Schwab's Home Made a Hit.

Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting "for election of directors and inspectors of election of Madrid Bank and for such other busi­ness as may properly he considered, will be held at its office in the town of Madrid, N. Y.t on Tuesday, the 11th day of January, 1921, at 2 o'clock p. m.

Dated December 21, 1920. A. D. WHITNEY,

. President.

Charles M. Schwab had an old friond from Pittsburgh pay him a visit. The PennsylvarUan, a steel puddler, cr.mo in leather boots, flannel shirt and a broad-brimmed felt hat. says the Phil­adelphia Ledger. Mr. Schwab person­ally escorted him through his marble palace, at Fifty-tblrd-atreet and River­side Drive, with dignified pauses be­fore the paintings and various works of art with which the interior is stud­ded. He even had his private organ­ist finger off a special program on the great organ in honor ot the viaitor. In­cidentally, Mr. Schwab's favorite mu­sical composition is "The Rosary."

"What do you think of my place?" aaked the steel king when everything had been seen.

Replied the viaitor: "I tell you. Char­ley, it ia one swell dump!"

That reminds one of the remark of tho aged Pittsburgher on the top of a Fifth Avenue 'bus when riding past the late Andrew Carnegie's huge mar­ble residence:

"Andy surely haa carved himself a mean hut."

The suggestions^hat the Soviets are seeking diplomatic recognition takes no account of the fact that the Soviets most of all just now are seeking a chance to rest. s

Now that photographs may be sent by wire, suspicious wlvea will have less difficulty in locating their errant husbands away on business trips.

Speaking of propaganda In history, has there ever been a history that was not affected by intentional or unin­tentional biaa, national, or personal to the historian?
