 The woman was i'll great hurry.
 Identifiedi'' she said. "Why, 1 haven't time to go and get nybody to identify mel Besides, I don't know three people in town
 "I'm sorry" said the teller. but tue rule is invariable. ;
 But" protested the woman, 1T really am the Mary L. Brown named on the check. You don't doubt that. do you?'
 The teller looked embarrassed.
 It's only form, madam, he said, "but we must insist on some identifica- tion.
 A happy thought struck the woman. Her name was on her handkerchief.
 Would the name on my handker- chief be any Identification? she asked. The teller replied that it would.
 "Well, then, said she majesticaily, handing over the square of linen, per haps you'll be good enough to give me the money nowp'
 The teller examined the handkerchief and handed it back without word. In one corner was daintily written in in- delible ink, Sarah Jones.
 The check was not cashed till next day, and the newly arrived woman has discharged her laundress. Washington Post,

He Was Used to It.

A young man, faultlessly dressed and not at all i'll looking. took seat in a Broadway car few days ago, and, with the air of one well satisfied with himself, spread out morning newspa- per and commenced to read. 4 woman near him glanced out of the window, and in turning her head caught sight of his cheek. Instantly she gave little scream, went to the other side of the car and took hold of strap.
 Did you see the mouse?' whispered her friend, who was also standing.
 "Did l: We'll. it nearly frightened me to death. "
 And the young man with the birth mark on his cheek read calmly on.- New York Tribune.
