he offered TO pay the regular fare of

Bank Impertinence.

The philadelphia Record tellssof an
old Pennsylvania farmer who recently
came into possession Of q check for
5000. It caused him a great deal Of anx-
iety, and for long time he could not
muster up the courage tohave it cashed.
Finally, while on a trip to town, he
summoned up nerve enough and, stroll
ing into the bank, presented the check.
The teller glanced at it hastily, and
then, after the fashion of his kind,
brusquely asked, What denomina-
tion:'' Sss
Lutheran, gole-durn it! But what's
tibet got tew do with it?' as brusquely
replied the old farmer, to the great as
tonishment Of the bank official.
It required several minutes explana-
tion before the teller could get the old
mal to understand his question, and
then the latter took his money and de-
parted, with sundry growls derogatory
to banks in general.

a LAKE PILOTS LEG.

How 1t Solved the Mystery of the
Wreck of a Steam Propeller.
We are never amazed when vessels
go aground and are wrecked on Lake
Erie during the gales that are common
on that treacherous water, for we ex-
peot such things then, y said lake
skipper, .'but when one is grounded on
clear day and wrecked on course as
clear as the day in the hands of pilot
that knows the ground like book we
naturally wonder little and want to
know the why's ndiwherefore Such
was the case Of the propeller Susan 81
Peck that went aground near Bar point
and was lost with $40, 600 cargo.
'The captain of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds of times
between Point Pelee and Bar point and
in all kinds of weather, and this time
he had wheelman who was known
from one end of the lake to the other as
one of the most expert navigators in
the lake business. He had been lying
up long time, for the very good reason
that owing to an accident to one of his
legs that leg had to be amputated to
save his life. The lost member was re-
placed by an artificial leg, and then the
pilot was ready to take his post at the
wheel again. His first service after his
misfortune was this trip of the Susan
e. Peck, and he ran her aground.
'"The puzzle to everybody was how
it was possible for the propeller, ham
died by man Of such skill and expert
ence, on straight course only 40 miles
long and with every sailing condition
favorable, to leave her course. The pilot
was the most puzzled and astounded
person Of all. He soon got another ves-
sci, and this one he ran in such an err
ratio manner, but fortunately with no
disastrous result, that he was compelled
to give her up, and his usefulness as
pilot was gone. He and others went to
investigating to see if they could dis
cover what was wrong with his sea-
1nanship -s..@
''After awhile they discovered what
they believed was the trouble. In the
pilots artificial leg great deal Of steel
had been used in the joints and other
places. Sitting close to the biEnaole. as
he did while steering. this steel derang
ed the compass so that it threw the
wheelman way off his reckoning and
led to the wrong plotting that had
wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endan-
70 other vessel that the wheel
igated subsequently,. This was
= argued, and to demonstrate
Etness Of the theory the pilot
