An entirely new kind of bank note, printed
III colors instead of the black and white of the
Bank of England notes, is being prepared for
issue by the Bank of Scotland The promise to
pay in the body of the note is surrounded on
two of its sides by a broad ornamental band,
and on the other two sides by border in which
the value of the note is printed great number
of times On one border the seal and counter
seal of King William III, of Scotland. are printed
in brown on yellow ground, and between them
the royal arms on blue ground On the
upper border are the arms of the bank in brown
Oh yellow ground, with the date of the estab-
lshment of the hank, 1896. The chief novelty
on the new note is in its colors, which will, of
course make reproduction by photography i'm
possible, and, it is believed will prevent forgery
The paper which the new note is printed is
made by the same firm as produces the Bank of
England note paper.

HUMOR OF THE DAY.

Now lovers fond in leafy lanes
Together walk;
And Corydon exerts his pains
While Phyllis coy 10 listen deigns.
And suffers him
To talk.
Though poor, the youth protests he loves
Her as his life.
They'll live he swears. like turtle doves.
He begs her, squeezing tight her gloves
To be his own
Dear wife.
But Phyllis has richer beau.
In loves ways deft.
Next day he comes his fate TO know;
Shes going to scoop him in and So
Poor CORY dear
Gets left.

II do, replied; but when later.

Sign and Client.
Macon Telegraph.

There is young lawyer in the city who once
practiced the profession in Atlanta. In front of
his door hung brand new sign, bearing the gilt
inscription that told his occupation. The young
lawyer sat in his Office for two months and not
single client called After many days of weary
waiting the Young attorney finally concluded
that there was something wrong about his sign.
Acting upon a mental suggestion he took the
sign down one night and beat it until the letter
ing was quite faint and then replaced it. A very
good practice followed.
