STRENUOUS BANKING.
Client* F.icad a Cocked Gun While
Handing Over Their Duet
Many years ago gold was discovered
at Hokitika, on tbe west coast of New
Zealand. There was a rush to the
small Maori village, and within a few
weeks seventy vessels, of all rigs and
tonnage, were waltiug to get over tbo
dungerous harbor lair. Tbe author of
“Antlixxlean Notes" describe* tbe first
bank established in the little town.
With the vessels came two agents of
a local bank. Tbelr bank furniture
consisted of a safe, a pair of scales, a
tent and a couple of revolvers. The
two agents set up tbelr tent put tbe
safe in tbe back part aud a plank, laid
across two tree stumps. In front
Tbe bank "staff" sat down behind
tbe plauk; before one man were tbe
scales, a bottle of acid and a note
book; tbe other held a cocked revolver.
Tbe digger brought bls gold to tbe
plank “counter,’’ where it was weigh
ed and tested. When the value wus
determined the testing clerk unlocked
the safe, placed tbe gold in it. brought
out a bundle of dirty banknotes and
handed them to the digger.
During thia transaction tbe clerk
with the revolver looked carefully
about to see if any susplcloua persona
were lurking near.
GOOD ADVERTISING PAYS.
Before You Can Reap a Harvest You
Muat Flrat Sow th* 8**d.
The ordinary newspaper or periodical
reader doesn't dream of tbe potency of
good advertising. One of tbe largest
general advertisers in tbe Uuited
States, If not quite tbe largest, Is a
manufacturer In the Philadelphia met-
ropolitan district
There Is a never ending race at that
plant between the advertising depart
ment and tbe builders. Tbe advertisers
bring tn so much business that tbe
builders are kept busy enlarging the
factory.
Something like $1,000.000 a year la
spent in advertising this company's
output which is a luxury in every
sense. At the present moment orders
for new business are so far ahead of
tbe capacity of the plant that it would
seem a hopeless job ever to catch np.
But the advertisers never relax.
The bead of that great concern now
knows almost better than anybody else
that before you can reap a harvest you
must first sow tbe seed. Tbe advertis
ers are tbe chaps that are doing that—

Where Red Hair Is Disliked.
In Cornwall, particularly tbe Land’s

a person "a red haired Dane,” though
In most parts of England, especially
Inland, tbe expression would as likely
as not provoke no comment at all or be
regarded as simply frivolous.
At a police court case beard tn 1867

evidence that the dofendant bad called
the complainant “a red haired Dane.”
and this led to an assault The strong
