Though Uncle Sam has been known to
Issue drafts and warrants for as low
as one cent, this example is seldom fol-
lowed by business houses. The average
merchant nowadays will refuse TO draw
check for an amount less than s5. 1.-THE
reason for this" said a well-known busi-
ness man, 'is that such checks call for
nothing but kicks from the banks. Then
again, 1t Is easy to raise a check OF less
than so by the addition of another figure.
SO business men don't care to take too
many chances II they have small
amounts Of money to send by mail they
prefer to buy postal notes"

The new surf boat for the Cape Dis
appointment Life Saving Station, Is ex-
pected to arrive In the morning from
San Francisco on the Alice Blanchard.
Captain Charles Stewart, of the life saw
ing crew, Is in the city, waiting to re-
celve 1t. The boat Is known as Mon
omoy Surf Boat" is 26 feet long, clinker
built, with center board and sails. She
was built in 1895 by Geo. w. Kneass, San

small pearl button. Most of the buttons
are of the size of an old-fashioaed three
cent piece. The stitching on short gloves
is quite heavy, but il is not ihe broad
band stitching fashionable a short time
since, and 1t Is the same color as the
glove. Only the undressed kid gloves are
worn for dress occasions.
A wel.-known banker made the state
ment the other day that the known de-
falcatons of Americans holding positions
OF trust amounted in 1898 to over sl9,0OO,-
900. In 1894 they had reached the sum
of $25.OOO0O0, plus perhaps $5,OOO.OO not
reported to the fidelity insurance COM
panies. 1t appears In the reports of the
latter that the bulk Of these were direct
ly or indirectly due to the failure of su-
perlor bank officers or employers to close
" and regularly examine their books.
The confidential clerk or cashier set out
to be honest, but the lax discipline of the
office helped to turn him to peculations
when temptation came Thirty millions

this great country to pay, especially as
the same costly carelessness is going on
yet.

view is, of course, reached and Is en-
bodied in a series of warnings to the
young and old to avoid liquor entirely.

A lady who lives in Uppertown has a
pet fox-terrier that has lately put her
to a. deal OF Inconvenience. The other
day she started to attend wedding
down town. She endeavored to shut the
dog In at home, but at an unguarded
moment he wedged himself through the
doorway, and as she was about to take

to the west side for a little lark. 1t was
after II O'clock and the cars not being
