Dog in a Divorce Court.

A certain well known inhabitant OF
Bucharest is the director of a manu-
factory which, being situated on the
outskirts of the city, he goes to early
each morning, returning late in the
afternoon.
The director was some few years
ago married to the daughter of a rich
merchant. He also possesses a SPLEEN
did bloodhound, which had become
very clever in finding and bringing
any lost object of his master or mis-
tress.
Little did the director when teaching
his dog this trick, fancy to what pur-
pose he was doing it.
Among his intimate friends he reck-
oned a certain banker and visiting
him one afternoon, accompanied by
his dog, he noticed it sniff around the
waste basket and then bring out from
among the scraps .of paper a green silk
handkerchief, which seemed strangely
familiar to him. He seized it and pock-
eted it without the banker noticing
and soon after took his leave.
The lady was packed off to her pa
rents and proceedings for a divorce
commenced. She ultimately confessed
to having given the handkerchief as
a memento, which the banker had
thrown into his waste basket to be
found by the intelligent bloodhound.

PROFIT FROM MISSING MONEY.
Bankers Derive Considerable Revenue
From the Destruction of Notes.

Bankers Derive Considerable Revenue
From the Destruction OF Notes.
From the London News.
one item of profit in the banking
business is that which Is reaped from
the notes of issue that are lost or de-
stroyed. This foots up to a consider
able sum each year, although none OF
| the Chicago bankers would become
millionaires on this account. Probably
the greatest gamer from this cause in
the world is the Bank of England. Dur
| ing period of 40 years preceding 1882
| that bank had made profit of $3.50, 900
from outstanding paper never likely TO
| be presented for payment.
When the destruction Of the irrecov-
cradle loss of note can be proved, as
in the event Of a fire or a wreck 1t
can, the bank of course will always pay
the money 1t represents, and even when
| there is doubt about it the cash is paid
on security being given for indemnify
ing the bank should the note ever be
presented.
The 100000 worth of paper-or $780,
900, as it appears to have been reduced
to-taken from PARIS bank will, there
fore, not represent a loss unless the
crisp little billets have some day to
be duly honored at the Bank of Eng
land counter In that case the cash
paid in exchange for them will have to
come out Of the Golfers of the plundered
bank.
Many years ago bank director lost
a note for $3.50 900. But, being a man
of credit, and as there was no doubt
the loss of the bill, he gave the usual
indemnity and got the money. Many
years after when the old man had long
been dead, the paper was presented.
1t was payable on demand and had
come from abroad in the ordinary way
of business, and the sum it represented
had to be handed over, and, as the in
demnity that had been given was re-
pudiated by the heirs of the man who
had given it, and for some reason could
not be enforced, the bank on that occa-
sion had to put 100000 on the debit side
of the account. For once in way they
paid double honor to a bit of their own
paper.
There is another story of sum of
100000 which the bank in its earlier
days for short time refused to hand
over in exchange for it's own notes.
They were presented by a Jew, whose
assertion that he had bought them was
not disputed, and whose personal integ-
rity was above suspicion. They had,
however, undoubtedly been stolen, and
on that ground the bank refused to pay
the money.
The Jew went out into the city and
began to spread it abroad that the bank
was shaky and couldn't cash his notes,
and, as he backed his assertion by dis
playing his indisputable paper, the as
sertion would in all probability soon
have caused run on the bank. In a
few minutes messenger came to say
that the notes would be cashed if he
would present them again.

GIRL LIKED TO BE STARED AT.
Those Who Did the Staring Were Gentle-
manly About It

VIM Dlu thc StdTlhk "cTc Scutlo-
manly About 1t.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat.
ITO say it is bad manners to stare
at women on the street is too sweeping
an assertion said an old clubman,
sagely. Bad manners are primarily
manners that give annoyance to 9TH
ers, and an honest stare of admiration
does not necessarily fall within that
category. 1t does not excite real, sure
enough, bona fide wrath in the femi-
nine breast. Yesterday afternoon, for
instance, young lady in white passed
through shopping district to a per-
feet fusillade of stares. Her gown was
plain. but chic beyond description. Her
belt was caught in front by silver
dolphin. Her hat was garnished by
two white doves wings and a big black
velvet bow. She was the incarnation
of youth and grace and beauty. and
she attracted stares as irresistibly as
a magnet attracts steel filings.
AS she glided along she left trail
of hypnotiZed onlookerS. Dudes swal-
lowed their cigarettes and staid men
of affairs stopped in the middle of sent
ences and forgot what they We're talk
ing about. When She boarded ST.
Charles street car the conductor stared
at her in blissful SPECIFICATION and
rang up nearly 81 worth of fares before
he recovered his faculties. Several pas
sengers We're carried beyond their des-
tination because they couldn't stop
staring long enough to see the streets.
But was the young lady angry? Not
bit of it. She happens to be my niece,
and / can testify that she arrived home
in a pleasurable flutter of excitement
Being a dear, sensible girl, she knew
the poor men couldn't help it. You see,
there are stares and stares. The ladies
who are first to complain are generally
those who are stared at least. That
sounds ungallant, but II is true"

crossing man, while he could continue

Are Glad to Get a glitch"

From the Chicago Chronicle.
About o'clock every evening at
Washington street and Fifth avenue
one sees policemen, all of unusually
large proportions, jumping off street
cars, trucks, express wagons and
vehicles of every sort. and he wonders
what's up. The big men in blue crowd,
regardless of any attempt at regularity,
into the old Times building.
It's only the central detail men-the
men who guard the crossings in the
down town business misunderstanding
home from work. They are picked for
their size, intelligence. of course, also
being taken into consideration. But the
men will average 200 pounds in weight
