were important changes noted, from which IT appears
that the grecubacs locked up at the beginning of the

banks are receiving literally from their interior cor
respondents and this conUces TO lower range OF rates

"Too Good Company for Me-

II was one evening last summer,
when lady, who belongs on the
editorial staff of one of the leading
daiIies of New York, had been de-
tanned by office duties until rather
a late hour. Living on the Nights,
in Brooklyn, but a short dis
lance from Fulton Ferry, it was
not much of q venture to go home
without an escort, and so she start
ed On the boat, standing outside
enjoying the refreshing breeze after
the days toll, she perceived gen.
TENANCY in rather close proximity
to where she was leaning over the
guards, but said nothing. Are you
alone?" said be, as the boat neared
the slip. "No, sir" said the lady,
and without further interruption,
when the boat touched, she stepped
of. 81 thought you were not alone,
said the fellow, stepping to her side
again, IL am moi" replied the lady.
"Why, don't see any one-who is
with your "God Almighty and the
angels sir; I'm never alonel" You
keep too good company for me,
Madam-good night and he shot
for Fulton avenue car, then nearly
block away. The heroic woman
was permitted to "keep to ther right as
the law directs" and enjoy that full
measure of satisfaction one always
feels from keeping good company

Old farmer Smith came home In milf
From bis field the other day,
While his sweet little wife, the pride Of his lif4
Al her wheel was spinning away.
Aud ever anon a gay little song
with the buzz OF ner wheel kept time;
And the wrathful brow is clearing now,
Under the cheerful rhyme.
"Come, come little TUX put away your work,
And listen 70 what say
What can do but quarrel brew
With the man across the away

To lay a single rail;

And shame such thoughts out Of the fellow"
They built up bis part, and sent to his heart
Loves dart, where the good mellow.
That very same night, by the candlelight,
They opened, with interest, letter;
Not "a word was there, but three greenbacks fair
