Career in New York.
The New York career Of the man
who was to figure SO prominently in
its financial district began in 1855.
when young Dawson. then twenty
one years old. went to that city from
Troy. Pa. where he was born on June
10. 1867. Unable to find a position
in New York. he went to Bridgeport.
Conn.,, where he started work as a
| bank messenger. Three years later
he was back in the city of his dreams
and was made paying teller of the
Aston Place Bank.
One day a stranger came to Mr.. Da-
Visions window with a note for $1,000
| In one hand and a revolver in the
other. The note read:
"Astor Place Bank. They promise
to pay to the order of Almighty God
the sum of $1,000 when presented by
Charles Freeman. Penalty. il for
feited, DEATH"
Mr.. Dawson. smiling and imper-
| turbable, calmly remarked: You Will
have to be identified"
Bank detectives pounced upon the
intruder before he could fire a shot.
Then the teller resumed his work as
though nothing had happened.
Elevated by Baker.
Mr.. Dawson soon attracted the az
tention Of George F. Baker. president
of the First National Bank, who. in
1894, made him vice president of that
bank. He was president of it when he
became a member of the Morgan firm.
At that time also he was a director OF
the National Bank of Commerce and
of about forty other financial and in
dustrial institutions. These included
the Bankers Trust Company, the
First Security Company, the Amert-
can Foreign Securities Company, the
New Jersey and New York Railroad
Company and the Southwestern De-
velopment Company.
He also was treasurer, as well as
trustee. of the American Museum OF
Natural History and treasurer of the
National Institute of Social Sciences.
Some persons in Wall street consid-
cred him to be the most active man
in the house Of Morgan. He had vast
re responsibilities. but he never seemed
hurried and never showed excitement.
Mr.. Davison's wife was Miss Kate
Trubee of Bridgeport. Conn. They
have three children-Henry P. Davi-
son, IT., and the Misses Alice T. and
Frances Dawson. Their home is at

our train has to travel at the rate Of sixteen

cause the benches on which we sit are so
closely placed as TO allow practically nothing

MATCHING PET DOGS AND HUSBANDS

age to put himself on the scale in a net con-

Did Mrs Blank or Mrs Smith pic, her dog
with one eye on her husband? Obviously she
did not. Did she even consult her husband?
Did the populace have anything to saw?
Crepe you WILL there is but on reply posi-
bic. Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Blank acted on her
own initiative. She saw the cute little thing
when it was pup, took five minutes off for
hysterlcal delight another five minutes to
disengage her powder puff from the currency

session Of her pet. And Mr.. Blank, Mr. Smith
found it at home when he arrived that night
Such haphazard methods are all wrong
They are wrong aesthetically and thew are
wrong practically. Little as one may think it,
the most frghtfu consequences may follow the
lack of harmony between dog and wfe's bet

Take some Of our statesmen down in Wash

Webster-like Senator were matched up with

say if John Sharp Williams were seen on
Pennsylvania Avenue leading or being led by
a pedigreed spaniel? What would Idahoans
say if Bill Borah were sped leading a poodle
around? Would not their usefulness as law
makers and authorities on leagues of nations
and tariff bills and other things vanish in
stanty? On the other hand, what Mississippi
plans bosom would not swell with pride and
what Idahoan's heart would not beat faster if
he heard that John Sharp Bill had adopted
a stray cur from nei2hboring lumber yard?

Mr.. Jones, the broker, to walk a shepherd
while the Rev. Dr. Brown, the eminent clergy
man, is obliged because of matrimonial choice,
to care for bloodhound? Think of the moral
effect upon Mr. Jones and Mr.. Brown. Think
of the publc's reaction to such errors of mis-
matching.
One may ask why the husband doesn't as
sert his rights and select the family dog HIM
self. These are two answers: first, because
he hasn't any rights in this matter, and second,
if he had his way about it the family would
be dogless. No man will deliberately put his
head into a moose, neither will member
of the male group pick something that re-
quires so much airing. If he had to choose a
pet his would be toad because of that
animals ability to remain in close quarters
thousand years or so without air, light, heat
or water. However, no man who has wife is
going to bring toad into his home, so he
denies himself the privilege of owning pet in
his own right. In fact, it isn't necessary for
him to own He can get the same effect
merely by choosing a wife. The dog will come
sooner or later.
If poll were taken of the dog owners of
New York, how many would be found to be
men? There may be few, but it's ten to
one shot that every one of them has a reason
why the title is in his name. He is merely
n sort of holding corporation for the real --ye
stock owner. When it comes right down to
brass lacks the only thirte he really has to do,
with the pup is to air it. He can't sell it or
give it away assassnate it or accidentally
permit it to jump into the dog wagon without
endangering the whole structure of his mari
tai edifce. He has got to hang on to it as long
as his wife hangs to him.
