Met His Match.
A mn with market basket on his arm
was slowly toiliDg up the incline Of the
Brooklyn Bridge the other day. when his
attention was attracted by a 10y on the roof
of building about two hundred feet away.
As soon as the man stopped the boy began
initiating his walk, which was rendered un-
graceful by lame leg. Owing to the con-
fusion it was impossible to hear what each
said, but the man with the basket seemed to
eXcaim:
IF | only had my hands on you I'd make
you sing a different tune in about minute"
And the boy seemed to reply:
Come, now, old chap, and don't get husky
over bit of fun
The man on the bridge was taken with
sudden fit of coughing. The bny followed
suit. The man shook hlS fists in the direction
OF the roof. the boy shook lis in the direc-
ton of the bridge. Then the man seemed
to be saying:
"Ah, you young wretch, you are tread
ing the path to the gallowsw
The boy gestured with his right hand in
imitation, and seemed 10 reply:
IF were as crusty as you are I'd have
been hung long ago"
Then he put his thumb on his nose and
twirled his fingers in spirited manner, and
it looked as if he would come out a winner.
Indeed, the man had started out when he
suddenly stopped, set down his basket, and
after feeling for naif minute lie brought
out u hens egg. 1t was large, soid-lOOk-
ing specimen of what an American hen can
do, aud the man spit on the palm Of his
right hand. The boy initiated him. Then
the man drew back his right arm. The boy
also initiated that maneuyer With raise

let fly. and three or four seconds later the
egg struck the boy on that part OF the anat-
omy vulgarly referred to as the dread bas-
ket" He doubled up and then went to

passed on nobody nor nothing had any more

Rev. DIR. Esston Propounis The symbolic

Rev. DR.. Easton preached an interesting
sermon last evening to a large congregation
at Calvary Church. He took his text from
Ezekiel yiii-poriion of and II verses:
And when L looked. behold. a hole in The
wall" Then said he unto me- Son Of man,
hast thou seen what the ancients of the
house of Israel do in the dark, every man in
the chambers Of his imagery"
The reverend gentleman began by allud-
ing to the chamber Of horrors" in the Eden
Musee in New York and Nine. Tassaud's
exhibition in London. A strange Shudder-
ing seizes the spectator on looking into the
faces and the terrors OF this place, from
which escape is pleasure. 1t was like the
visions of the prophet through the hole in
the wall, the chamber Of his imagery. The
vision was used as symbol of the heart,
which is the chamber of each ones own
imagery in which there is surely some dark
and painted cl amber If horrors.
Every man IS mystery 10 himself and
to his fellows" continued the speaker.
We are all mysteries to enc another and
still greater to ourselves. After all our best
knowledge Of one another we only see the
surface, and every man may be said to dwell
alone. Not one of us Is without this mystic
chamber, and to the young men and young
women would say mind what you paint

Christians. members OF Christian churches

DETECTING COUNTERFElTS.

Methods of B,nkTeiiers-It Is Easter
Now Than 1t Used to BE.
To the casual observer it is always a won
der that cashiers, k-telers and others
who handle large amounts of paper mo ney
are able at glance to throw out bad note
Speaking on this topic an old bank-teller
said: 1T must be remembered that in the
fret place the men who handle money as a
business are compelled to have very thor
ough familiarity with the appearance of
every genuine note COunterfeits do not
some time in use, and every part OF it is
well known. 1t is not so wonderful, then,
that after this daily familiarity with the APP
pearance Of note the first deviation from
it should attract attention. Exactly what
it is that does expose the counterfeit the
say they know it instinctively. They Judge
not only by the looks of note, but by the
feel OF it.
st is obvious that counterfeit note must
be widely circulated to make it profitable.
No sooner does a counterfeit appear than its
description is widely published. Those who
are likely to suffer by taking counterfeit
notes make it their business TO be on the
lookout for new counterfeits, which are soon
distinguishable by some easily discovered
mark. A teller knows just what denomina-
ton OF notes has been counterfeited, and just
where to look for the tell-tale marks. He
notices the counterfeit as easily as n reader
notes misspeled word. 1t is no particular
effort. 1t is habit, and becomes second
nature.
zone and the main reason why counter
felts are easily detected is because in some
feature they are almost uniformly of inferior
quality. This is, indeed, the main protec-
ton OF the public. Genuine notes are en-
graved and printed almost regardless of
cost, and the very best materials are used

HE SURPRISED ELIZA.
And After He Had Done It He W
Greeted with a SurDrise Himself

And After He Had Done 1t He Was
Greeted with a Surprise Himself.
SALAMANCA. Oct. 4.-John Roberts OF
North East is farmer well enough to do,
but he had always been eccentric about his
clothes. Until week or so ago he had not
been kncwn 10 buy suit of clothes for
years. The ones he wore had been so often
patched and repatched that no bit of the
original warp and wool was visible. This
personal sloyenliness on the part of her
husband was source of constant annoy
ance TO Mrs. Roberts, who is a woman of ex-
cepti0nal neatness. She long ago became
so ashamed of his appearance that she
would no longer accompany him to town to
do her trading. This singular characters
tic of the farmer was not owing to penuri-
business, for he is liberal man in all his
dealings.
A few days ago he went to town to do
little trading, and, to the utter establishment
of the town he purchased new suit OF
clothes for himself. His new clothes were
done up in a package, and he placed the
package in the wagon seat beside him when
he started home that night. Ii was dark
night. Farmer Roberts had got half way
home when brilliant idea struck him. He
stopped his horse on a bridge where the
road crosses the East branch.
- Pll do it, by gumG' he said "Pll do it
ana surprise EllZa!
ThereupOn the farmer rose up in the
wagon and began to take off the patched and
repa ched clothes he had worn SO long. As
ne removed garment he tossed it into the
creek until he had tossed them all in and
had nothing on but his shirt
"Great apple sassp' he exclaimed. but
wont Eliza be surprised"
Then Farmer Roberts reached for the
package that had his new clothes in. 1t
was not on the seat Farmer Roberts got
down and reached under the seat. The
package was not there. Then he felt all
over the bottom of the wagon. The package
was not anywhere on the bottom. Farmer
Roberts rose up in the wagon and looked
back along the pitch-dark road.
Then he climbed back in his seat, and
away the horses went for home. The night
was chilly and there were three miles to GO.
When Farmer Roberts reached home and
climbed out of his wagon pe paused.
The hull idee didn't work." said he,
''but I'll bet nine dollars that L surprise
ElizaI"
That he did no one doubts, but when he
got up in the morning and went out to the
barn, clad in the hired mans overalls and
saw his package Of new clothes hanging by
its string on the brake handle at the side Of
the wagon he was a little surprised himself.

DOUBTING A STRONG MAN.
The Little Circus He Had In n Good
sized Town in Ohio.

The Little Circus He Had In Good
sized Town in Ohio.
On the day preceding the arrival of circus
at certain good-sized town in Ohio,
STRONG man." who had weeks lay-off
from the museum circuit, dropped down on
a visit to some of his relatives. There was
no discount on him as "a marvel of
strength" and the wood-cut which pictured
him throwing a bull over a six-rail fence
was not much of an eXasgeration. As soon
as 1t was discovered that he had no particu-
lar scruples against the flowing bowl, the
boys set out to have a little fun. Early in
the forenoon OF circus day an alleg circus
man waited on 'the great Western giant
and minated that he was fraud from
way back, and that his marvellous feats of
muscle were tricks and decisions. This had
the effect we hoped for, and the four or i've
glasses OF beer did the rest.
Soon after noon the strong man sailed
down to the circus grounds 10 demand an
apoi' gy. The people had begun bdying
tickets and the circus officials were too busy
10 talk. The way they ignored his presence
made the strong man madden than ever and
he started for the entrance. The two men
stationed ;here tired to prevent his lngress,
but he threw one into farmers wagon and
the otGer over lemonade stand and entered
the tent Six of the circus men now raj led
on the center, but the struggle dll not last
two minutes. He flung them allow and aloft
as if playing with the clubs.
" Hey, R-u-b-e.' sounded the tocsin, and
every single man connected with the circus
rallied in response. AS they came with
clubs, neck yokes and wagon spokcs the
strong man looked about for some weapon
There was a long-tailed bulldog lying under
the sacred cows cage. and he grabbed him
by the tail and widened the circle and
finally broke through it, smashing every
man who opposed him. When clear OF the
circle he tished a baby elephant off her
legs, upset a candy wagon, tore down a
section Of seats about forty feet long. and
appeared outside to eXclaim:
''All fraud and .delusion is it? Haven't
any moral right to my title, Ell? Well,
mebbe / haven't, but | guess the crowd
won't dispute itl'
And lie pulled the ticket wagon over on
its beam ends, flung bale of hay into a
side show. and took the middle of the road
to walk back TO the hOtel.-New York sun.
