I{ has often been said that the wonder of oar business life is not that so many clerks commit embezzlement, but that so few who have much responsibility and little remuneration resist temptation to be otherwise and remain honest and faithful. A clerk who was employed in the office of an express company was charged at Chicago on 19th July with stealing £2OOO. He frankly admitted his guilt, but pleaded, that the constant sight and handling of huge sums of money had tempted him beyond hie powers of resistance. It transpires that for some considerable time past an average of £200,000 has passed through liis hands every day, and that he was in receipt of a salary of '£ll a month. A plea for leniency on Hie ground of exceptional temptation max advanced, and it had the effect of getting him a merely nominal punishjnenfr—a few months in prison. After i uny decades of enmity, Mexicins r::! Americans have at last become . oil friends,'and amongst the na- ' • ■makers breezy "Big Bill" Taft, who las succeeded Theodore Roosevelt as President, has done much to cement the friendeh'i i>f the North and the South. It ■was decided to celebrate the entent< cordiale at an international gathering to J>e held during the present month. When the organisers came to arrange tlie details for the meeting of the two democratic monarchs President Diaz and President Taft—a peculiar position arose. It is against the law for either President to leave his country during bis term of office. But there is a w.iy over most difficulties, and the Americans found it in this case. The meeting Will take place on a bridge over the Rio Grande connecting EI Paso (Texas) with Juarez (Mexico). A grandstand will be erected in the centre of the! bridge, with the boundary line of the two countries marked down the centre. The Presidents will shake hands across this line, and will then eit side by side, each in his own country, while the commemorative programme is carried out. PILES RAPIDLY CURED.
