A HERO AT HOME.
The death of Mayor William S.
MasoD, of Portland, is a reminder
that there are heroes in business life
as well as on ihe field of bat
tle. The Spokesman-Reyiew fays:
Through a high sense of honor, he
died comparatively a poor man.
The circumstance is narrated by the
Oregonian :
"la 1892 he became president of
the Portland National bank. This
institution, because of some unfortu
nate loans, succumbed to the late
financial pain;, but Mr. Mason fctuck
to the ship until the last depositor
was paid in full, sacrificing the great
er part of his personal fortune in
doing so. Through the swindling
operations of the Ainslie Lumber
Company, the bank lost 90 per cent
of its assets, and Mr. Mason used
about $130,000 of his private fortune
to eare the depositors. Only his
high sense of honor and justice
prompted-him to make this sacrifice,
for he was bound neither legally nor
morally to use a dollar of his own
resources to pay the depositors."
Knowledge of the circumstances
is necessary to a full comprehension
of the magnitude of this great sacri
fice. At the time of his death Mayor
Mason was G7 years of age. His
private fortune was tho acquisition
of a lifetime of honorable business
effort. He had reached an age where
his sacrifice meaDt that henceforth
until his death he could not expect
ever again to command an inde
pendent fortune. It involved the
surrender of those fond hopes cher
ished by every hard worker, of a
few years of quiet retirement in the
sunset of life from the rough and
tumble of active business cares.
It is said he was not under moral
obligation to apply his private for
tune to the payment of the depositors
of his bank. But he thought differ
enlty, and he was right, albeit superb
heroism was needed to act on the
loftly conviction.
And why not? A man of character,
integrity and acknowledged business
acumen engages in bankiDg, and
these qualities draw deposits to his
bank. They are the moral assets of
tbe institution, and friends, ac
quaintances and observers bank upon
them.
'A crash comes, and it is disclosed
that his j'idgmrnt of men was at
fault. He had selected incapable or
dibhonest helpers, or he had approved
large loans which proved unsound,
and as a consequence his bank be
comes insolvent, its doors are closed,
and its depositors are about to lose
their hard savings.
There is a moral obligation on
that man to bring up the reserves of
his private fortune. This i3 high
ethics, and few men will live op to
the exalted standard, but 'tis well
the few arc found. They are tbe
balance on "Fortune's wild wheel."
They save civilization from disaster.
Cit'es aie enriched and ; their
histories ennobled by the citizenship
of men like the late Mayor MasoD.
He leaves a beloved and an honored
memory.

VAUNTED FRENCH TITLES.
Some of Them Are Not Worth the
Price of the Card they Are
Printed On. '
The Revue des Revues has been late
ly occupied, in showing that the titles
promenaded by the members oi tne
Jockey club of the Pommss de Terre,
of the Union and of the Rue Royale are
not -worth the cards on which they are
printed; that in France to-day there
does not exist a single solitary prince,
duke or marquis possessed of an au
thentic title. The allegation is inter
esting, particularly so in view' of the
fact that if untrue the collectible dam
ages would be heavy. The Faubourg
Saint-Germain, the mythical home of
this mythical aristocracy, has not, how
ever, demeaned itself with anything &o
uncivil as civil proceedings. But the
Gaulois, its accredited organ, has re
plied that the allegation is unpatriotic,
and that for the delightful reason that,
it is calculated to throw a scare into
the hearts of American girls, who, be
ing heavy consumers, have largely in
creased the national wealth.
The argument has not appealed to
M. Francesque Sarcey. "Should it oc
cur," he says; "should the hour come
when our f prigs of nobilitj- are no long
er bought by exotic quails, I for one
would not weep for grief." M. Sarcey
adds: "The idle descendant of a Cru
sader is a sucking pig. The female
i'ankee is a peacock. What good can
such a couple work? There may have
been unions between them that have
not turned out badly, yet in that case
the parties have been more lucky than
wise." M. Sarcey concludes: "I know
of nothing-less estimable than these
bargains, which are less contracts of
marriage than bills of sale." Collier's
Weekly.
Kitty Witches Row.
Great Yarmouth, in England, has the
narrowest streets in the world. They
are called rows, and are merely nar
row passageways between buildings.
There are 45 of them in all. stretching
in the aggregate more than seven miles
in length. The narrowest of them is
called "Kitty Witches" row. The en
trance to it is but 29 inches in width;
and the other end spans 56 inches. Peo
ple living across from each other can
easily shake hands across the interven
ing space. One reason given or their
construction is that in case of invas
ion, these narrow lanes would prove
invaluable as means of defense. An
other reason suggested is that the high
tides might flow through hese streets
as outlets. Golden Days.
