidence.
