give up his position.
There is divergence of opinion as

/ bank, at the behest of the intente,
! has been converted into a strictly
autonomous institution, thereby re-
moving it from governmental inter-

The village Of Churt, on the Hamp-

where Mr.. Lloyd George has recently
built his new home, Is the scene Of a
quaint legend. The name Of the vii

with gorse, broom. and bracken, and
on the common are three curious conf

Jumps" The legend ran that If one
of the inhabitants knocked on a great
stone on one of these hills and asked
for the loan of any utensil. he would
be sure to find the thing he asked
for waiting for him on reaching home.
But it was necessary condition Of

He Is thing of many memories

his only reward, aside from lingering
love and esteem, is summer vacation
spent in the attic where 1t Is probably
not less than 100 degrees during the
entire period.
But he drags himself out Of his
cache with a somewhat bedraggled
sort Of smile and promises to do the
best he can for another term, If we
will only send him to the shop for
bit of polishing.
"You certainly haven't the crust to
send me out on the streets looking like
this !" we can imagine him exclaiming,
"Tm perfect sight!"
Good old Bennie-the one garment,
perhaps, that is never thrown away!
When he becomes too dissolute and
disreputable even for us, we pass him
on to the Salvation army, or some good
distributing agency. and his service
continues. His pride Is not consulted
in such transfer poor old thing. Like
the crack fire horse of yore, who now
