THE BANK CASHIER,
His Interesting story of How re Did
Not Rob the Bank Vault.

Il was cashier of a bank in Pennsylva-
mia good many years ago" suid the man
who was travelling on Il dcadhead pass,
land after Il couple Of years | made up
my mind that things were too slow for
me. In other words, l decided to gobble
up what money l could and skip for Eu-
rope and go into business on my own
hook. / bided my time, and one night,
when l knew | could lay my hands on
about 100000, prepared to bid the town
Soodby. l had key to the bank and an
other to the vault, and as we had no
Waterman inside l had no trouble in get
ting in. 1t was about midnight when
made my raid. and | hadn't opened the
vault yet, when the bank door was I'M
locked, and the president entered. He
had an empty carpcthag under his arm
and got weak III the knees when he saw
me. We hadn't passed question when
another key clicked. and the manager en-
tered. lie also had an empty carpethag,
and he also got weak in the knees. The
three of us sat down, each with an empty
bag at his feet, and looked at each other
for long time. 1t was the president
who spoke first, and he said:
Il was worried about the funds in the
vault
80 was l." said the manager.
$50 was l." added.
"And hadn't We better see if they are
safe?'
81 think we had"
$50 do l."
Then the president unlocked the vault
and the three of us stepped inside and
assured ourselves that the funds were all
right. As we came out and the doors
were locked behind us he said
Il found this old carpetbag on the
street as came along"
"And l found this" said the manager.
"And found this" added
"There was an interval of painful 81
lcnce, and we all walked out together.
The outside Waterman came up as we
did so, and the president observed:
Special meeting, you see, James. You'd
better go inside for the rest of the night"
Eyes, inside" said the manager
"Yes, inside. James," | added
flames was locked in the bank" CON
tfnued the eXcashier. 'and we babe each
other good night and separated 1t was
an even up thing SO far as it went, and it
ought to have been so to the end, but the
honest man is always the one to suffer.
Next day l got the bounce. The presi-
dent said that he and the manager had
been thinking things over and had come
to the conclusion that had been tempt
ed to rob the bank and would have got
away with every dollar if they hadn't
happened to show up. was honest in
acknowledging it and had to go. and be-
lieve they had their salaries raised for
their zeal and - solicitude." - Chicago

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE.

Worry, Not DyspcnmIa. Is HurryinG
rs to the Grave.
The breakdown in American life comes
from worry, and worry has almost come
to be national disease. If an American
has no money. he worries himself into a
state of mind and when he gets money
he worries himself to death for fear he
will lose it. He worries 1T his work be
cause he is afraid he will not accomplish
what he is given to do. lie worries about
his meals; they are not on time, or they
may disagree with Kim, or they may be
costing him too much. If he pays for Il
thing in advance, lie is afraid il will not
come up 10 the specifications. and if he
gets it on credit he is afraid that he will
| not he able to pay for it when the bill
comes in.
lie is afraid to leave his money in the
house lest it be stolen. He is afraid 10
carry it with him lest somebody shoul!
borrow it from him. He is afraid to put
it in bank lest the bank should fail. Ana
so lie worries about it, He worries about
his business, whether it is going smoothly
or not. He worries about his family,
about the education of his children and
the progress they are making. He wor-
rleS about the nation, about congress,
about the two great political parties.
about the national conventions, about the
gubernatorial elections, about the tariff
and financial questions, about the initiative
and referendum, about the abstract right
of secession, about the decadence of poll
tics, about civil service reform, about
sanitation. the water and gas questions,
the paving of streets. the street car sys.
TEN, the class of plays at the theaters,
the nomination for mayor and the cleo
ton of school visitor in the 'steenth civil
district.
He either sleeps too much or he sleeps
too little. He has an idea that life is Il
conspiracy and that he must preserve
eternal vigilance or the conSpirators will
get him. He lives so much on his nerves
that he gets angry on slight provocation
and thus wastes more tissue.
The true secret of health and life and
success is cheerfulness. The man who
does his appointed task without being
fussy will live good deal longer. Don't
worry" and Don't he afraid" are two
very good rules to observe. The American
people must learn these rules by heart
and put them into practice if they wish
to live long and prosper.-Memphis Com

A PADDLE IN THE KIRK.
How Remenyi's Playing Once Broke
Up n Scotch Congregation.

Up n scotch Congregation.
A good many years ago Remenyi visit.
ed Grand Haven. Mich. He and his
company gave concert there on a Sat
urday night, intending to take the Good
rich boat for Chicago the following Sun
day evening. His wonderful playing SO
greatly pleased his audience that the
next morning, just before service COM
menced in the Presbyterian church, the
members of the choir decided it would
enhance the programme to secure his
services.
The church was only n few doors from
the hotel, so. without consulting the trus-
tees or elders, the leader sent an usher
with polite note of invitation to Mr..
Remenyi to join the choir. The violinist
seemed much pleased, and willingly con-
sented to help swell the music with his
Cremona. little thinking how it would
stir the "bluid' of the Scottish members
Of the church.
He received broadside of angry and
Mortified chances as he passed up the
aisle behind the usher, and when he be-
gan to tune the "viol'' Brother Thamson
arose, gathered his family and fled from
the wrath to come" Then Pcrcival did
likewise, followed by Johnny Boodge and
all the Mucdonalds. McL"ols. McDou-
gals and Robcrtsons. Captain Lootit
waited until the iirSt hymn was sung
with the violin oblisato. and he, too
joined the gathering clans outside, say
ing:
''Hoot, mon. what Il sacreleegp. tae

Zen sa," said Thamson, IAN it'll be
lang day afore I'll daur tae set my tut
inside the kirk ag'in; twill be u meeracle
if she's no struck by lightning"
Remenyi watched the exodus without a
shade of annoyance on his smiling face
and seemed to put as much soul into his
music as though he were playing for
money. After service was over the mem
bers of the choir, who We're bit EN-
barrasscd at the turn Caledonian senti-
ment had taken, began to offer apologies
and try to smooth matters over, but he
only laughed.

some of them never came back. But to
