satisnea the Paying Tel:sr.

A well dressed man went into q Main
street bank and walked up to the win.
dow presided over by the paying teller,
says o writer in the Buffalo Express.
he handed a check to that individual
and said: 81 have q check for $50
which / wish You would cash."
The paying teller looked at the
,heck and then at the man. "You
will have TO be identified" he said.
The well dressed man was prepared
for this. 81 don't know a soul in
Buffalo," he said, ''but ! have a lot OF
letters addressed to myself" He
pulled out g package of letters and
lhoved them through the window.
The paying teller examined the adj
dresses, looked at the check again,
and said: ''That is not sufficient. You
will have to De personally identi-
fed"
"But there isn't q man, woman oil
,hild in Buffalo who knows me from a
trolley car" persisted the we'll dressed
man. "Here, here is my key ring.
Look at the name on that tag"
The paying teller saw that the name
on the check and the name on the tag
were the same. 81 am sorry" he
said, s'but our rules are very strict. I
SAINT pay this check on such an iden-
tiication. Excuse me, but you may
have stolen both letters and key chain
and check"
The well dressed man was worried.
"T've got to have that money" he
said, 'fto ct out of town with, and l
have to get ont of town this after
noon" Then he desperately tore open
his vest and showed his initials on his
shirt. "There," he said, "do you
ihink I stole the shirt, too"
"May have" answered the paying
teller, laconically.
The we'll dressed man was very angry.
He walked around the bank for a
while and then was struck by a sud-
den thought. He took off his coat
and vest and rolled up his left shirt
sleeve and the sleeve of his undershirt.
Then he stuck his barred arm through
the window and shouted: '6There, you
dod-gasted chumpl Do you see those
initials tattooed there in blue ink Do
you think I stole them, too?"
The paying teller paid the money
without another word.

But ever they hold their place;

And we look in hts hooking face.

And faithi They are dinsy and grayl

A DeadwOOd Lynching.

Leander Richardson gives, in the
New York Sun, the following vivid de-
scription of the lynching of q murderer
ut Deadwood in the seventies:
When the preparations were COM
plete the prisoners hands were man
acled behind him, and he was led out
side. The crowd cheered and then
hooted as they saw him. The yellow
of his skin had changed to al ashen
hue, and his one active little eye swept
the horizon with a venomous glitter.
But he did not vince. He clutched
his half smoked weed convulsively with
his teeth, pulled himself together and
stood firmly on his feet, with his chin
elevated defiantly. He was lifted to
the back of the horse, and sitting there.
bolt upright, was led away across the
gulch to where a long rope dangled
from a limb of a gaunt dead tree. In
one end of this rope there was arunning
moose. The other end, after passing
over the limb, was held by several men
further up the side of the gulch. The
horse was led under the tree, two
guards, with rifles ready, walking on
either side. The crowd, which surged
onward like an angry river, painted
with excitement that broke out in
curses and vile ordinations.
The moose was adjusted, the horse
was led out from under the murderer's
form, and at the same moment the men
holding the opposite end Of the rope
ran up the hill with it for few PAGES.
The body of the tall M~issourian, with
ing horribly in agony. few upward. A
dozen shots from pistols and rifles
rang sharply out. The m~alefactor's
ungainly feet, which had been drawn
up in the first 1ontortiou Of suffering,
fell back. The bony hands, which had
clutchnS desperately at the back of his
shirt relaxed and hung down, limp
am p~ulseless. The teeth, which had
been clinched in the final and supreme
sffort of self-control, parted, and the
remnant Of the last black cigar came
boating to the ground. The artificial
eye, now not more sightless than its
iurtive companion, cast q coldly sinIs-
ter stare out over the throng below, q
throng hushed with the spending of
it's fury. The body, twisting with the
strain upon the rope, swayed to and
lro in the freshening breeze. The peo-
pie, who were sobered and reflective
turned slowly away and dispersed.
