Leiter was born in Chicago in 18G8 and graduated from Harvard in 1S91 He won fame in 1897 as the hero of one of the most noted deals ever transacted on the Chicago board of trade It was re garded as the most daring feat ever performed In the wheat pit Mr Lei ters three sisters all married into the British aristocracy one of them being the late Lady Curzou wife of the for mer viceroy of India For Emergencies A banking reserve Is for use not merely for show It is for use In times of emergency Yet some bankers look upon their reserves very much as the superintendent of a hospital regarded its emergency bed A patient all bang ed up in an accident was brought to the hospital one night and was told that there was no room for him Why not put him In the emergency bed it was suggested If we put him In the emergency bed it was replied thn we would have no emergency bed Wall Street Journal A Clever Scheme Mother examining school report How did you come to have such good marks in arithmetic this week Tom myWell you see it was this way We had ten examples a day and I got the teacher to help me to do five and Eric Jones got her to help him on the other five Then we swapped helps Bee Harpers HUBBY A GREAT HELP TO HER Wife Found Him a Careful Adviser as to Womans Dress It was pleasant to hear Mrs Ham mond speak of her husbands helpful ness in domestic matters and also of his great taste in regard to womans dress Nobody could guess what a help he is to me in choosing my new gowns each year Mrs Hammond said earnestly without really hear ing our conversations A graceless cousin to whom fell the privilege of hearing one of these il luminating conversations said that ever after the peculiar fitness of Mr Hammond for the position of censor remained in her mind William said Mrs Hammond on this memorable occasion I am unde cided between a green and a brown for my winter suit Now I know what youre thinking Youre thinking that I said I was tired to death of brown and so I was and am You think Id better have the green Still said Mr Hammond Certainly said his wife It spots and is more apt to fade perhaps while brown is a more trustworthy color Of course began Mr Hammond Yes of course brown makes me look older assented his wife But how ventured Mr Ham mond But how much smaller I look in brown than in any other color and Mrs Hammond nodded approval And as Im really gaining flesh all the time perhaps Id better not consider the green You dont began the careful ad viser I know I dont look stout to you cried Mrs Hammond but youll feel more at home with me in brown and so its decided just as I thought it would be When one has a husband who is really interested and takes thought about ones dress and sho turned a bright gaze to the visitor it does simplify things so Youths Companion Put End to Volubility Abernethy was supposed to influence people by a brusqueness amounting to absolute rudeness It is related that one day a very voluble lady took her daughter who was ill to see him Which of you two wants to consult me said Abernethy My daughter replied the woman Abernethy then put a question to the girl Before she had a chance to reply her mother began a long story Abernethy told her to be quiet and re peated his question to the girl A second time the Avoman began a story and a second time he told her to be quiet then she interrupted him a third time Put your tongue out he said to the mother But theres nothing the matter with me she- exclaimed Nsver mind put your tongue out he commanded Thoroughly overawed the woman obeyed Now keep it out said Abernethy and he proceeded to examine the girl Grand Magazine Burning Up Old Letters What more distressing occupation can one hit upon than to burn up old letters on a rainy day It is always a wet day one chooses for this feeling rather like a Judas one minute and like Hercules in the Augean stable the next It is positively surnrisinsr tho way letters accumulate especially witn people who are either not methodical enough or too sentimental to ruthlessly destroy letters not of any really permanent value as they are read and answered The gloom and pathos of this occupation are en hanced when it is our painful office to look over and weed out the corre spondence of one dear to us who has journeyed to the bourne whence no traveler returns Certain letters are sacred and should I think if kept be labeled Strictly Private This is a matter which must be considered with reference to the importance of the letters to the happiness of the writers where the disclosure of the contents of a letter would work sor row or wrong to another it had better be destroyed at once So much harm has been done through the careless handling of personal letters so many friends have been estranged that to neglect to destroy a letter is some times almost criminal He Grasped the Idea Tommy said his teacher the words circumstantial evidence occur in the lesson Do you know what cir cumstantial evidence is Tommy re plied that he did not Well I will explain to you by an illustration You know we have a rule against eating apples in school Sup pose some morning I should see you in your seat with a book held up in front of your face I say nothing but presently I go round to where you are sitting You are busily studying your lesson but I find that your face is smeared while under the edge of your slate I see the core of a freshly eaten apple I should know just as well as if I had caught you at it that you had been eating an apple although of course I did not see you do it That is a case in which circumstantial evi dence convicts you Do you know what it is now Yes maam said Tommy Its eating apples in school Youths Companion Still Who Knows7 In the old days in England they slit noses and cropped ears My my I could never go in for such styles F Corn is Looking Fine In fact the best stand we ever saw and potatoes are equally as good It is certainly a pleasure to see the corn fields free

pub lic meetings as well as for the admin istration of justice by the consuls and other Roman magistrates Later on when the fora numbered some eight een or twenty they were divided into two classes some for public meetings and the proceedings of the law courts and others for the various require ments of trade The Roman forum corresponded to the agora or market place of the Greeks and no Roman city was without this Important center of judicial political and commercial life New York American Time She Began It was on a Sixth avenue surface car A woman sat with her little daughter who to all
