to look over his spectacles for some time
before he saw the paying teller at his win
dow, and he managed to hand in the check

handk erchiei, and stood waiting for his
money.
"You will have to be identified before
we can pay this" said the teller.
The farmer stopped a little, stuck his
head against the window grating, and said
explosively:
"Hey?'
The teller repeated his statement.
The old farmer took the check, folded it
carefully with his long fingers, and rubbed
his gray chin-whiskers thoughtfully.

JOPKINS' MISTAKE.

Jopkins had read somewhere that il q
woman got hold of a newspaper with a
clipping cut out Of it, she would never
rest until she had procured complete
paper and read the missing item. This
struck Jopkins as very shrewd and
Machiavelian plan of exposing this we'll
known weakness of lovely woman, and he
resolved to put it into practice.
So that night, when he went home from
the office, there SYSTEMATICALLY protruded
from his coat pocket the days paper, from
which he had neatly cut a paragraph refer
ring to the rings of Jupiter or some suoh
matter.
He threw the paper to one side in a
careless way, and after supper he noted
with an unholy glee that Mrs. Jopkins had
secured it and was running her eye over
the bargain ads, and working her way,
after the manner of her sex, through the
personals, marriage notices, and back to
the telegraphic dispatches.
Presently Jopkins observed sudden
and suspicious frown overcast her face.
She had come upon the hiatus made by the
waggish penknife. Jopkins reveled with
internal hiarity, but preserved an out
ward appearance of innocent unconscious
ness.
"My dear, " said Mrs. Jopkins, laying the
paper gently aside, "I'm going to run
over to Mrs. Hopkins minute. l won't
be gone long"
She went over to the opposite neighbours,
and while she was gone Jopkins had a lot
of fun She came back presently, and
Jopkins noticed she carried another paper
under her shawl. She went upstairs and
Jopkins learned back in his chair and shook
all over with Joy.
Best joke l ever got off, he said to
himself. "Won't she be sold when l tell
her?n
Mrs. Jopkins remained upstairs about
90 minutes, and when she came down she
had on her hat and street dress, and Jop
kins felt his knees trembled when he
looked into her eye
"Wh-where are you going?' he
ask ed.
"Where am I going?' said his wife.
"You want to know where I am going,
you deceitful, disreputable, underhanded,
deptaved, villianous, brutal, wicked, I'M
principled, scandalous abandoned mon
ster? Pm going to my mother -
"Wha what's the matter? said Jop-
kins.
"Lool at thatr' said Mrs. Jopkins,
thrussng the paper in his face. "Cut it
out to hide it from me, did you? To
think that should ever have married such
a rutIian !"
Jopkins looked where her finger pointed
and read
"After the performance of The Devils
Auction last night quite IA recherche little
supper was given to the leading lady
actresses by few OF their admirers. A
prominent merchant whose name we with
hold is said to have cut up some rather high
links on the occasion. We wonder if his
estmable and charming wife knew of his
whereabouts"
A cold shiver ran over Jopkins. He was
innocent, but he had neglected to read the
other side of the clipping when he cut it
out. lie began to explain, and the milk
man says he was still at it when he called
with his regular morning supply of chemi-
Gals.
As Mrs. Jopkins was seen week later
wearing an elegant new silk dress, to say
nothing: of "a dream Of bonnet" it is
presumed that the matter was satisfactorily
arranged.
