A Strange Story.

"Not long ago. says the London
Daily Telegraph. :" a well-known collec
tor OF curioSities in Paris, who had de
voted considerable sum Of money to the
gathering together of bank notes Of all
countries and all values. became the
posseSsor of a Bank Of England five
pound note, to which an unusually
strange story was attached. This note
was paid into a Liverpool merchants
Office in the ordinary way of business
Gl wears ago. and its recipient, the
cashier Of the firm, while holding it up
to the light to test its genuineness no.
ticed some faint red marks upon il
which, on closer examination, proved to
be semi -etfaced words, scrAWlea in hlpnd
between the printed lines and npon the
blank margin of the note. Eyiraor-
dinary pains were taken to 0eciphrr
these partly 0hlitcTatpd characters, and
eventually the following sentence WAS
made on If this note should fall into
the hands of john Dean Of Long Hill,
near Carlisle, he will learn hereby that
his brother is, ,languishing prisoner in
Algiprs." nv. Dean was promptly COM
mnncated with Ivy the hO!tler of the
note, and he appealed to the government
of the day of assistance in his en5leavor
to obtain his brothers release from cap
tivity. The prisoner, who as it suisse
Quentiy appeared, had traced the above
sentence lpOn the note with Il splinter
of wood dipped in his own blood, had
been slave 10 the Dey Of Algers for
eleven years, when his Strange niiSsive
first attracted attention in a Liverpool
counting h0usr. His family and friends
had long believed him dead. Eventually
his brother, with the aid of the British
authorities in the Mcditerranean, ste
ceeded in ransOming him fr0m the Dey,
and brought him home to England,
where. however, he did not long sur
yive his release, his constitution having
been irreparahly injured by exposure,
privations and forced labor in the Dey's
galleys.

4 Monument 30 Adam.

The citizens Of ElmilA are about 10
erect monument 10 Adam. Their
committee says in their report:
at is cause for shame and Indlgna-
tjou to every human being thai this
recoguition has been so long delayed.
The world is filled with monuments TO
men who have conferred benefits upon
their kind, yet he to whom the hannah
race owes the first and highest OF ali
blessings eristence, suffered m"rtIty!nG
neglect. Without him no man had en-
tered heaven. Shall We build monu-
ments to foreign spies, and none t"
him who gave US heaven9 Let the
world be ungrateful still, it's her affair
Elmira will act q better part"
Well, now, people may differ with the
good folks of Elmira upon the necessity
of Adams recognition rs the benefactor
of the human race. 1t has been sug-
eested that he didn't set the best OF
examples to his progeny by succumbinE
to the first temptation. And that 1t
wasn't altogether manly 70 put the
blame of the whole business on Eve.
"The woman gave me Of the tree and |
did eat"
There are men too in the world who
don't think the mere fact Of crlstence,
worth the trouble and expense OF Il
monument, and who contend that If
Adam gave the chances of heaven to
his sons, he also introduced them to a
hotter climate and the mole Of thelt
respected ancestor they have III them
the more certain they are 10 get there.
We used to be taught to " "crlcity the
old Adam,' showing that the old gen
tleman was considered II mighty sinner
and now we are called dtrelict t. duty
if we don't help to lay the corner stont
of the great monument over which The

r. was a beautiful morning after the
storm had tempted the heat, and crea-
tion seemed to awake from a sluml,tr
refreshed. The train on the O. and NJ.
road came thuudeiine into the city
making graceful curves under, the
green trees which ovtrshadoWed the
line. 4 city gentleman who had been
over the river recreatins was sitting IN
a forward coach dreaming OF the cool
days he had spent in the country, ana
dreatlinc the heat to which he was
going. At crosS-T0ad station long,
sun stained. and shaggy lndlvidual got
on. with dozen eggs tied up IN a Pill
iow-slip. He looked around and sat
down Ivy the man from the city. After
he had paid his fare he commenced on

The ST. Louis man said he didn't, at
the same time drawing out q silver to-
bacco box and taking out few strings
of fine-cut, which the conntry-n1an
eyed with wonderment. The city man
saw his look and astonIshnent and
anxiety, and asked his country friend
to have a chew. -.

ler.' Then he turned TO the window
besides him and expectorated about a

nIose which had been washed Off by
the storm.
The countryman looked around to
see how many people in the car had
seen it, and then turning. to the city
man, who had tried to be calm, he
whispered:

1" Took Fe 0Wlzt!s'

Fred, the porter at the general offices
of the Wisconsin Central. walked into
the shop of q matchmaker from ;. Water
land" with one of the speed recorders
used on that road under bis arm. He
wished to have it repaired. Now, a
speed recorder is nothing more than
clockwork cased in cast-lroD box OF
Decuiiar shape. But it nevertheless IS
a very mysterious looking affair to those
not knowing what it is. In fact Il speed
recorder might readily pass for al in
fernal machine, and no doubt they are
considered as such by all train men who
are obliged to tolerate them On their
trains.
AS has been said, Fred walked into
the watchnaker's, and placing the re-
corder on the counter WAS surprised to
see the old gentleman point toward the
door. Not exactly understanding what
this meant, Fred opened his mouth to
state his erraud, and was still more
astonislled to hear Hans exclaim in a
very determined tone:
Took it owut!"

"Let me show .,ou the clock says
Fred, proceeding to open the box.
"No clock tllere!" replied Hans, |

"Why. yes there is expostu|ated
Fred, ''just look here" and made, a
move to open the box, but Hans headed
him of. Jering an old musket from un-
der the covnter, he leveled it at the
astonished porter aud yelled:
