out of the depths of encouragement.
Rutherford evolved an entirely new plan
of attack; and 1t was in pursuance of this
plan that he called on Ferguson, the
cashier of the Trinity Trust Company
the bank in which he was heavily in
terested and expected soon to assume
active duties
Ferguson" he said, ''vou lSnoy-or
ought to know that l am closely study
ing the financial situation nowadays, with
the view of being as much trouble as
possible to this concern later on"
The sooner the better" grinned the
cashier.
"Thants-but you don't know what YOU
are saying what an ignoramus I am"
responded craig Now there are one or
two questions I'd like to ask"
Fire away" replied Ferguson. He
liked the way in which this straightfor-
Ward young man was willing to acknowI-
cage Ignorance and to be taught instead
of tackling a job as intricate as banking
with bumptious self-conceit.
well, the first thing I want to know is
-HoW does bank raise funds quickly?
suppose the Trinity Trust needed n mill
lion dollars this morning, how would Won
raise it?" 'ou
That's a good big question for a
starter, Mr.. Rutherford: IL has often
caused hnanciers to lie awake at nightsl

rites could easily turn them into cash"
''At any other bank?"
AT almost ony other bank. But tbare
are certain banks which make a speciality
of certain bonds. and would. therefore.
take them more readily than others"
is there any means by which different
banks are kept informed of prospective
bond sales?"
Most assuredly-especially when the
transfer involves bonds of any consider
able amount. II were interested IN large
bond sales ! should simply send out a
memorandum to that effect. and the prob-
abilities arc that the desired business
would come to me-"
Thanks" replied Craig. 'I guess

while. Now ! wish you would take I'M a

CELEBRATION PLANS
STIR ENTHUSIASM
Get T o G e t h er Spirit"
Shown by Men of Public
Prominence and a Desire
to Make Event Here One
of National Scope.

A "get-together" spirit for another ma
tlonal celebration of the Fourth of July
In this city, as advocated by the EVENING
LEDGER is already evidenced among the
prominent men of Philadelphia. An air
of practical enthusiasm prevails among
those who have been conspicuous in sue
cessful big city events Of the past and
present
The consensus OF opinion Is that the
coming Fourth is the time and Phlladel-
phia the place to dedicate the city to re-
newed patriotism. In view of the impetus
already given the movement by the prom
ised cooperation of the city's Congress-
men. Senators and other legislators, 1t
has been suggested by leading business
men and others that the event should oo
in keeping with what It typifies.
In addition to the program at lndcpend-
ence Hall and Christ Church and tour
of historical places of the Revolution II
has been suggested by several prominent
citizens that there be a pageant led by
descendants of Revolutionary heroes and
veterans OF the Civil War as indicative OF
a united country,
That harmony might prevail in all ar
rangements those who expressed n will
ingness to work for the cause declared
they would be glad to cooperate under
the direction Of the committee of veterans
named in the EVENING LEDGER.
THOMAS MARTINDALE, OF COURSE.

an active interest in the big events of
the city, will roll up his sleeves and get

number of other Philndelphians get
to work In this direction.

advocate that celebration just 80 years
after tho close of the great Civil War
should be held in Philadelphia above any
other place on the Continent. Here, resi-
dents of the West, East. North and
South could gather together at the shrine
of liberty and the home of the Liberty
Bell.

The servant had given no evidence OF

that the man should accept 1t thus as n

He was now convinced that Helderman

some way. Here were two of the best

WHEN is A GOAT NOT A GOAT?
This Question Is Answered at Hear
ing Before Magistrate Rooney.


Q,-When is a goat not a goat?
A.-When II Is sold for lamb.
At least that is the way the question
was decided today before Magistrate
Rooney. when George and Samuel TaTkin,
butchers and brothers, were arraigned for
selling goat meat for yearling lamb.
The Tarkin Brothers have two 'hops, one
OF which Is located at 1712 Point Breeze
avenue.
In addition TO selling goat meat for
lamb, the brothers. according TO Agent
SINNERS. OF the Dairy and Food Com-
mission. testified that they charged real
lamb prices without hesitation. BY way
OF evidence Simpson made the case
stronger by showing that the boat meat
sold was still decorated with real goat
hair. which is good for mixing with plas-
ter but uncomfortable as food.
The prisoners were each held under 800
bail for a further hearing.
