Settles the counterfeits.

When a person comes into Goldman"
Smiths cigar store and hands him
money in return 70. something pur-
chased, the old man can ascertain by a
single glance or touch whether the
money is good or counterfeit If the
money is bad, he puts it under the to-
bacco cutter, or his money tester, as he
calls it, and sewers it in two.
One day last week q rough looking
young man came into his store and
asked for a piece Of chewing tobacco
At the same time he laid so <.cent
piece lightly on the counter. The'old
man picked up the money and: looked
at It. It had dull color and was not
as heavy as an ordinary half dollar.
The proprietor walked over to where
the tobacco vas, and, taking down q
piece Of the brand the young man had
called for, he pretended to put it under
the tobacco cutter, but instead he Slip
ped in the counterfeit piece and cut it
into halves. He then handed the two
pieces to the young man and command
ed him to "get," which he promptly
did.-Chicago Record

THE BAND PLAYED "OIXlE."

And Sousa Won the Hearts of the
People ut Fayetteville.
When North Carolina celebrated it's
centenary, the Marine band was order
ed to Fayetteville to participate in the
ceremonies, said Bandmaster Sousa.
The little southern town was much in
terested in the advent of the "presi-
dents band" and the prevailing opin-
ion was that Dixie would be tabooed
music with u.s. Before the exercises a
local committee waited upon me and
intimated that "Dixic" was popular
melody in that vicinity.
"Of course" said the spokesman, Eve
don't want you to play anything you
don't want to, but please remember,
sir, that We arc very fond Of Dixie
here"
Bowing gravely, thanked the COM
mittee for their interest in my pro-
gramme, but left them completely in
the dark as to whether intended to
play the loved song of the south or not
The ceremonies opened with patri-
otic address by Governor Fowle laud-
ing the glories of the American flag,
and naturally the only appropriate mu-
sic to such q sentiment was The Star
Spangled Banner" which the crowd
patriotically cheered.
The tone Of the succeeding Grafton
was equally fervid, but the speaker en-
larged upon the glorles Of the common
wealth whose one hundredth anniver-
sary was being celebrated. The orator
sat down, and there was momeptary
pause, and then as raised my baton
the strains Of Dixie" fell upon the de-
lighted ears Of the thousands round the
platform.
The unexpected had happened, and
such q shout as went up from that
throng l have never heard eQualed.
Hats were tossed in the air, gray. hair
ed men embraced, and for a few min
utes a jubilant pandemonium reigned
supreme. During the rest Of our stay
in Fayetteville the repertory Of the Ma
rine band was on this order: yankee

ner," Dixie" "Red, White and Blue"
"Dixie."-Youth's Companion.

While half dozen members OF the Ig-

session 70 begin. the conversation turned
upon Harry y. PIllsbury's recent exploit
OF playing twenty games OF chess simul-
taneously, without seeing the boards or
the men. The performance was charact-
erized by the majority Of those present as
"a marvellous exercise of the faculty OF

1T was nothing of the kind spoke up

which memory played in it has been much
exaggerated.
How do you make that out?''

the faculty Of memory. The phrenologists
do not recognize 1t. There is no bump of
memory on their map Of the human head.
They hold that what is commonly called
memory is only a specialized train or
