-
There wss Enough Loft for Identifies
tion, and She Got lIor Money.
Many curious stories have been told
concerning bank checks. Some OF these
relate to the largest drawn and others
to the smallest. One Of the largest
checks ever dawn in this city was at
the time that the capital OF the Nevada
bank wat increased from $4,000 o TO
$4,000. 900. This check wns by Flood
& O'Bricn for 100000. As to the
extreme, checks have been drawn to
the value of n single cent. Other stories
relate to the circuit made by checks
before they are finally taken up and
destroyed. Some OF these %migrations
have covered different states and hun
dreds Of miles. In these journeys
checks have gone over ground several
times. Checks are wonderful money
savers: hat is. they save the hand
ling Of vast sums of money every day.
They also serve to minimize the loss
Of money from mistakes, thefts, or
other causes.
But one of the greatest curiosities in
the check line has just come to light
in this city. A lady brought 1t to the
Bank of California to be cashed. 1t
was in n paper box and had to be handled
very carefully, for IL was in two pieces
and both were burnt to n crisp. There
was not n ~dccipherable word on either
piece. The lady said the bits CT
crisp paper represented n check for
s125, which she had received in n let
ter. The check, she said, was drawn
by the national bank of ID. o. Mills, of
Sacramento. She had removed the let
ter from the envelope and had thrown
the envelope on some live coal in the
CRATE. Upon reading the letter she had
found n reference to an Enclosure of
check for the sum named, and turned
70 the fire In the CRATE with sore dis
appointment. The fire had done its
work. The crisp paper lay on the GOALS.
| She carefully removed the same, placed
| IL in II box and hurried TO the Bank of
| California TO get the money before the
| pieces were further crumbled.
After listening to the story the Off
GERS Of the bank made n careful eN-
animation of the burnt paper, and by
Nv uNi vi lo"Viiui SioN'N'' nv WV
able TO make out portions OF words
from the pen impressions made on the
paper. There were enough OF these
lines left TO show that ELLA" had been
written, and part Of the word "hun-
dred" was also made out, with two
or three letters of the name of the
bank. These discoveries corresponded
with the story of the lady, and the
bank officers then communicated the
circumstances to the national bank OF
ID. O. Mills d Co. of Sacramento, and
asked for n duplicate check in behalf
Of the lady. This was forwarded and
the money was paid. The circumstance
disproved the charge about the curl
osity of Had there been moro
curiosity about the Enclosure of the
envelope the trouble would have beer
avoided. The practical application OF
the story is to be careful that what yo,
throw into the fire has no further valu,

To submit to an operation, is to volun-
tarily endanger ones life, without the
slightest hope of being benefited.
Mr.. William Walpole, Is a wealthy
planter residing at Walshtown, South
Dakota, and is we'll known all over the
state. Under date OF January goth, 1896,
he writes; "Aboutthre years ago, there
came under my left eye a little blotch
about the size of a small pea. 1t grew
rapidly, and for the past year, shooting
pains ran in every direction. ! became
alarmed and consulted a good doctor,
who pronounced it cancer, and said that
it must be cut out. This ! would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
discriminate use of the knife, though ]
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
of the many cures made by S.S.S., i
determined to give that medicine a trial,
and after / had taken il a few days, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis
charge. This after ceased, leaving
a small scab, which finally dropped off,
and only q healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyer had held full sway Words
are inadequate to express my gratitude to
the great blood purifier, S. S. S., and ]
writethish opingthat itnay bcthcmeans
of leading other sufferers to a cure"
Cancer Is not incurable, but the only
means of curing it is TO rid the blood OF
the disease. S.S.S. never fails TO do
this, but it is the only remedy to be re.
lied upon. II is guaranteed purely
vegetable, and cures Cancer, Scrolula,
Eczcma, Catarrh, Rheumatism and any
other disease ofthc blood. Other blood
diseases often develop into such alarm
ing conditions that the doctors think an
operation necessary, Scroiula, ior in
stance, often diseases the glands Of the
neck TO such an cNtent that an operation
is looked upon as absolutely the only
relief. This Is also n grave error, as the

remedy Is the only cure.

LONGEVITY OF DEER.
A Century Is Not the Limit OF Their
Possible Age.

IOSslDlc -tge.
1t is difficult, writes u Highland for
ester, to speak with certainty as to the
age of deer, but we have undcniablc tes-
timony that there were in the old Glen
garry forest stays upward of so years
of agc. Some maintain that decrattain
the age of six and seven score years.
In 1929, while mcdonnell, of Glcngar-
~, and Lord Dunmorc were hunting at
1'crrna-corrafi n huge stag, with gigan-
tic a%ntlcrs, darted out of the wood.
Glengarry shot him. Finding that it
had Il certain ear-mark, he asked his
forester to explain whose it was.
"That," replied the forester, "Gs the
ear-mark of Eoghain Mac-Iuin-Oig."
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Even
was n noted forester who had died 150
years previously! The antlers of the
stag 1--WE are told) were preserved in the
old Glcngarry family ever afterward.
The age of the deer Is thus described
in an old Gaelic saying:
"Ihrice the age of a dog the age of n
horse: thrice the age of a horse the age
Of a man; thrice the age of a man the
age of a deer; thrice the age of n deer
the age Of the eagle; thrice the age of
the eagle the age Of the oak tree"
We have incontrovertible testimony
that a white hind lived in the forest of
Loch-Treig during the recollection Of
three generations. Every hunter in the
district knew her well. She was white
az snow, and so watchful and ingenious
that no n v got within gunshot of
her.
1t may be added that the old hunters
| and S~ennachies in Badenoch and Loeb
aber still (1S95) speak of this famous
hind.
For 40 years n stag roamed over the
Monadth-Liath, In Badenoch, and de-
