USURY SHYLOCKS
They Are Winked At in London If They
Have Titled Protection
One of the most extraordinary fea
tures of the recent promissory note
trial which necessitated the flight from
England of Lord William Neville the
blackleg sou of the ultra respectable
and respected Marquis of Abergavenny
was the extraordinary and even tender
courtesy and consideration with which
the celebrated money lender Sam Lew
Is was treated by every one judge
counsel and the press The latter was
loud in its denunciations of usury at
the time of the parliamentary investi
gation into the money lending abuses a
few months ago and no abuse was con
sidered too strong for the cent-per-cent
gentry But here during the promissory
note trial we find Sam Lewis confess
ing to having charged the trifle of 8
000 a year interest on a loan of 15
000 spoken of by every one as a bill
discounter of the utmost respectabil
ity who has been in business at the
same old stand for thirty years and
who has never yet incurred any kind
of reproach In fact the proceedings
in court and the utterances of news
papers seein to imply that Lord Will
iam had been far more reprehensible
in swindling Sam Lewis than in get
ting the better of his fellow officer Mr
Clay
Yet it must be borne in mind that
according to the laws of the land usury
is a crime punishable by imprisonment
But then it is not every usurer who
has titled backers and who has the
honor of dining two or three times a
year where the Prince of Wales is the
principal guest dinners which usually
are given by his sporting friend Sir
Frederick Johnstone It probably is
due to these royal and titled acquaint
ances of Sam Lewis that he was the
only one of the great usurers who was
not summoned to give evidence by the
Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry
into Usury last summer Chicago
Record
Married Couples Ages
A statistician has published the re
sults of his investigation of the rela
tive ages of husbands and their wives
in the various capitals of Europe He
discovered that marriages are more fre
quent where the husband is two or
three years older than the wife Wo
men under twenty years of age how
ever usually take unto themselves hus
bands six or seven years older than
themselves The cases in whicli the
man was a year younger than the wo
man were almost as numerous as those
in which he was six or seven years
older The first condition was true of
G7 per cent of all married couples and
the latter condition of G4 per cent The
cases where the husband was six or
seven years younger than the wife were
almost as numerous as those where he
was thirteen or fourteen years older
Only two cases were discovered where
the husband was thirty five years the
senior one case where he was forty
six years older and one case where he
was the older by forty seven years
One case was discovered where the
wife was thirty four years older than
the husband Twelve and three
tenths per cent of all men who marry
women under twenty years of age ac
cording to the statistician are between
twenty six and twenty seven years old
HUMAN NATURE LIKES PET
This Is Especially True of Human Na
ture that Goes Into Camp
They call them mascots in the lan
guage of the camp The word is the
cover for the expression of the soldiers
affections The brawny Missourian
carrying about in the hollow of his arm
a half grown rabbit and occasionally
touching it with a caress so delicate
that the shy creature forgets to shrink
hasnt any thought of luck to come
from the possession He has found
something which affords a vent for the
sympathetic and emotional of his na
ture You cant take a young Ameri
can volunteer away from home and so
cial surroundings and make of him in
a week a machine to fight and kill It
is human nature for the regiments to
have pets and the fresher from home
the command the more In number and
extravagant in character the pets by
misnomer called mascots The Mis
sourians who received from the hjds
of a little girl at Athens O her rabbit
as they came through to Camp Alger
have preserved it and tamed it until
the bunny hops among the tents and
refuses all opportunities to escape The
self appointed guardians take it out in
the woods to pasture on the tenderest
grass and it hops back to camp with
a loyalty to its possessors which is
wonderful
As Interesting as the lavish expres
sion of the soldiers sentiments toward
their pets is the appreciative response
of the brute creation to the enforced
adoption There doesnt seem to be
any representative of animal creation
which will not take kindly to camp
life and to men In uniform after the
first strangeness wears off Of course
the mascot dog Is the head of the list
There Is in canine disposition a liking
for vagabondage which answers quick
ly to the Invitation WThen the volun
teers visit Washington for a day off
the dogs follow them back to camp
The higher the strain of blood the
more luxurious the home kennel of
the dog the more willing he seems to
be to quit his comforts and enlist with
the soldiers at a snap of the fingers or
an encouraging look You may see on
the curbstone in Washington a group
of soldiers gathering streugth for the
long tramp to Georgetown and over
the aqueduct bridge to the Falls
Church electric cars Beside them will
squat the foxhound of costly pedigree
looking up in their faces with admira
tion and confidence And when the
soldiers slowly get upon their feet and
move off the dog follows with an air
of Whither thou goest I will go St
Louis Globe Democrat
Golf can positively be traced in Scot
tish histoi y to 1457 and it is believed
to have been played much earlier than
that date
A Wonderful Mineral
There is a wonderful mineral found
in Iceland that possesses the strange
property of producing two images of a
single object On looking through it at
a pencil for instance you will see two
pencils both of which will be clearly
defined The mineral is translucent
and crystal like and goes by the name
of Iceland spar The mine in which it
is found is located on the eastern coast
of Iceland and Is controlled by the
Danish Government The spar is ex
ceedingly valuable owing to its many
uses in the sciences particularly for
the manufacture of optical instruments
and for experiments in polarization
