DREW ON THE SULTAN.

Why n Spectators Draft Was Honored
by the Turkish Ruler.
A large operator and speculator OF
St. Louis, whose account with one
friendly bank had often been tempo
rarily overdrawn, wanted so, 200 once
for a certain deal, his balance in bank
at the time being less than 800, says
the San Francisco Argonaut. The
cashier suggested that he should draw
dpcn some one not too near to St.
Louis. Smith said he did not know
whom to draw upon. ''Oh, anyone"
said the obliging cashier, ''as long as
the party is far enough away-that
will give you time to turn around !"
Smith drew at sight for $4,000 on
the sultan of Turkey. The draft was
duly forwarded by the bank, reaching
New York, whence it was sent to
London correspondent. 1t then
came into the hands OF the
Rothchilds, who forwarded il to their
Constantinople branch, where it was
duly presented for payment to the
sultan's chamberlain, the latter bring
ing it to his highness. WHO is this
John Smith," said the sultan.
Don't know" replied the chamber
lain. 'Do we owe him anything?"
NO" replied the other. Then I'll
not pay it, replied his high might

wise" said the astute counselor; "this
draft comes through the Rothchilds,
with whom we are negotiating two
million loan. Would it be safe, under
the circumstances, to dishonor it?"
"Pay it" said the sultan; and it was
paid, and no one was more astonished
than John Smith of st. Louis, and tho
quick witted cashier.

bottoms CHEF BELL RINGER.

Tlays No End OF tunes on tho Old
North Church Chimes
When the chimes of the Old North
church, on Salem street ring out
"Billy Barlow" Crock a-Bye- Baby, "
or "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground"
do you know what that means? asks
the Boston Herald.
Celebrating a holiday you say.
Well and good, but when the holt
day is close, warm, stuffy one like
last Fourth of July, the Ginning of the
bells means something more.
1t means that Charley Jewell is per-
spring to beat the band, that he has
his coat, hat and vest of, and is all
out of breath.
Ginning is hard work. Charley
Jewell has been Ginning for ten years:
his father has chimel for thirty-five,
and his grandfather has a record OF
fifty. They're a family of chimers.
saw Charley Jewell chime the Old
North bells at sunset on the Fourth,
and up in that old belfry | wondered
If anybody who heard the bells knew
or cared how much energy it cost him
to give forth that melody.
There are eight bells in the old
church, and each of them has a rope
attached to it. The ropes come down
through two stories, and in the
chimers room are fastened 10 frame.
When the bells are tuned the frame
shows eight tight ropes, each the size
OF a clothes line, and all about the
same distance apart. That is the
chimer's keyboard.
He pulls the ropes as an archer
would pull big bow, but the chimcr
has to hustle over the ropes just as a
harpist does. That is where the work
comes in. 1t takes force to make the
bells sound, and one rope has to be
caught almost before the other is drop
ped.
On a warm day that isn't pleasant.
But Ginning is not pealing, and the
bells on the Old North are also pealed.
1t takes six or eight men to peal the
bells, and that, too, is warm work.
When they are chimed tho bells are
stationary; when pealed, they swing
around and tho tongues strike while
tho mouths are up.
Pealing is English, you know, and
the majority of the Old North's peal
ers are Englishmen. They stand
round in a circle; each man has a rope
and they pull one after another They
reach high. but the big ropes 60
through their hands. They catch
them again in time, and keep up that
program for half an hour.
It's great exercise.
