HE KEPT THE CHECK.
Turfman Green Morris Was Too Cunning
For the Banks.


For the Banks.
With so many bank robberies all
around MS it is not surprising that there
should be some uneasiness among deposi-
tors. In general, however, the New
Yorker has clear head. He has faith in
the Clearing House association, because
he really does not quite understand the
mystery of it, and he believes in his
bank through thick and thin. because he
gether in support of weakened institu-
tion. I am reminded of what happened
to Green Morris, the turfman, who lived
in Brooklyn and raced horses on all the
tracks of the metropolitan circuit He
had big year Of winnings at Monmouth
park, and received at the end of the sea-
son a check from the association for
$67, 900. Eighteen months later he
showed that check to me, considerably
worn.
"why, Green" I said reproachfully,
"this check is 1S months old. What do
you mean by keeping it SO long? 1t is
nearly worn out. Don't you know that
check should be deposited at once or
cashed? Suppose the bank was to fail?"
Green chuckled knowingly and wink
ed as he folded it up and put it back in
his pocketbook
81 amt been racin hosses for nothin
these goin on nigh 30 year. amt got
no faith in no banks They's too much
failin to suit me. That's whut I've allus
been afraid Of, an that's why I'm holdin
on to my check. I amt a-goin to have
no bank failin with my money in the
safe. Besides I amt had no use for the
$67, 900, an it's jes' rs easy to keep it in
my pocket this way"
This same Green is worth now $500,
900 or $400, 900, and yet cannot write
his name. New York Press.

Popular Topics Of the Day.

Honolulu has as many machin-
lists considering the population as
any place we know of - and
they're good machinists too, men
who can take steel rod and with
the assistance of a lathe fashion it
into parts for the most intricate
machinery for an engine. To do
this, OF course, requires a know
ledge of tools as well as the hand
ling of them.
In our store room one depart
ment contains the most complete
assortment of machinists, tools in
the city. Look at them and you
will find they are all of first
quality che price will give you
the impression that they are
thirds) every one of them shining
like an Africans heel. The as
sortment consists of hammers-all
sizes and shapes from the cute
little one used by the jewellers to
the heavy one which the boiler
maker uses in riveting the steel
plates together. Then we have
the Handy Pipe Wrench, new
device without a fault. This tool
will be found a convenient one even
ia the house where none of the
occupants are machinists. Hand
vises for machinists can be had
of us in every size manufactured,
so can Pipe Nises and Cold
Chisels. We have every thing
used by metal workers in their
trade.
Then We have a stock of car
penters wood working tools
second to none in the city-frst
only in quality. You cannot
call for tool used by a carpenter
that we do not have in stock.
Another thing you may be in re-
ested in is an axe that will hold
its edges new thing in axes and
something every one needs about
the house.
Bird cages have been mention
ed in another paper; just here we
will say that the stock we carry

THE POET GOT HIS BATH.

Near Oakland.

1t has long been charged
against the people of California
that they do not give due recogni.

genius. Up in his eyrie on East
Oakland Heights, however, Joa-
quin Miller is signing for less re
cognition of certain sort. He is
overrun with lion-hunters. who,
purloin bis manuscripts, steal his
books, peer through his windows
and even carry off his coats.
gloves and handkerchiefs. To
such extent has this vandalism
been carried that he has resorte1
to the exredient of mailing fast to
the walls of his apartments any
thing that he really desires tc
keep.
On Wednesday of this week
four well-dressed women present
ed themselves at the Heights and
demanded to see the poet. Nj
Miller had just come in from the
fields. 1t is no figure Of spesct
when the poet of the Sierras
speaks of himself as a laboring

He was Just preparing his bath
when the four pilgrims to the
shrine of poesy appeared at his
door.

Miller" they announced.
Miller surveyed them. They
were all strangers to him. He
was dusty, hungry and tired from
the mornings labor. There was
manuscript that must be cut off.
You must excuse me, ladies'"
he said. Il am about to take
bath and cannot see anyone this
morning"
The women paid no heed. In
stead, they gazed about the room,
commented upon the decorations,
asked questions and watched the
poet getting the water ready for
his bath. After waiting reas on
able time for the motion to ad-
journ the Bard of the Heights re-
moved his hat. Then he paused.

writing, Mr.. Miller" the spokes-
woman asked
This is where | take my bath ~
he said.
The remark passed apparently
unheeded, and the poet removed
his coat. Still his guests gazed
and chatted. The water for his
bath was rapidly cooling. He
removed his vest.
"Where does that door lead to.
Mr.. Miller ?"
at leads out Of doors" was the
reply.
Still the ladies fingered, an

The situation was growing in
