did Cade say how he got the request
from Banks to meet him.

with Wood and that through him in

brother. =. Erskine Wood. n turned
the stock over to him to dispose OF as
advanta gcously as he could. Banks now
runs the business under the name OF the

titled that he does a large business with
the marlborough and other traction COM
panies over which the Public Service
Commission has jurisdiction. II has been
testified that the business OF the Ranks
company has risen from almost nothing
TO about 80 200 a month with the Inter-

clined 10 say what ii was. II was pointed
out 10 him that II WAS the committees

Trade In Reptiles.

The trade in snake skins does not
at first thought suggest itself as one
requiring large capital or very COM
plicated organization, at least in this
country. But in the far East things
are different. The Java Reptile Skin
Company has been incorporated in
the island Of that name, with a cap
ital Of $4,000. Branches will be ca.
tablished In a number Of places
throughout the island, where live
snakes will be purchased from native
hunters. Great stress is placed upon
buying the reptiles alive, since the
skin is much more valuable il the
snake is skinned while it is yet liv.
ing. Live snakes IL to 1S feet in
length bring good prices, while dead
snakes are a drug on the market.
The woman who wears with pride q
handsome snake-skin card case will
probably not give a thought to the
fact that the material was stripped
from a living snake. Ever since the
episode in Eden some few thousands
of years ago snakes have apparently
had no right to having their feelings
considered.

A LITTLE KNIGHT.

Not to look at No. He looked
rather funny as he lahoriously climb
Cd the tramcar steps; for his legs
were very short and he could get no
help from his hands, for one carried
his school-books and the other held
something squeezed up tight
But the conductor knew I'm well
and helped him up; and he appeared
In the doorway smiling broadly at the
% ssengers, who all smiled back into
the round, freckled face with such q
mere button of a nose that it looked
as II 1t had been pounded in.
A little friend Of his, who had
evidently been crying, was sitting in
the other end Of the car, and the little
knight made his way up to where she
was sitting.
"Hullo. JENNY" he said, in his
cheerful voice.

catch in her voice, 1--WE lost my

John anxiously. looking sharply at the
floor.
mo. We are such a big family,
you see, and I am in the middle Of It.
And people in the middle Of families,
I don't think, ever get extras, They
always take what's left"
Eyes, I've noticed that" said John.
"1'm in the middle too, and things are
always too big or too little for me.
I got stxpence running on an errand
for grandma" he added, opening up
his s~queezed-up hand and showing
