HER MONEY ORDER.
The Empress of Austria Had Great Dim
 culty in Collecting It.

The Empress of Austria during her recent visit to France was subjected to some curious inconvenience owing to the excessive red-tapeism of the post office officials and the fact that she tray eled under an assumed name. Foreign CTS receiving post-office orders must pro duce either passport, their landlord s receipt for quarters rent or a tax re- ceipt before they can get them cashed. The Empress on two different occasions had reason to feel incensed at the wood en application of these rules. One was at Toulon, where she had an order for a lump of money payable to Mrs. Nichol- son" She went herself to draw this sum, but could show no passport, no re- cefpt for a quarters rent or for years taxes, and was treated by the clerk as a person to suspect, but that official was at last brought so far round as to say that if she could produce a few hotel bills he would pay the money. She said she did not think she had any. as she was not a collector ot such documents. However, on searching in her pocket she found she had her last bill and vic toriously presented it, not refecting that it was made out for Miss Simp- son" The only thing that remained for her to do was to apply for help to the Austrian Consul or to declare her incog- nita. She took the latter course by showing a photograph of herself, which she had picked up in shop at Lisbon, with her style and title printed beneath. The clerk was naturally confounded and made haste to cash her order. When she was at Algiers a similar misadven- ture befell her. The order was the largest that had ever been heard of by the postal authorities there. and was also made out for Mrs. Nicholson" To obtain the money her Majesty called on NJ. Tirman, the Governor-General, told who she was and asked his good offices. He did not, fortunately, hesitate a no. ment

 short, nervous German stepped up to the Auditorium register the other day and ornamented it with the name F. Schumacher. While he did so a lobby lounger gave to the Chicago Mails Club Man this story concerning the we'll known "oatmeal king" and prohibition leader. MT. Schumacher is a million aire and has earned his money by his own exertions. His daily work is indi- cated by a remark made in a recent in teryiew upon the eight-hour work day: ''i believe in it for I've always worked on the eighthour system myself-eight hours before lunch and eight hours aft erwsrd." He dresses very plainly. His sons dress faultlessly, and they have often tried to get the old gentleman himself to pay a httle more attention to matters of dress. But they have failed Recently Mir. Schumacher casually an- nOunced his intention of buying a new oyercoat to replace his old. well-worn garment that had done service for many years. The sons formed a plan to in- duce him to wear a fine coat They had a coat made by a tailor and paid him $50 for it. They then gave him instruc- tions to sell it to MT. Schumacher for S20 or less if necessary. Then the boys told their father that there was a good coat for sale cheap in a downtown tailor shop and advised him to buy it. They even offered to take him to look at il. The old gentleman accompanied them. tried on the coat, and was delighted with it. He was as- tonished, too, to learn that it cost no more than an ordinary ready-made gar ment and bought it at once. The boys were highly pleased. They paid the $50 extra and MT. Schumacher was none the wiser for the trick.
 But few days later Mir. Schumacher was again wearing his old coat. The sons were surprised, and one of them said:
 "Father,aren't you going 70 wear your new coat every dayP"

One notable feature of this table is the scarcity of the signatures so well-nigh universal century ago, such as Your obedient servant" of which found but two instances in 300 letters. Your humble servant" seems to have departed this life. Can this be due to the dis taste Americans have for even the sem blance of seryility?
 Yours truly" trite, cOmn onplace, as devoid of meaning as two words can be, yet holds the lead in favor to an extent not to be wondered at in business let ters, but something surprising in let ters of friendship, where an expression Of feeling is not out of place. 'Very respectfully" and Yours respectfully" are suitable when the person to receive the letter $ much older than the sender or by reason of his position deserves some marked expression of deference, but the phrases are too often used with out regard to their significance. There is also a common habit of shortening the word respectfully" into resp" or even res" though it would seem that, if man deserves respect, dignity would call for something more than bob tailed fashion Of giving it
 Yours. etc." seems a half-hearted, lazy sort of signature; zigzag line would mean as much and be easier to make. IL has not even the slight merit of Tn haste" or Hastily" which at least serve as an apology for bad writ ing. As far as simplicity goes Yours" is infinitely preferable. and, indeed, is the best way to say something without meaning any thing-best because the shorter the useless formula the better. Yet perhaps these and all the rest of the phrases cited convey impressions to other minds different from those they give me. Did you ever chance to try to prove philosophically or mathematical ly, or in any other way that any given word means exactly the same thing to anybody else that it means to you? Try it, and then you will, with me, cease to prescribe how others shall sign themselves and be content with follow ing your own fancy.

How People Sign Their Businsss and Sc
 cial Correspondence.

ciai Correspondence.
 A friend of mine, says correspondent of the Writer, always used to crowd just as much as he could on the last page of every letter he wrote, so that at the bot tom he might have left only just room enough for his name. Thus he avoided the use of any complimentary phrase that to him was meaningless, and to the receiver of the letter might mean more or less than the writer would wish. l have often seen him painfully wrestling with his imagination or his memory for ideas or facts enough to make ink and paper come out even. Surely his meth cd of getting over the difficulty is awk- ward, to say the least. If the ending happened to come naturally in the mid dle of the page it would be better right there to omit the distasteful phrase than to make your own time and that of your reader with needless sentences, added merely ito fit" Custom, how ever, prescribes that all letter writers shall at the end say something polite to their correspondents, even though the body of the letter contains the most caustic sort of Scotch blessing. Nc doubt, too. there are shades of meaning in the many forms that this politeness assumes. You will seldom ind a man who always signs his name with the same phrase in front of it, there being usually an attempt to make the phrase accord, at least to some extent, with the nature of the rest of the epistle. It would at first seem hard, then, to learn from any given body of correspondence the comparative degrees of popularity that these phrases possess, but, curious to try It, l examined 300 of my old letters, ljO purely business letters and an equal number of general nature from friends and scquaintances, none from relatives, and all from different persons. Here are the statistics:
