Rev. La Rowe, commenting on the fear entertained by darkies for dead people, cites an exception. It was while he was chaplain of the Florida state penitentiary. A colored convict died and was awaiting burial. An other convict took the corpse from the box, buried it under lot of cement that was stored in the same building, and got into the box himself. An other darky came with horse and cart to haul the dead man to the burial ground. The coffin was loaded in. When near the burial place, out side the prison wall, the fake corpse slipped out of the coffin and into the woods. He never was caught.
 Tourists play strange antics and voice peculiar ideas sometimes. Some of them when they meet conditions they are not used to are absolutely helpless. Others are too confident, which is about as bad. Every native knows that if one breaks down on one of our roads, far from help, the safest and wisest thing IS usually to sit tight until someone comes along who can help or will send help.
 An instance of tourists foolishneSs occurred several years ago when Guy Sykes started with four women for Grand Canyon. Thirty miles out they broke an axle. Guy said that someone would be along in a few min utes and pick them up. Nothing doing on that waiting stuff. ''WeT walk back to Flagstaff" they declar- ed. "But it's thirty miles," said Guy. "Well, what of it," they wanted to know. eve can walk six miles an hour and in five we'll be there" "Now then" Guy retorted, "wny don't you walk ten miles an hour so you'll get there in three hours?"
 This question irritated them. They insisted he take the lead, with ham, mer that chanced to be in the car. They told him they expected him to brain any large animals that might offer to modest them. They had walk ed about 200 wards when a car came along and picked the women up and took them on to the canyon.

 According to geologists, a single leaf of the moss that grows on the malpaiS and other rock around Flag stall and all through this country of extinct volcanoes takes a hundred years to grow. A single cluster takes several hundred years. This, consid- cred with the old adage, "a rolling stone gathers no moss," leads to re- flection. For our part, we prefer to roll.
 An old-timer was telling the other day about an experience several years ago with porcupine. The Indians had been pretty bad, and several whites had been killed. The old-timer and two others were camped near where they had reason to believe there were hostile Indians. It was a very dark night. About ten o'clock they heard talking in an unknown language. It sounded like several persons, for there were at least a dozen tones to be distinguished. The sounds constantly drew nearer. The campfire was hastily smothered and the three whites crouched behind stones. Presently the invaders seem- ed to have reached big log a short distance away. Followed sounds as if they were making a sort of fort be- hind it, the talk gradually diminish ing, but being renewed at intervals. Daylight found a haggard trio of white men, expecting a fight, perhaps death. No Indians in sight. After much delay there was a faltering in- vestigation. They found a porcupine. He had done all the talking and the other noises he made were in gnawing through a corner of a wooden box containing bacon.
 The porcupine is known among woodsmen as the friend of man. In Wisconsin there is a fine of $500 for needlessly killing one. Their value is in their slowness of movement, which makes them easily killed with q club and, therefore of great value as food to a person lost in the woods.

Fifth Avenue Institution Is
Second Absolved Within
Last Few Months: Plan
New Chain Of Banks

Plans of the Chatham and Phenix Ma
tional Bank for acquiring control of
the Union Exchange National Bank, at
295 Fifth Avenue. have been consum-
mated. according to an announcement
yesterday by Louis G. Kaufman, presi-
dent of the former institution
The Chatham and Phenix branch at
Twenty-third Street and Fifth Avenue
has been transferred to the new
quarters Of the Union Exchange Ma

under consideration for several months,
but has just been closed by the trans
fer of several large blocks of Union
Exchange stock to Mr.. Kaufman and
his associates.
The Chatham and Phenix National
Bank has capital, surplus and profits
of over $20,000,000, and aggregate de-
posits of $3.50, 100000. The Union Ex-
change National has a capital of ST.

gives the Chatham and Phenix total re-
sources of $200,000,O0t
The enlargement Of the scope of the

with the policy of Mr.. Kaufman with
respect to his ideas of having branche 8

change National is the second insti-
tuition which has been absorbed during
the past few months, the other having
been the New York County National

Business Failures
In First Half Year
Reach New High
Figures for the Second
Quarter and Month of
June, However, Indicate
a Steady Improvement

Although June business failures were
the smallest in number since last Sep
tember and liabilities were the lightest
since October, 1920. and although the
second quarter Of this year showed a
decidedly favorable contrast with the
first quarter, the totals for the half
year ended June 80 constitute new high
records in "Bradstreet's" history Of
failures.
evidences of continuance Of strain
in business" says the report, "are
found in the high proportion of assets
to liabilities reported In the first half
Of the year, which have been exceeded
only twice in period of forty-three
years"
There were 1856 failures in June, a
decrease of ST per cent from the May
total and 40 per cent from the peak Of
last January, but 10 per cent in excess
were S38,412,782, decrease of 90 per
cent from May and 80 per cent from
June year ago. The improvement
noted in the last three months is
shown by the fact that failures in the
second quarter, which totaled 5,3s5,
were % per cent below those of the
first quarter and 12 per cent below the
first quarter in 1915, although 80 per
cent more than the second quarter of
1921 and the fourth largest quarterly
total ever recorded.
The half years total of 12,476 was
81 per cent larger than the same pc
riod last year and 16 per cent greater
than the first half Of 1915 and more
than four times the totals for the first
halves of 1919 and 1920. Liabilities
were $3e4,171,740, a gain of 19 per cent
over last year and five times the 1919
showing. New York City had 1857
failures in the first half, an increase of
45 per cent over last year.

Prepared for Event.
The following description is Of last
years egg rolling:
Young Washington had been pre-
pairing for the event for some time.
The news and the invitation from
the President and Mrs. Harding had
reached them through the press and
the mysterious but effective under.
ground wires of childhood.
Long before 9:30 a. H., when the
White House gates were scheduled to
be open, a long line of impatient chill
dren had gathered in front of them.
Promptly on the stroke of the appoint
ed hour they swung open and a wild
whoOp rent the air. 1t was true.
There had been no mistake, and in
that moment Warren G. Harding be-
came the children's President, with
Mrs. Harding the good fairy that the
little ones believed had suggested and
made their Joy day possible.
Before many minutes the grounds
were dotted with children seeking the
advantageous spots for the sport of
the day-egg rolling. The scene pre-
sented in its vivid cOlOring, heightened
by multitude of toy balloons. huge

the children of the cabinet watched
the scene from the south pOrtico Of the

children, each with bright-hued and

several deaconesses.

had to overlook faults in little ones

The tiny guests formed a line in

before IL o'clock in the expectation
that the President and Mrs. Hard

be the big moment Of the big day.

appear on the scene was "Laddie
