In blue serge, with folded arms, sits

calm that must come out of real

the thing immensely, but giving no
other sign than a sharper CLINT OF the
eye, slight opening of the lips.
In moment of crisis, being only
human. he rises with the rest of US,

of a high fly down the foul line far

Rich people were urged to do without

KEEP UP THE OLD CUSTOMS
Prevailed In Two Arlstocratlc
London BaEks.

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 stir prevail
In them and doubtless will be carried
over to the merged institution.
From time fmmemorial the owners
Of Couttss bank have insisted that
mustaches ard boards must be taboo
to all employees and also as far az
possible to its 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 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 a black frock coat and white tie
and 1t is said that the procession
from the bank at closing time appears
like a delegation of Non-Conformist
elergymen.
In the offices OF Robarts', antique
little lamps, like those pictured In In
teriors OF the olden time. are used
for light and for sealing purposes.
These lamps are always kept filed
with a specially made brand of oil
and gas or electric light has never
been able to Danish these 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
ing world.

Gaining entrance to the second story
by means of ladder, the burglar col
lected together $3.50 in coin, a few
gold rings, and odd trinkets, and slid
down porch post to the ground. As
his feet touched terra firma, the
goat, whose private grazing patch had
been invaded, spied the intruder.
Also the intruder spied Billy. Then
started an unequal foot race for the
nearest fence.
The burglar lost-lost the race

ton of his clothing, and several tea,

to scale the fence. and disappear in the
darkness with the loot, which was the
property Of John Regalia, Antoine Ram

Mrs. e. B. Pond, daughter-in-law OF
former mayor Pond, of San Francisco
whose local home has been invaded
by burglars twice during the past

from the Italians. He is not for sale,
however. although the savage watch

confusion, can be had for the asking.

HAD TO PROVE THE HABIT
Man Who Had Allowed Himself tho
Practice Of Keeping Left Eye
Closed, Got In Much Trouble.

Physicians of Birmingham, Ala, re-
Gently called attention to the case of
Thomas Armstrong, boy Of twelve
years, who uses his hands as well as
his feet for locomotion instead of
walking erect. He has never known
any other way of getting about. The
Juvenile court took the boy In charge
In the hope Of teaching him normal
walking methods.
Charles Appleton Of New Orleans
was the subject of illustration at a
lecture given by physician In that
city not long ago. He had contracted
the habit of closing his left eye. He
said 1t rested his sight, he fancied,
the left eye being the weaker Of the
two. The habit grew until he was
not using 1t for reading purposes.
At the lecture 1t was recited that
everything had been done to break him
Of the habit, but without success. un-
til he met with an adventure on a
street car that ruffied him considera-
bly,. A woman boarded the car on
which he was passenger. He had
his left eye closed as usual. She cas-
ually glanced at Appleton and re-
marked the closed eye without there
seeming to be any cause for an ap-
parent affection. She looked once or
twice again and made such an impress
sion on Appleton that he was startled
out of his habit and opened his eye.
The woman looked, started, denounced
him as firter, complained to the
conductor. waved angrier the more she
thought of the affair and finally had
Appleton arrested. He had to prove
his peculiar habit in order to escape
q fine.

ALL IN REALITY TEUT0NS
Great Nations Of the Present Got Thelr
Ideals From Gcrmanlo
Sources.

Teutonic civilization crossed the
channel and laid the foundation of
England. There 1t has been preserved
In a purer state than in any other part
Of the globe. except in Scandinavia.
The free ideals which England has
spread broadcast throughout the world
are her heritage from the Saxon free
men who founded a new Germany in
Britain. while military despots did vio-
lenoe to German ideals In central
Europe.
There is no civilization worthy the
name except Teutonic civilization. 1t
fills Europe and America; 1t dominates
Asia and Africa. It's seat is in London
and Paris. and Rome and Brussels.
and Copenhagen and Stockholm, and
New York and Philadelphia. no less
than in Berlin and Vienna
Because we inherit the blood Of the
Saxons or the Normans or the Franks
or the Longobards we are all Ger
mans; but more especially are we Ger
mans because our most priceless herit-
age Ia the free ideals OF those free
men.
It is idle, therefore, to talk Of preju-
dice against Germans In this conflict.
And 1t is equally futile to argue that
Teutonic civilization is at stake in a
war in which the most potent factors
on either side are themselves the ripest
product Of that civilization watered
by the most ancient German blood
