should be arrested and tried and put on

A Mean Trick.
At the State Medical conven-
ltion in St. Louis last week. Dr.
Donelan, of St, Joseph, told the
reporter of the Globe Democrat
the following story. He said :
oAfter the adjournment of a
conyention a few years ago, Drs.
Knight and Riley, of St. Joseph,
started home in a sleeper. They
had the lower berth end the
weather was intensely hot. ~Dr.
Knight was a very small man; in
fact a boy in stature. Dr. Riley
was big and fat. Knight was
given the inside ef the berth and
went to sleep. Riley, with his
load of avoirdupois, sat on the
edge of the berth and fanned
himself. At Herman a lady en-
tered the car and asked for a berth.
She was told that the car was full
ont she insisted saying that she
had set up with a sick daughter
for five nights, and had to have
sleep. Suddenly an idea struck
Riley. oTake my, berth,T he said.
oThere is only nim little boy in-
side.T Knight was sleeping
peacefully and the lady ogladly |
accepted RileyTs offer. About
an hour later Kuight awoke and
made a remark to whom he sup-
posed was Riley. ~Neyer mind,
little boy, said the old lady,
soothing, ~pappy will be back
pretty soon.T A jittle later Knight
~again began to talk and the old
lady again attempted to lull him
to sleep by promising pappayTs
early return. But the little doc-
tor thistime awoxe. The scene
that followed it would take some
tume to relate.� !

A Perfect Baitk President.
accomplishment, no physical ad-
vantage which may not contribute
to the success of the head of a bank.
The friends he made at college a
generation back, his associations at
the club, on his. vacation, even in
his church, are factors used with
consummate skill and the native
courtesy which characterizes the
higher types of successful business
;men. There is no quality of alert-
ness or adaptability which does not
aidin the work of making friends
for the bank"i. e., depositors, A
perfect bank president should be
} onewho can hold his own with zest
and yet with dignity among the
roistering class of Wall street men
in their late suppers at the club, who
ean shoot with them, fish with
them, drive with them, and who
can also impress the staid and strait-
laced citizens who are his fellow
vesirymen as a pillar of respecta-
bility."C. D. Lanier in ScribnerTs.

Hundreds have visited the little
