THE WHITE PLUG HAT.
One Containing Bank Checks Acct
dentalfy Taken by a Man Who
did not Own 1t.

1t Is strange how careless some people
are about money. In q Chicago boarding
house there are two gentlemen who are
slightly acquainted with each other. One
Is merchant and the other is an insur-
ance agent. There is nothing peculiar
about them and the only point of resem-
blance is the fact that they both wear
white plug hats Of the same size A few
mornings since they were both Mt break
fast, when the insurance agent saw drive
up before the house gentleman who
wished to make out policy In his COM
pany. He hastily left the table, took from
the hatrack what he supposed was his
hat, and stepped to the curb. The policy
was handed over and the agent received
checks to the amount Of 600. Not hav-
ing his pocket book with him he tucked
the checks inside the lining of the hat.
re-entered the house, hung up the hat and
finished his coffee. The merchant arose
about that time. put on his hat and left
for the office. When he arrived there he
placed his hat on the table, and as he did
so casually glanced into it. He saw pro-
truding from the lining the corner of
check. He drew out the checks for 81, GOO.
Now see what imagination will do. He
looked the hat all over "Aha," said he,
81 thought there was something the mat
ter with this hat. This isn't my hat
felt all morning that it didn't fit me.
He looked over the checks and saw that
they were made payable to his friends
insurance company. He resolved to take
the hat back. He went over and said:
"pve come to exchange hats. We made
O mistake
The insurance man had forgotten all
about the checks. He looked at his own
hat on the nail.
"Oh, no." said he, "there is no mistake.
I have my hat"
"But you haven't" protested the other,
"because@"
Eyes I have I know that stain on the
rim, and here is my name OH the lining"
"But this hat doesn't fit me at all'' re-
turned the other in amazement, still car
ried away by his imagination. II can't
help that" said the insurance man.
"Hold on though-great Scott!' and he
fumbled in the lining of his own hat.
"Where-where in thunder have those
checks gomez"
"Here they are" said the merchant,
handing them to him. 81 found them in
the lining" .r
"Of your hiatt see it all now" and q
moment later they both stood before
cherry bar and clinked each others
glasses,

Packing House strikers Return.

CHICAGO, August 1S.-The PACKING
house employees of Robert Warren & Co.,
at the stock yards, who went out some
days ago because the firm persisted in
loading Lake Shore cars, have returned to
work. The superintendent of the estab-
ishment said that when the men went
out some work was left unfinished, and
rather than have the meat spoil the old
hands were taken back The men claim
the basis of settlement was the agreement
of the firm not to ship any more beef over
the Lake Shore road.

The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELEGTRIGETY.

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts Of inventors have
been directed to construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none of
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting and that all have adhered to
the system Of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead Of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Elec-
tricity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp
The Norman Electric Light, Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal Of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches of Lighting
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
Of lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour), and it has before the latter the i'm
mense advantage of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree of temperature. 1t is further abso-
lutely inodorous, and does not need 10 be
leindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case
Of gas, if the key is left open; and. il must be
conceded that this advantage alone is inyalu-
able. 1t is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep it in order.
