"Let's See, What's Your Name."-The
| fellow who wrote the following had O death like
| grip on the Situation :" SIN nine cases out of
ten when a man has to ask the above question he
would rather SEQ his last cent roll down q crack
| than do it. But it is asked every day in banks
and other business places-and printing Offices.
A man who keeps an account comes into the bank
other business place, and the cashier smilingly
says, well old fellow, how are youY and holds
out his hand for shake. The man has done bus
mess there often and the cashier knows him like
a book. But pretty soon the man asks to have
| something done which requires q knowledge of
his name by the cashier, and the latter finds
| that he's stuck. The cold chills begin to run
! down his back, and he feels as though he would
like to be alone minute so as he could kick him
! SELF He would know the name if be were to see
it, and he begins to 60 through the books in the
hope of coming across it, but it eudes him every
time, and finally in desperation, he turns around
with sheepish look on his face and says: Lets
see-what is your name Ever afterward there is
q certain degree of GOODNESS between these two
men, But some business men are sharp. When
they get stuck on name they will ask the Gus
toner to please spell it, at the same time remark
ing that they believe it is not spelled correctly
on the books. If the man happens to spell
Smith, the questioner feels bad, but that don't
happen often. Other business men say boldly:
Your name has slipped my memory Brown,
comes the reply. ooh, know, mean your first
name,' and by this subterfugea great deal of pain
and worry and bad feeling can be avoided. Pub
fishers have their own times with their Names
They carry thousands of names on their books
and most subscribers expect to be recognized
They know the editor, and it doesn't strike them
that it's hardly possible for him to know all of
them. He does know their faces well enough,
perhaps, and tries to think of their names, but
the effort is usually fruitless. The subscriber, as
rule says Il wish to pay my subscription If
he adds James Graham, Sumerhill,' the editor
feels like giving him the paper free for one year."

tral.-Mr John G. Wrenshall, who was appoint
