money" l took this back TO the cashier.
He looked at IL for q moment or tvs, and
when I reached for tho pile Of money he
withdrew it and put it t. one side.
Then, taking out OF the drawer an inn
mense greasy pile Of bills, he proceeded
to count out slowly and leisurely $50
in 81 bills. 1t was Saturday and Twas
in a hurry. and IL it were not for the
fact that the law in Canada is to hang
man for murder, think I would have
massacred that cashier where he stood.
Unfortunately, however, we were not in
Michigan, and so another desperate out
rage was not recorded. 4 waited with
what patience could muster until tho
$3.50 were counted out in dirty, torn 81
American bills. BY this. time there
were several people waiting to be served
at the cashiers desk, but I was mad all
the way through, and SO when the pile
Of bills was handed to mo began to
count them on the cashiers desk.
Don't block up the passage here, :"
said the cashier. 'nyou want to cCvnt
that money take 1t to another desk"
''Pll do nothing Of the Sort sai6
''One Of the legends on the wall is thai
all mistakes must be rectified before
leaving the cashiers desk therefore l
shall have to count every dollar Of
this" And did. Ifit had not been in
Canada presume that long line Of GUS
toners who were waiting might.have
murdered me. but as it was, although I
richly deserved it, was allowed to es-
cape. =

the slightest to that young man that he

but I can not resist the temptation Of
telling him how his vengeance mis-
carried. felt ashamed of myself for
having to pay $3.50 to q merchant on
Saturday, which is generally busy day.
all in one-dollar bills, SO when I-came
to the store l told the gentleman, who
was q good friend Of mine, just how it
happened that had to pay him in such
a greasy lot Of stuff.
MY dear boy; he said. shat man
builded better than he knew. Our
great. trouble on Saturday is to get bills
of small amounts with which to pay our
men. We would willingly have paid
you the one per cent this particular
Saturday for this particular pile Of bills.
Bless you, my boy, bless you" b..
But all the same never meet tho
cashier of that bank without wishing n

Taxes Levied on the Pay Of Senators and
Representatives.
There is one expense which / have
never been able to protect myself from,
Mrs. Frye remarked recently; that OF
the district charities. Every Senator is
expected to takc an interest in the
charities of his own State, and in that
way he has more than . member, who
only looks after his own district Last
year Mr.. Frye signed checks for four
teen churches, and the amount was from
S. to SO. as he felt able. That is in .
sense proper, and we like to do what We
can among our own people; but to he
called upon to aid the charities Of tho
district which are helped to a great ex.
tent by Congress. is too much. As an
instance in point recall an instance
which happened some time ago, There
was . letter canne to me containing two
tickets for q charity ball and An un-
signed request for Sl0
s.Ido dot always stop to think, so I sat
down at once and wrote to the manager
of tho aaffair. saying: My dear Mrs -.

caller came in, and when sheleft i had
cOoled'dDwn somewhat i went into my
room and wrote: my. dear Mrs. ~.
some one has taken It upon herself to
send me two tickets" Just then there
was another interruption, and ! cafne
down another notch. My third effort
went and it was: my dear Mrb. -
Iinclosc SIS and one ticket as I do non

out that every Congressman's wife on

way. and there were Ave unused tickets

to go. ! tried - sell mine, IS there was
