A Bankers Problem

For some years the national bank

reduce or altogether eliminate over
drafts from the institutions under
their control and a letter issued by
them, last January, says, among
other things this practice should
cease entirely" The local banks
have been willing enough to cooper
ate in me-matter but each bank had
few customers who had been al

them, without giving offense, that
they could no longer do so. In this
particular feature of the baking bust
ness the Nationals have had bur-

that no one thought of overdrawing
their Savings Bank Deposits and that
there was no logic for expecting any
greater liberty with a checking &C.

drawn accounts, probably the first
time their books have been entirely
free of debit balances for rs years.

SAW THEMSELVES IN MOVIES
Exhibition at vassar College That
Caused Much Laughter Among
the Student Body.

The students of Vassar college had
an opportunity the other day to see
how we'll they would appear as mo-
ton picture actresses, says a Pough-
keepsie dispatch to the New York
Tribune. They attended q show and
saw themselves on the screen.
The pictures displayed were taken
by Prof. George Burbank Shattuck,
head Of the geology department. They
included features of last years class
day, Founders day and the recent if
tieth anniversary, such as the pag-
cant, the gymnastic exhibition and the
acadamic procession.
There was much laughter in the au-
dience, which was composed mostly
Of the actresses" Frequently such
outbursts occurred as Gracious! Did
l look like that" "Oh, look! Here
l GOMEZ"
One girl exclaimed: Heavens!
never knew my belt was unpinned!"
Another walled: why didn't l look
at the camera. SO l could see my
self"
The pictures will be exhibited be-
fore Vassar college alumnae associa-
tions all over the country. The pro-
ceeds will go toward the 100000 en-
dowment fund.

THE NEW Y EAR.

A friend stood at the door;
In either tight.closed hand
Hiding rich gifts, three hundred and
three score;
Waiting to strew them daily DER the
land,
Each drop he treads in it, and passes
by;
Even as the sower.
1t cannot be made fruitful till it die.
Friend, come thou like a friend
And whether bright thy face,
Or dim with clouds we cannot compre.
bend,
Wen hold our patient hands, each in
his place,
And trust thee to the end;
Knowing thou Ieadest onward TO those
spheres
Where there are neither days, nor
months, NOR years.
Miss Mullock, in this beautiful poem
gives our ideas better than we can ex-
press them. The idea OF each dpv be.
ing a gift, hidden from us until It's
hour comes, is a pretty thought So
many gifts, so much time to use for
either profit or loss, and SO many hands
are held out eagerly for the coming
days, looking for them to bring happi-
ness, or gain OF some kind The spirit
sometimes grows faint before the I'M
known future, consequently 1t is enough
to take one day at time and try to
make that good. 1t is hard enough
even then and sometimes it 3 best to
60 hour by hour.

Busy Bulgarian City.

Varna, the Bulgarian Black sea-
port which the Russian feet lombard
ed, has the unusual distinction OF be-
ing fortress, seaport, a depart
mental capital, and an episcopal city.
It's industries include brewing, distill-
ing. tanning. clothmaking. and cotton
spinning. The city has been identi-
fed with an ancient Milesian colony,
that Of Odessus. Of the lower Moesian
coast. In late days 1t figured promi-
nently in history in connection with
the battle fought near by, in which
Sultan Murad II slew Vladislaus iii
Of Poland and Hungary, and routed
his army in 1444, ten years before the
Turks took Constantinople. In re-
cent years 1t has been successfully
in the hands Of the Russians, Of the
Crimean allies, and OF Egyptian
troops. BY the treaty OF Berlin It
was coded to Bulgaria.
