THE withdrawal of funds by a =

book to the savings bank does not re-
quire a stamp if there is nothing ac-
companying it in the form of an order
for the payment of money. Receipts
given for the withdrawal of savings
account not subject to check do not
require any stamp. Where certificates
of stock are delivered as collateral tn:
stock is to be forfeited only upon condi
ton of failure to pay the debt for
which it is pledged a stamp is required
as pledge and not as sale"

Rhymes BY an Augusta Lady-A Bachelor

The joke is on one of the a,u,.,

uon. He arose one morning ana law
ing back the collar of his pipht sh;,t
proceeded TO shave. This done. in
stead of removing the shirt. ne dressed
without once noticing that he had nor
removed the shirt. When fully
dressed, he looked about for his rohe
de mutt, but it could not be found and
the mystery of what became of the
article was a matter of interest with
himself and his companion for several
moments, when he finally discovered
his mistake.
VI course he explained the joke to
some of the nearest of the gentlemen
at breakfast, and it was soon sprcaa
throughout the party.
Inc only advise the ladies had to
give him was to get married
Another amusing incident on the
trip was the case of mans mailing

per.
Ills daughter had addressed an
envelope before leaving home to one
of her friends (sex not stated. and
had enclosed several sheets of blank
paper, that it might be ready to mail
when she wanted it,
One afternoon she asked her father
Tor stamp to put upon the enve-
lopc. as she was Intending to write
letter.
Not long after the father saw the
letter laying on the seat, evidently
ready for the mail, and he mailed it at
once
The young lady began to search for
the missing letter. and failing to find
it asked her father if he had seen it.
to which he replied that he had
mailed it.
The joke was on him, and he had to
pay for another stamp To send n letter
of explanation, To the person to whom
the first envelope was addressed.

EDNA SAW DE WOLF.
The Dramatic Visit Occurring Between
 the Divorced Actors. :


 New York, July 1S.-During an in- remission in the rehearsal at the Casino a day or two ago Edna Wallace Hopper, in an endeavor to acquire a breath of fresh air, was looking out through the window of one of the dressing rooms on the south side of the stage. Her face suddenly lighted up, her eyes began to snap, and she forgot all about the warm weather in an instant. MT. DeWolf Hopper, in one of the dressing rooms of the KnickerbOcker theater, on the north side of the building, was flaming him self vigorously, and it was he upon whose classic lineament his former wife's sweeping vision had rested Mrs. Hopper called to her ex-husband, and he shouted back a word of salutation. Then he climbed out upon the fire es- cape and she followed suit.
 Say, Edna,'' shouted Mir Hopper. amiably, did you see 'Divorcons' at the Fifth avenue?'
 Edna shook her cunning little head by way of an invitation to the speaker to proceed.
 You ought to see it the first time you get chance" he resumed, flor the way the husband and wife ar- range their little difficulty in the piece would have been right ir our line. We ought to have done exactly as they did"
 Then both Mr. and Mrs. Hopper laughed heartily and branched of into other phases of pleasantly.

St. Louis Woman's Method of Melting

St. Louis, July 1S.-"Tomorrow you will regret what you said, and will wish that you had not been so nasty"
 With these words to her husband, Mrs. Alfreta- Baum, wife of James Baum, raised bottle containing col- orless liquid to her lips and drank it's contents.
 Husband and wife had quarreled over family affairs. Baum rushed to his wife's side and tried to prevent her from drinking the contents of the bottle, which he thought was poison, He was too late.
 He then hurried out of the house and had the woman removed in an ambulance to the city dispensary Dr. NewcOmb asked the woman what she had taken, but she refused to answer He applied the stomach pump, and af ter careful examination of the liquid brought forth came to the conclusion that the woman had not taken poison.
 She finally admitted that she was only feigning, and said she just want ed to frighten her husband A recon ciliation followed, and husband and wife walked home together.

 The railroad is progressing rapidly and will reach White Pass this season without doubt This will decrease the cost of transportation materially and what is of as much importance, the time required for the trip. The Thor TOTS of the pass" are over never to re- turn. However great the rush this season 1t will be we'll and understand ingly handled. The bad parts of tho trail. such as Porcupine hill and the Turtle Back are left to one side now.
 A few men from Dawson have passed through. They bring no news of new discoveries. for every one was busy with the cleanup when they left. All agree that the amount of gold to come out this summer will be about $3o, ,0O0.- 900, and that next years cleanup will be immensely greater than that, since many claims discovered and opened this spring show high values, but are not sufficiently developed yet to yield much in the cleanup. Your readers may not all understand that the clean up can occur but once a year-durina the spring thaw. At other times, not only the dirt itself, but all water, is frozen solid.
 It is an astonishing country Its richness and it's opportunities cannot be disputed. There is no gold about here, however, though many people are prospecting for it The country rock is not the right sort Some min eral is occasionally found but it is barren sulphurets. Henry Siemer's prediction that no gold of importance would be found in the Granite seems to have been correct. The Walsh creek and Hootalingua diggings have amounted to nothing. All the rich diggings are on slate bed rock with the fracture turned up stream

HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.
The Speed of Locomotive Equlpped
 With Cleveland Cylinder.

Chicago, July 18.-"All I want is the opportunity and the proper conditions to demonstrate to Chicago engineers that I can run a locomotive equipped with the Cleveland cylinder 500 miles in five hours"
 "A. M. Peterson, wealthy Canadian, who is at the home of his brother, with a look of perfect confidence in his eyes, made this assertion. He is big man with a square chin and talks not eyasively, but directly and impress iyely. He believes the Cleveland cyl finder in which he is interested, is bound to modify railroading and man ufacturing from a mechanical stand point. He talks with authority be- cause the Intercolonial railroad of Canada, after investigation and trial, has adopted the power-saving cylinder on it's engines. Locomotive No. 59 is already equipped with the device, and the testimony of its engineers confirms the assertion that this inven- ton is to usher in a new era in rail- road annals. .erf-,
 The device is the discovery of Will liam F. and Eugene W. Cleveland of Rounthwaite, Manitoba. For over five years they labored, but it was only within the past year that success was assured.
 The new cylinder is best described in
 MT. Peterson's own language. He said, in reference to the locomotive on
 which the invention has been applied so satisfactorily: "The appearance Of No 59 is little changed since the
 Cleveland patent was attached to if A lengthening of the cylinder and the smoke box is most noticeable. The
 main points of the device are a dou- ble piston with a central exhaust called the main exhaust Steam is
 admitted at one end of the cylinder. Near the end of the stroke the piston
 steam escaping explosively into the chamber between the pistons. The
 chamber is connected with and al- ways open to the smokestack. This
 main exhaust port remains open till the stroke is concluded and till the steam, which is admitted at the other
 end of the cylinder, causes the piston to return and cover the port again When the steam port becomes an ex- haust, called supplementary port, the tO1uluS O4 S(CdIu lClI lAl tQ0 " T.
 finder finds an escape into the stack through the nozzle. The same opera tion takes place on the opposite side of the cylinder"
 MT. Peterson makes the following claims for, the new cylinder: No resistance in cylinder, even at-
 mospheric being reduced. Compression comfortable. - No condensation discoverable. Remarkable smoothness of action,
 reducing cost of repairs and saving
 roadbed.
 A saving of fuel of from % to 40
 per cent.
 similar saving in water evapora- tion.
 Increased power.
 Increased speed
 Engine No. 59 has made some re-
 markable runs over the Intercolonial railroad during the last six months.
