A WOMAN OF PocKETBooKs.

Discoveries and Reflections OF a Theat-
regoer Who Lost Hers.
Two young women went to matinee
last Wednesday, and on coming out
after the performance one of them mis-
sed her pocketboolz, says the New York
Sun. She had been holding it in her
lap, and had become excited over the
play that she forgot all about her mon
ey. AS soon as she discovered her loss
she rushed back to the theatre, which
was all but emptied of its audience,
and made search for her missing
property in and about the seat she had
occupied. No pocketbook was found.
''Oh, know it's gone" she said, de-
sparingly, to her compaion, as she
walked up the aisle.
Somebody found it and stole it."
said her friend, sympathetically.
| Standing in the rear of the theatre
was a nicely dressed woman, about
thirty, who had been watching the two
girls in their useless search.
did you lose anything?" the woman
asked, as the girls came up.
Yes my pocketbook, said the VIC
tim of her own excitement.
rs this it?" inquired the woman,
holding out a. HANDSOME pocketbook
with silver monogram.
The young woman who had lost her
purse replied that it was not, in des-
pairing tones.
well, / have two Others said the
woman. Describe the one you lost.
Perhaps I have it,
The Girl described her missing prop
erty, whereupon the woman drew from
a muff the lost pocketbook and handed
it to the girl. So surprised was the
young woman at it's unexpected return
that she hurriedly took It, and with a
"Thank YOU" left the theatre with her
friend
After the two were on the street again
they began to wonder how that woman
came to have three pocketbooks in her
possession. They had been thinking it
over ever since, and with Sherlock
Holmes ingenuity they have decided
that she is professional pocketbook
finder, who goes to matinee every
Wednesday and every Saturday, and as
she comes out of the theatre looks for
pocketbooks on the floor. These young
woman say that there never was a
matinee in the world where at least
two women didn't lose their pocket
books. They are firmly convinced that
the woman of the three Docketbooks
makes 1t her business to corral pocket
books and other missing property as
she comes out and then stands in the
lobby waiting the return of the losers

THE NEW SMALL BANKS.

The fact that only thirty per cent. of
the capital of the small banks recently
organized has been invested in bonds
as security for circulation is attracting
some attention. The Iron Age is dis
posed to regret the failure of the new
small banks in the rural districts to
issue all the currency they can Still
without such issue such banks, the Age
thinks, do great service in the commu-
mites where they exist by inducing peo-
pie to deposit their money and thus put
it in circulation. The rural districts
lack circulation, it is often said, be-
cause they are poor-they have no col
lateral. But if they had few assets
they would not expect to engage in OPP
erations requiring much money The
hardship of this position in reality is
felt to be the fact that though there is
plenty of property and credit there is
not money enough for current needs
This lack, the Age contends, is mainly
lack of banking facilities and will be
corrected where banks exist to collect
money of the people out of their old
stockings and put it into circulation.
There is commonly in every community,
it is believed, enough money for it's
uses, provided it is in movement and
not allowed to stagnate in private
boards 1.-THE volume of currency" ac-
cording to the Age, lis adequate for the
trade of the country if it is in constant
circulation, and this can only be the
case where the currency can be depos-
tied in banks and checks drawn against |
1t. If the new national banks are State |
or private banks put under national law |
for the sake of the circulation they |
mean little addition to the banking ia
cilities; but if they are additional banks
they provide an important relief for
that scantiness of currency which is so
complained of in the agricul-
.ural regions"
Perhaps one reason why the new I
small banks haven't put out more mon
" is because there isn't such a profit in
he operation as there is commonly sup
posed to be.

A Public Exhibition of the Cooling
Process of Love.
There was only one man in the room
He had come with his wife--his very
young wife, who was indeed too young
to have outgrown her taste for Gibson
pictures. Presumably he was much in
love- Only that condition Of affairs
could explain his having come; but he
was bored, dreadfuily bored, and he
looked it.
Now, it is exceedingly unwise to look
bored when ones bride Is reveling in
sentiment and looking volumes of

where athletic young men in golf
clothes make heavy love to preternatu-
rally long young women with dropping
eyelids. A bridegroom of proper feel
ing would disdain public scrutiny and
get in some heavy work of his own, but
this particular young man did not rise
to the occasion, Perhaps the fact that
there wasn't another animate man
within sight and that the place
swarmed with matinee girls embar-
raised him. Perhaps he realized that
he wasn't at all the type Of fellow be-
fore whose pictured glory femininlty
was bowling down and burning incense,
and he resented comparison
At any rate he was distinctly unre-
sponsible; one might have called him
sulky. His wife Joined the gurgIing

BETTER THAN A PLEDGE.
How DR. John Wesley Brown Helped a

How DR. John Wesley Brown Helped a
Man to Give up the Liquor Habit.
| A Cleveland man tells this pathetic
and characteristic story of the late Rev.
DR.. John Wesley Brown, the incident
occurring while he was rector Of Trini-
ty church in this city. The story was
told the narrator by the doctor himself.
One evening a stranger called at the
rectory on Superior street, adjoining
the church. He was well dressed,
well appearing man, but evidently in
deep trouble.
"Dr. Brown" he said, 81 have come
to. you for advice and assistance. I am
a victim of the drink habit. I have an
excellent position-I am cashier. for a
wealthy corporation-and | know [ can
not retain it unless / reform. / want
you to draw up a pledge for me--make
it as strong as you can, please-and |
will sign it. and you will witness it."
Or. Brown leaned back and looked at
the man.
How long have you been drinking to
excess?' he asked
The man told him he had been drink
ing for five or six years; ever since he
obtained his present position. He only
drank to excess when he was with his
frineds. He never drank at other times.
When he was with his frinels lac would
forget himself and overstep the limit
Sometimes he didn't go on a spree for
a whole month, but the attacks We're
growing more frequent. He seemed to
be losing his will power.
My friend" said the Doctor you
don't need pledge. I see i'll you vic
tim of good comradeship. You are far
from being an ordinary drunkard. If
you signed a temperance pledge and
broke it-as You undoubtedly would do
it would still further degrade you in
your own eyes. l do not advise the
pledge"
The man looked COMPOUNDED.
But what am | to do?" he gasped.
The doctor drew card from his desk

md rapidly wrote a few lines.
"rhAre . he said "read that"

and rapidly wrote a few lines.
There" he said 'read that"
! This is what the man read:
ITO my friends find l am becoming
vistim of the liquor habit. If | do
not quit I am sure to lose my position
and ruin myself For Gods sake,
! don't ask me to drink with you"
There" said DR.. Brown, Sign that
and I will sign it as a witness. All L
ask OF you is to show the card when
Temptation is at your elbow, and If you
fall come here and tell me about it.
There! good night"
1t was a full month before the man
returned, worried and detected
Il expected you long before this
said the doctor. as he greeted the
show the card?"
Yes" replied the man. 1.-THE first
time was the very next night after /
called on you. A good friend, rail-
road man, came into the office, and
after l had checked up his accounts
said: Come, Charlie, let's go over to
the Oyster House and have a drink
Well, sir, I was reaching for my hat
when / remembered the card. J. took it
out and handed it to him. I thought
he would never finish reading ii. He
looked at me and he looked at the card.
And then he slowly put his arm down
on the counter and said: Charlie. I'd
sooner cut that hand off than ask you
to drink gain Well, sir, showed that
card several times after that, and every
blessed man I showed it to took it Sc
liously. Sometimes they said, All
right, old boy Sometimes they laid 1t
down without a word. And then-it
was last night forgot about it, and
here am"
You are doing WE'LL" said the doctor.
Have courage and try and make the
interval little longer next time
1T was three months before the man
came back. The next time 1t was six
month.
And now" said the doctor to the
narrator. ut is nearly tow years since
helast called, and I have every reason
to believe that he will not find it nee
essary to come to me again. So, you
see, | was quite right. 1t wasn't a
pledge that he needed. "--Cleveland |

And then she changed her signature

in her home in Marlborough, Surrey,

AS usual he had memoranda furnished

He did not, however, clap the manu-

predecessors have done, with a few
erasures and interlineatons, but he
carefully rewrote every line submitted
by his Cabinet Ministers and other Of

A Maine Corn Pack Record.

A Maine dealer has this to say about
the corn prospects for 1900:
Notwithstanding that the pack of
Maine corn, last year, was 900 900 cases.
which is the largest pack by $50, 600
cases ever known in this State, aud it
has all been closed out with the excep-
ton of not more than 5000 or 10000
cases.
1.-The advance over prices from the
crop Of 1899 and the future pack of the
State, of the 1900 crop, has been largely
sold; In fact, two thirds of the possibl
pack, while nearly all the small packers
are entirely sold out.
1.-THE fact that an association of pack
ers and capitalists has been formed in
Maine for the purpose of prosecuting
any party or parties who attempt to ust
Maine labels on corn packed out of the
State has caused many western buyers
TO turn their attention 10 Maine goods.
sit is understood generally that this
association means business. TO those
not Acquainted with the trade it may b.
well to meDtion that quite a number of
New York and western packers have
been in the habit of using Maine labels
upon corn packed in other States. They
thus get for inferior goods higher price
than they otherwise would.
