A WOMAN WITH A CHECK
Invasion of Bank by Teacher With
Ideas Of Her Own

A middle-aged spinster who wore
glasses and whose voice was thin
stepped up to the paying teller's win
dow in a Brooklyn bank, and, holding
out a check, said imperatively:
please give me the money for this
check"
The teller saw that the check was
drawn on a western bank apd made
payable to MARY Eliza Smith," or a
name like that.
What is your name, madam" he
asked.
'Is that any business of yours, sir?"
returned the woman.
Certainly it is, or shouldn't ask It,"
well, you can read it on that check,
then
you are Mary Eliza Smith, then?"
said the teller, still in doubt
"Yes, am; and a teacher in the pub
lie schools. have no time to proong
this conversation, young man, and will
be obliged to you for the $50 mentioned
in that check"
the teller.
Indeed, l haven't. I would not have
If I could. Why, l never met such an
illquiSitlNe youHS HILL
''But do not know that you are Mary
Eliza Smith"
Indeed" said the woman with elabo-
rate scorn. Il have told you that 1 was
several times. Now, young man, I want
my money"
II can't cash that check" said the
teller.
why not? This is a bank, isn't it?"
Yes, but you must bring some one
here to identify you"
Identify mel Me! Well, well, young
man! Is the president here?'
Yes, madam. He Is in the back Of
flee" And before the teller could send
warning to the president Miss Smith
bounced into his office. She told him
that she had been insulted, and that she
should sue the bank.
You pretend, SIR" she said, "that
this is bank. A bank is place where
checks are cashed. l offered a check
here. and that fresh young man wanted
me to tell him all about myself and have
some one identify me into the bargain
Why, l was teaching in the Brooklyn
schools before he was born!"
But you see, madam, you have nc
account here" said the president, "and
we don't know you. We have no means
of knowing that the check is good"
why, the ideal" calculated Miss
Smith. DO you suppose I am forger?'
mo, madam; but as matter of pre-
caution, we must ask you for some iden-
tification.'
Indeed, I would not so humiliate my
self" said Miss Smith, haughtily. 81
will go to another bank, and see If
can find a gentleman who will respect
lady" And out she walked
The president of the bank was the
man who told the story, and he has since
learned that the woman is a teacher il
a Brooklyn school.
Some women have queer ideas abou
banking" he added.-New York Sun.

Cucumbers Kill Reaches

If you have any reaches that think
they are going to spend the winter with
you, and you want to get rid of them,
try the remedy suggested by an expert
enced housekecper. "Cucumbers," she
says, are a most effectual destroyer.
Simply scatter the peel or trimmings
about in the places where the reaches
are seen. The roach eats them and
thereby ends his existence. In case the
roach does not feel hungry enough the
first night and the cucumber is not
sufficiently attractive, throw the trim
mings into the stove the next morning
and set out fresh lot the next night.
The green coloring matter that kills the
reaches is the same thing that makes
cucumbers so annoying at times to the
human family"

Reflections of a Bachelor

Every rose has few thorns and every
woman has lot of pins stuck in her.
1t is what we don't think that makes
us innocent, and what we don't do that
keeps us So
Nothing spoils a woman SO for the men
as to get the reputation of being ''wel
informed"
The fatter and plumper a woman gets
the more she longs to have some man
call her his little girl
The average girl begins to hint around
to her husband that he ought to get his
life insured long before she can say she
only wants it for the sake of the chill
dren.
The reason why very tall girls don't
get married easily is because whenever
they try to act like little helpless, nest
ling things that want to be taken care
of, they get ridiculous.-New York

Prohibition That Prohibits

Whatever the deepwater sailors in
clination may be, he gets no liquor to
drink at sea unless it comes from aft
and is dealt out to him. When the men
that make up the crew go aboard, which
they do Just before the ship sails, their
traps are searched, and if whisky is
found it goes usually over the side;
sometimes the captain takes charge of
it and deals it out to the men in bad
weather. 1t might be possible for a
sailor to smuggle aboard little whisky,
enough to last for day, but after that
he would be most likely total abstainer
until the ship reached port.

In case OF the expected lombard
ment of Manila, the area to which the
Spanish nay retire will be limited to-
the American and insurgent lines sur
rounding the city. There may come the
struggle, for the Spaniards have bur
rowed entertainments and fortified the
hills n knobs. 1t is known here that
every enegy is bent within the city
to prepare il for the fina struggle. The
people are exhorted by the clergy and
military authorities and their hopes
are buoyed by false reports as TO re-
lief from Spain. and Spanish triumph
in the West Indies and along the At
lantic coast.
August is credited with an asSer-
ton thai he can muster $50. 600 troops.
No one seriously believes that he can
marshal 20. 600. The city seems as
nearly ready for the conflict as the
material in the hands OF h Spanish
can make IL.

were busy yesterday obtaining recruits

themselves with bull fights and such
entertainments as belong to ordinary
peaceful times. Probably ministers
disagree regarding peace, but they are
unanimous in diSclaiming responsible
ity for General Toral's surrender at
Santiago"
The Madrid correspondent of The
Daily Mail says: Unless peace makes
speedier progress, the queen regent
will seriously consider changing the
ministry. General Polavieja is regard

Looking for Geological Specimens and
Fossils.

FOSSILS.
Three students from Cornell Uni
versity, Utica, N. Y, arrived here
from New Bern and went up yester-
day to E~lizabethtown and Lyons
Landing, Bladen county, to search for
geological and fossil specimens for the
university museum. They will also
visit the section around Currie, having
been informed that fossils are in evil
dence in the vicinity of all three of the
places named.
The young men came to New Bern
in a steam launch and thence by rail
to Wilmington. There were five in
the party, but two have gone to Ala
bama to look for specimens and will
rejoin the others lower down the coast.
The party carries hammocks and
blankets around with them and are
roughing it, swinging their hammOcks
and sleeping wherever they want to
stop.
While in Wilmington the three
students visited the Clarendon
Waterworks Company's station at Hill
ton, and were much interested in the
takings from the artesian we'll there.
Cornell University makes an annual
appropriation to secure specimens
and the young men are going ~leisurely
along the Atlantic Coast to see what
they can find for the museum.
