WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Thomas
Taggart, democratic national commit
teeman, who operates the state OF
Indiana, is a nimble fellow, even TO
his fingers. He can 10 various slight
0f-hand tricks with cards and coins,
and his favorite form OF practical
Joke is TO go through a crowd OF his
friends. picking their pockets. He
can engage almost any one in CONVEX
sation and take away his watch,
pocketbook. or scarfpin entirely un-
noticed. All he has To do is put his
arm about his victim in fatherly
manner, talk entertainingly. and let
his fingers do the rest. His friends
insist that he would make a corking
pickpocket IL ne cared 10 take up
that form OF endeavor as a profes-
sion, but he is willing to waive the
item OF personal profit and picks
pockets only for joke purposes.
At ths last democratic national
convention Taggart went about plying
his little hobby until he had about
20 watches in his coat pockets and
several costly scarf pins. Then he be-
gan TO redistribute the watches He

THE BANKS PASS THE TEST.

The crucial period having passed,
the people OF this country may well
congratulate themselves on the fact,
now fully proved, that this country's
financial foundation is as solid as
rock
Never in this nations history have
the financial resources of America
been subjected TO so great a strain as
they have been during recent months,
when not only the complications Of
new banking system had to be adj
justed in the very midst of the con-
fusion and alarm. Yet there has
been no panic nor the slightest symp-
tom of uneasiness regarding the man
sgement of this country's fiscal af-
fairs.
With all Europe as we'll as her own
millions of people depending upon
her America has been able TO speed
lily and fully respond to the great and
incessant demands.
That the warning nations are ruin
ing themselves is a fact sadly pal
pable, but the worst effects of the
war, as far as we are directly con-
oerned, have been safely withstood,
and the way of this nation is an up
ward, prosperous way in the pursu-
ance Of which she cannot be hinder
ed or seriously disturbed.

the blisters will be primarily its own.

STIMULATION.

There are many and varied popular
beliefs regarding means of stimula-
ton. and some OF these have had what
seems TO be scientific endorsement
Many a very bright man has been a
hard dyinker, and so we loosely con-
meet brilliancy with hard drinking.
Many another bright man has been
addicted 10 drugs. and so we connect
brilliancy with the drug habit.
But many. many more very brillie Mt
men have never resorted 10 any in
citant whatever. and so we may con-
clude that the real enthusiasm and
the real qualities OF success lie not
IA the liquor or in the drug. but with
In the man himself For every man
Who looks 20 liquor or drugs for his
stimulation. and does brilliant work.
there are a million who look 10 them
for stimulation. and do poor work
The real stimulatiye force must lie
within the inner man. Shakespeare
made no mere figure OF speech when
ne said we are such stuff as dreams
are made or The stun that is in our
day-dreams is the warp-and- woof Of
our lives.
Upon the office wall OF one OF the
greatest educational Institutions in
this country is this motto in large let
tiers. Light the fires of desire under
the waters OF the mind and you have

Before he entered congress, Edward
Heating of Colorado used to have one
big extravaganza. He was a news
paper man at that time, and so of
course made a great deal of money,
but nevertheless he confined his ex-
travagances to one item, to wit:
cigars. Heating used TO buy cigars
costing 10 cents each, and he did so
with the utmost concern. Now and
then he would pay even more than
that for a smoke. Once he paid
quarter of a dollar.
Members of congress soon learned
after Keating's arrival in their midst
that he was a good place to go for
cigars. Consequently he found his
congressional career proving too eX-
pensive. He switched one day from
good cigars to the poorest he could
find, and continued TO carry only that
kind until he got all his friends and
associates educated down to his new
basis of supplies. AS soon as his ac-
ouaintances ceased to ask him for
cigars, and even refused TO accept
his cigars when offered them, he once
more began to buy good ones. Thus
he is able to live within his means.

A manufacturer of golf balls went
TO the white house the other day to
seek the privilege OF presenting a
dozen balls 10 the president. They
were a specially CONSTRUCTED ball, he
said and would go from 20 to 80 yards
farther than the average ball, and
they would drop dead on the green.
While at the white house the golf ball
man fell into conversation with Tom
my Brahany, one Of the affable young
Irish secretaries who help run the eX-
ecutive offices. He found Brahany
such an engaging person that he not
only presented a dozen balls TO the
president, but half dozen to Tommy

Brahany, instead Of keeping all the
balls himself, as many a sOrdid spirit
might have done, spread them about
among some of the great men OF the
nation, among them Rep. John j.

atoms committee.
