BANK SECURITY

~ NE OF the younger trust COM
panies of the Central Pennsyi-
~ vania district, whose manage
ment has been criticised mildly
by some of its stockholders for not
declaring larger dividends from earn
ings that have been unexpectedly
large, issues the following statement
in reply:
The object of this company is to
afford absolute security for the
financial transactions in its bank
ing field. II there are those who
TO grow big, we do not agree with
them. II there are those who be-
lieve that our object should be to
with them. Our paramount object
is to afford security. and is not to
grow big or pay dividends; for it
curity that we can render efhci-
ent and satisfying service in the
growth and development of our
banking community
> If by increasing our security we
also grow big. we'll and good. IL
by increasing our security we are
also enabled to pay dividends, well

1T is because we believe that the

security of this trust company and
the efficiency of its service.
If every bank followed those rules
there would he fewer failures. No
bank exists solely for the profits of its
stockholders. The banking business
is necessarily one of routine, and eX-
travagance and extremes have no
place in conservative bank manage
ment. A banker must be a student of
political economy and must be able
to apply its principles to his business
in such a manner as to utilize the eX-
periences of the past in his analysis
of present conditions and what they
portend for the future. A good bank
er appreciates his relations to the bus
mess community and he must be more
than a mere receiver and lender of
money and a dividend Garner for his
In times of panic and distress, he
must come to the aid of deserving g
customers and prevent the failure of
any solvent ones who are in trouble.
He must be identified with those
things of a constructive nature-phy-
sically, morally and intellectually-of
his community.
In brief, composite picture of a
successful banker would show a COM
bination OF moral worth intellectual
ity, financial and commercial ability,
integrity. amiability, tactfulness, cor
diality, patience and unfailing cour-
tesy. He must be more than a mere
money grubber. A banker whose in
was reckoned as the best
dividend payer in the United States
recently failed for an enormous sum.
Tho trust company management
quoted is right the bank must be

Tobacco Production,

India, second only to this country in
the production of q ,acco, consumes
most of its own product and imports
very little. Russia is third and raises
practically all her supply, importing
and exporting only a small quantity.
Austria Hungary is the fourth produc-
ing country, importing more than a
fourth as much as 1t raises and exports
one-eighth Of its own crop. Germany
is an extensive grower Of tobacco, but
imports two and half times as much
as it cultivates and does not export
any. France raises considerable tobac-
co under government supervision and
imports great quantities of the milder
Virginia tobaccos to keep up the quail
ty Of the cigarettes and other products
made under the state monopoly. Both
France and Spain keep buyers in this
market.

Landing the Lure That Coaxes the Bat
Ting Black Bass.
The bait caster! What memories of
llypadded lakes, shimmering in the
FURNISHED gold of the setting sun, of
a roseate twilight peace, when the lake
is one vast mirror; of furious battles
with that bulldog of the sweet waters,
the black bass, are his!
A most difficult art, one that requires
more than a modicum Of practice to
acquire-to place that lure precisely
in given spot, forty or fifty feet away,
where bass may lurk-not near the
spot but right in it, mind you-to land
that lure so as to simulate a frog or
minnow naturally leaping or jumping
to escape possible attack by a bass;
to do all this with short rod and
high speed reel-casting the lure as a
small boy throws an apple from the
end of a stick-to do this with accuracy
and deftness is no unworthy ambition.
And after the strike comes a battle
between a five pound fish and $50
pound man, equalized by fair tackle,
that will put the exhilaration of eter-
nal youth into any man-especially If
he proves himself worthy to beat the
fish at his own game-to take him with
all the handicaps imposed by the nec-
essary tackle and win out against all
the snags, tactics, leaps and plunges,
rushes and feints employed by the bat
tling bass.-Warren FL. Miller in

, BENEFITS FROM BOOKS.
Travelling Along the Roads That Lead
Us Into Other Worlds.

The benefit of literature can hardly
be overestimated. Books enlarge a
mans horizon. They raise mirage of
water brooks and date palm to travel
ers in the desert, They are "the sick
mans health, the prisoners release" "
Shut within narrow routine of dull
necessity, sad at heart in a world
where wrong triumphs, where beauty
has no assurance Of respect, where hu-
manity tolls terribly merely for its dai-
ly bread or the satisfaction Of trivial
appetites, the earthly pilgrim need do
no more than pick up a book and. 10, he
steps into another world.
Here he is free from sorrow and care,
free from the burden of his body, from
envy, jealousy, contempt, self satisfac-
tion, from vain regrets, from wishes
that can never wear the livery Of hope,
from narrowness Of soul and hardness
of heart.
He may mingle in the society of the
good and great; he may listen to the
wise man and the prophet; he may see
all the conditions of human happiness
and misery; he may watch the human
spirit in its strife with circumstances
nobly conquer or basely succumb; he
may go down through the gate of
hundred sorrows or accompany Dante
and Beatrice through the spheres Of
paradise. Monthly.

WRECKED THE rHEATER.


When London Playsosrs Rose Against
an Increase In Prices.
There occurred in London something
over a hundred years ago a series of
riots called the 20. P. RIOTS" which
grew out Of an increase in theater
prices. a.
In 1909, after Covent Garden theater
had been burned to the ground and re-
built, 1t was reopened under the man
agement Of John Kemble, one Of the
Kemble family Of great actors, with an
increased scale of admission prices.
The new theater was all right, and
Kemble was popular, but the theater
going public resented the increase Of
prices.
On the opening night when Kemble,
who was to play Macbeth. attempted
to make an explanatory speech he was
hooted down by demands for "old
prices" and night after night people
crowded the house, danced on the seats
and interrupted the players with cries
Of 80. P.," old prices.
The disturbance continued for sew
eral weeks, the people wearing 20, p"
badges and displaying big 20. p" plac-
ards. The theater was closed for sew
eral days, but when it was opened the
trouble began again. Seats were de-
stroyed and windows broken.
Legal proceedings were taken and
failed. The municipal authorities, as
sisted by a governor of the Bank Of
England, finally brought about a COM
romise.-Philadelph Press.

The Actors Meeting With Gladstone
Outside the Theater.
John Hare. the eminent English ac-
tor-manager. said that the most de-
lightful compliment he ever received
was from Mr.. Gladstone. 1t was dou-
BILE ended compliment. Whichever way
you took 1t it was satisfactory.
Mr.. Hare earned fame playing old
mems parts, his character as Mr.. Gold
by in "a Pair of Spectacles' being a
good example. Added to this was a
horror of having his picture taken.
Mr.. Gladstone had never seen a pic
ture Of the actor, but he knew him
well behind the scenes as well as be-
fore the footlights. The premier's IA
vorite play was "A Pair of Spectacles, !"
and he always went behind the scenes
to chat awhile with the actor. The
really old man and the made up old
man would sit there and talk in the
most delightful way for an hour after
the show.
One day the Earl of Rosebery had
Mr.. Gladstone to dinner. and he also
invited his friend John Hare. The ac-
tor came In smooth shaved, looking
about thirty-five. He was presented to
Mr.. Gladstone. and the prime minis
ter shook his hand most cordially and
said:
MY dear sir, am very. very glad
to meet you. know your father very,
very well. Splendid actor! Fine old
manr'
1t took the whole evening for the
earl and Mr.. Hare to convince him
that this son was really the father

How Purple Dye Was Discovered.

1t is often said that the old Phoeni-

murex shell by observing a dog which
had eaten one of the mollusks and
thus colored his chops with a rich pur-

toned to hunt the murex by the as
sistance Of pointer dogs. Some of the
myths say that Heracles by the aid Of
his dog first discovered the purple

tavern, overheard girl In the next
room reading aloud from a play book,
and he was so much pleased by the
sound Of her voice and the fiuency
and sprightliness of her delivery that
he sought acquaintance with her, OBJ
tained her confidence and opened for
her the way to successful dramatic
career. That girl, dramatic genius
thus accidentally discovered, was Anne
Oldfeld, who adorned the English stage
for twenty-five years, whose ashes rest
in the cloister Of Westminster abbey
and whose name Is one Of historic re-
nown.
A theatrical manager in Cincinnati in
the seventies, having planned to pro-
duce a popular comic opera with
chorus composed Of pupils from the
public schools, selected Sarah Frost,
then girl about twelve, perceived her
theatrical aptitude and provided the
opportunity for its development. The
manager was Robert e. J. Miles, and
under his direction she made her first
appearance on the stage and passed
her juvenile novitiate.
Her stage name at first was Fanny
Brough. Later she adopted that of
Julia Marlowe. - William Winter in
