MINKS IN AN ODD BATTLE.

They Fought Each Other ViciousIy and
Vocii"rouslv. In the Water md Ont.
An unusual battle was witnessed ut
Greenwood lake one day recently by
Mr.. Silas Pickering, of Newark, and
old Steve Garrisor. the veteran guide.
Steve was rowing anU ST was catching
frogs for bass along the east shore of
the lake, says the New York Sun.
Suddenly they heard n remarkable
~squealing, and as they turned a
point of rocks they saw on the shore of
a little COW two full-grown minks in
combat. The usually shy animals were
so busy that they paid no attention to
the approach of the boat and Steve
rowed up to within fifteen feet of
them.
The minks seemed each to be fight
ing for n throathold, and the way they
SPARED and scratched was highly in
teresting. Finally one caught the
other by the back, and they rolled
from the rock into the water, where
they continued to fight as energetically
as on the shore.
Soon they emerged, separately, but
clinched rs soon as they were on the
rock. and the fight waged sharper
than ever. Both minks squealed al
most continuously as they snapped and
scratched at each other.
Three times they pitched from the
sloping rock into the water and
crawied out to renew the fight ashore,
but after another such dip only one
came up. The other had evidently
tired of the fight and sneaked away
under water. The victor crept upon
the rock aud. not seeing his adversary,
began to strut and fro as If much
pleased with himself. Suddenly he
caught sight of ~PicSc:iug's striped
blazer and fed into the bushes.

e IS CAPITAL.

1t Served = Wall Street Broker In Good
Stead ON One Occasion.
/ know i'll this city'a southerner who
has made his way from nothing to q
comfortable fortune, says a writer in
the New York Press. He was a broker
in Wall street. plodding slowly along,
living from hand to mouth, with q bank
account that sometimes grew as big Us
eight hundred dollars. He met a CAPT
talist who wanted certain bonds, and,
with n commission of twenty-five hun
dred dollars in view, he undertook to
deliver them. He knew an old bond
holder who had them, and his purpose
was to get them without causing n sud-
den rise in their value. The old fellow
named his price, which was entirely
satisfactory. The amount was twenty
five thousand dollars for the lot. My
friend went to his Office, drew n check
for that sum and handed it over.
perhaps you know that it is GUS
tomary in transactions of this kind to
give n certified check" said the bond
holder.
This was n stunning blow, almost a
knockout, for a man with a bank &C
count of never more than eight hun
drcd dollars, but my friend, begging the
old fellows pardon for the oversight,
started to get the proper certitication.
He went straight to the cashier of his
bank and stated the whole case to him,
explaining that he was to deliver the
II within two hours and make his
profit of twenty-five hundred dollars.
1T is an unusual request, the cashier
said, with a smile of half pity for the
ignorance of his customer.
Il know it," said the broker, ''but 1
cannot lose this chance of making two
thousand five hundred dollars. You
know l am honest. l have been a de-
positor here for two or three years, and
have never before asked u favor. 1
will have the cash here within two
hours to make good the check, or will
deposit the collateral"
The cashier hesitated. He who hest
tates is lost. He looked the broker
straight in the eye and said:
II will do it. 1 know you are an
honest man."
With a certified check for TWENTY-FIVE
thousand dollars, the southerner re-
turned for the bonds, much to the
a~maZement Of the old bo~ndholder, who
declared that if he had known his abil-
ity to produce n certified check for that
amount he would not have offered the
bonds at all. He offered them as a
bluff. But the bluff being called he
had to yield. Inside of an hour and q
half the bonds were delivered to the
capitalist, and a check for twenty-seven
thousand five hundred dollars was de-
posted ut the bank.
My friend has had many transactions
with the old bondholder since then and
he never fails to ask: DO you want
certified cheek?" to which the reply is:
Never mind about it; I'll take n sort
of check you give me-"
