settles the Counterfeits.

When person comes into "Old Man"
Smiths cigar store and hands him
money in return for 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 1t under the to.
bacco cutter, or his money tester. as he
calls it, and sewers it in two.
One day last week a 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. 1t had a dull color and was not
as heavy as an ordinary half dollar.
The proprietor walked over to where
the tobacco was, and, taking down a
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.

New York Is ProvincinI.

Perhaps there is no city quite so pro-
vincial as New York, says A. Maurice
Low in The Atlantic, due to the fact
that the average New Yorker, whether
in society or business. has got into the
habit of patronizing the Inhabitants Of
any other city. The New York busi-
ness man complacently feels that the
rest of the country is financed by New
York and must do as New York tells it.
The society man or woman of New
York believes that outside of New
York, with few exceptions, there is no
society worthy of the name, and what
society does exist is merely a bad imi-
tation of its New York prototype.

A MUTUAL SURPRISE.
rhe Meeting Between an Ambitious
Hunter and His First Grizzly.

In Sketches of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert S. Evans tells an
amusing anecdote of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly bear
in procession. The incident occurred
in the woods near the site of the pres
ent town of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of a tree and unwittingly went
to sleep. When he woke. it was near
sunset, and he sat up, rubbing his eyes
and contemplating a return to his hotel
several miles distant.
Just. then a rustling and cracking
noise from a clump of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his attention.
Out walked grizzly bear, a monarch
of his kind. He yawned, licked his
jaws and then advanced toward the
tree where our hunter sat, but evident
ly was unconscious of his presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about 20 PAGES when female bear fol
lowed him, and an instant later third
grizzly followed her at a slow, sham
bling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
80 yards. Then, scarcely realizing
what he did, he sprang to his feet and
uttered frenzied yell-yell upon yelll
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air, turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down, rolled over hers gathered himself
up and bolted like 40 carloads of
rock going down a shoot" straight for
the chaparral again. the other two
bears close at his heels and never turn
ing to see what had frightened them.
The hunter. seeing the enemy re-
treating, sprang to his feet and fled at
top speed for the hotel. leaving hat and
gun behind. The truth of his wild and
startling tale was proved the next day
by the numerous bear tracks of differ
ent sizes found in the marshy ground
near by. But the three bears had gone
off beyond pursuit

No deeds Of fame ensArined his name,
No laurel wreath OF bay.
And yet he made earlh happier;
He whistled on the wayl
When sorrow frowned and stars -'ere drowned
In stormy skies and gray,
He saw the light stream through the night;
He whistled on the wayl
And even grief found sweet relief,
Hope shed brighter ray
And hearts he knew not blessed him
For whistlins on the wayi
And when from lifes dark shadows

Abraham Lincoln was a captain of

Life of Lincoln relates that during
this campaign Lincoln once had his
company marching in column 20 men

ed with a high fence with an open
gate, through which only one man
could pass at a time. He had no idea
of the proper way to get his men into
single file, so he halted the company

SINKING SHIPS.
They Don't Linger In Midocenn. hut
Go TO the Bottom.

Go TO the Bottom.
What becomes of the ships that sink
at sea? Do they go all the way to the
bottom or Go they meet somewhere I'M
der the surface a certain pressure that
buoys them up and holds them in equi-
librium? Somebody. we forget who it
is, has given rein to his grewsome fan
cy and pictured all the ships that have
been lost in midocean as wandering
about like so many ghosts half way be-
tween the surface and the bottom.
There is no foundation whatever for
such notion, though many persons
have it, Any object that will sink be-
meath the surface of the sea will go all
the way to the bottom. The pressure
encountered on the way down, which is
simply enormous in the deeper parts,
has nothing to do with the objects
sinking, for it is exerted on the object
as well as on the water thus equalizing
the conditions.
The reason why the object sinks to the
bottom is that water is not comnressi-
BILE; at least it is so little so that it's dem
sity at the bottom of the sea is only a tri-
de greater than it is at the surface. Sci
entists tell us tsat the water at the bot
tom is just about as much denser than
the water at the surface as sea water
is denser than fresh water.
This slight difference in density,
therefore, does not and cannot stop the
downward course of a sinking ship or
any object that is heavy enough to
sink rapidly beneath the surface. Pres
sure, as we have said, is not factor
in the case at all.-Chicago Record.

THE BAND PLAYED "DlxlE.'
And SOusa Won the Hearts of the
People at 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 us. Before the exercises a
local committee waited upon me and
intimated that Dixie" was d popular
melody in that vicinity.
"Of COURSE" said the spokesman, I'VE
don't want you to play anything you
don't want to, but please remember
sir, that we are very fond of Dixie
here"
Bowing gravcly. | 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 glorics of the American flag,
and naturally the only appropriate mu-
SIC 10 Sucn II sentiment WIS L he star
Spangled Banner." which the crowd
patriotically chcered.
The tone of the succeeding Grafton
was equally feryid. but the speaker en-
larged upon the glories of the common
wealth whose one hundredth anniver-
sary was being celebrated. The orator
sat down. and there was momentary
pause. ana 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
