quick witted.

ut was simply an exhibition of nerve
and quick wit" said the old banker
who was dining at his club with a
number of friends mo one but the
paying teller knew what was happen
ing at the time, and what might have
been tragedy was turned into COM
edy by his quick wit.
During the noon hour one day an
old man approached the paying teller
and presented check for $1,pOO,OOG
With it was a badly written letter to
the effect that If the immediate pay
ment Of the check was not forthcoming
the teller would have his head blown
off. He was nothing but crank, but
he had come armed for business, and IL
the wit of the paying teller had failed
him for an instant there might have
been tragedy. But the paying teller
coolly took up the check, glanced at it
and then handed 1t back with the re-
mark that the crank had neglected to
put stamp upon it. In an instant the
crank was full Of apologies at his over
sight and departed to get stamp. It
took but moment to notify the police,
and the crank was put where there is
no danger of his demanding the pay
ment of any more $1.0OOOOO checks at
the point Of un."-Detroit Free

Telesrapher., Grip.
II have lost my grip"

Il nave lost my grip"
This phrase is applied by men to all
kinds of failures. One of the technical
usages of losing ones grip is in the
case of telegraph operators.
Many of the most skilled operators
suffer at times from loss of the grip"
and are compelled to give way tempo
rarily to substitute. This grip is
the hold on the key, and the moment
the operator begins to lose the control
of this grip" he realizes a rest, al
though for only q brief time, is due
him.
Another but unpleasant term applied
to this loss Of grip" is 'telegraphers'
paralysis" 1t shows itself In many
curious ways, all showing that the
muscles brought into play in working
the key are badly worn.
One Of the most skillful operators in
Louisville. who is subject to these at
tacks, cannot send "P." The Morse
manual calls for five dots for this let
ter. The operator in question has by
some hook or crook lost the power to
stop at the fifth dot, and 1t is a COM
mon thing for him to warn the taker to
look out for his "P's."
Recently he asked fellow operator
to watch him send "P's' and to stop
him at the end of the fifth dot. 1t re-
suited that, although he would be
warned at the fourth dot, the fingers,
no longer mastered by the brain, would
continue dottinp havond tho f7fth =

An Essay ON Habit.

A schoolmaster once said to his pu-
pills that to the boy who would make
the best piece of composition in five
minutes on Glow to Overcome Habit"
he would give prize. When the five
minutes had expired. a lad of 9 years
stood up and said: well. sir, habit is
hard to overcome Ii you take off the
first letter, it does not change 'abit.'
If you take off another, you still have a
bit left. If you take off still another,
the whole of 1T remains. If you take
off another, it is not totally used up
all of which goes to show that if you
want to get rid of habit you must
throw it off altogether" Result, he
won 1t.

The Russiana.

An Englishman in Russia says that
i've may dislike Russia as we will and
perhaps must, but there is no denying
that the men and women of Russia are
good lockers" The men are tall and
well built" The women, especially
those of the upper classes, have grace
and fascination that is all their own"
The writer adds: II am tired Of hear
ing English people say that this is all
show and that if knew them better
should be greatly disappointed. Be-
hind good looks and refined manners
have found the depth and sincerity Of
the Scotch combined with the wit and
humOr Of the Irish"

some Of Its best traditions. Naturally
enough, in the eastern sections of the

PASSION PLAY REALISTIC.



Woman's Nerves.
In The Woman's Home Companion
Lillian Bell writes of her experiences
at Oberammergau and Of the impress
sions made upon her by the great
Christ drama She concludes with
these vivid words:
"As to the play itself, wish need
say nothing about it. My mind, my
heart, my soul, have all been wrench
ed and twisted with such emotion as
is not pleasant to feel nor expedient
to speak about. 1t was too real, too
heartrending, too awful. I hate, I
abhor, myself for feeling things SO
acutely. 1, wish were a skeptic,
scoffer, an atheist. wish could put
my mind on the mechanism Of the
play. wish I could believe that it
all took place 1000 years ago. wish
I didn't know that this suffering on
the stage was all actual. wish l
thought these people were really Tyro-
lese peasants, wood carvers and pot
tiers and that all this agony was only
q play. hate the women who are
weeping all around me. hate the
men who are letting the tears run
down their cheeks and whose shout
ders are heaving with their sobs. 1t
Is SO awful to see a. man cry!
"But, no; it is all true. 1t is taking
place now. l am one of the women
at the foot of the cross The anguish,
the cries, the sobs, are all real. They
pierce my heart. The cross, with it's
piteous burden, is outlined against the
real sky. The green hill beyond is
Calvary. Doves futter in and out,
and butterflies dart across the shafts
of sunlight. The expression on Christ's
face is one of anguish, forgiveness and
pity unspeakable. Then his head drops
forward on his breast, it grows dark,
the weeping becomes lamentation, and
as they approach to thrust the spear
into his side, from which, have been
told, the blood and water really may
be seen to pour forth, turn faint and
sick and close my eyes. 1t has gone
too far. I am no longer myself, but q
disorganized heap of racked nerves
and hysterical weeping, and not even
the descent from the cross, the rising
from the dead or the triumphant ascen-
sion can console me or restore my bal
ance. The Passion play but once in q
lifetime"

IN THE PATH OF THE STORM
Great Damage Reported From Vari-
GUS Points In Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 21.-The storm last
night was the most destructive in many
years. Two lives are reported lost and
much damage done at Lavergno, Ii
miles from Nashville.
At West Harpeth and Thompson's
station a number Of houses were blown
down and child was killed at Thomp-
sons station.
Two persons were killed and several
fatally injured at Nolansville, William
son county. A number of people are re-
ported to have been killed in Maury
county.
In the vicinity of Nolansville, Will
Hanson county, James Hampton was
internally injured by the storm and will
die. Emma Hampton's arm was bro
ken. Ernest Stephens was seriously in
jured. Jim Chrisman's house was blown
away and his baby is missing. Mrs.
Bromlet was killed at the home of J.
D. Sherman. Miss Mamie Hampton
was killed and Mrs. Hampton seriously
injured, both legs being broken.
Three negroes are reported killed at
Tunica, Miss, and IS persons are be.
leved to have lost their lives between
Love station and Coldwater IN that state.
These reports as yet lack confirmation.
The storm which did the damage was
but branch Of general disturbance
which has been moving in an easterly
direction from eastern Texas and which
is this morning central over the great
lakes.
The general storm, which is reported
to have gathered some energy, is, how
ever, Of little severity and will probably
pass away to the ocean during the day
through the st. Lawrence valley.
In Nashville the rainfall for the past
"a hours was 6.o02 inches, and abnor-
mally large precipitation. Memphis re-
ports 9.048 inches. The telegraph COM
panies are badly handicapped in all di-
rections by reason of the storm.

THOUSANDS TO GREET
EX-PRESIDENT KRUGER
He Did Not Reach Marseilles
Till After Dark.
RECEPTION is POSTPONED

Stage Landing Was Decorated With
the Transvaal and Free State Colors,
the French Tri- Color aud Shields
Bearing the Cross of NIarseilles.
MARsEILLEs, Nov. 2l.-In spite of
heavy rain which prevailed all night
and during the forenoon today the
streets Of Marseilles were filed from an
early hour by great crowds of people in
tent on extending a welcome to Paul
Kruger, president of the late South
African republic. At 11:30 o'clock the
steamer Gelderland, carrying the noted
voyager, not having been sighted, the
committees having the details of the re-
ception in charge, announced an adj
journment until o'clock.
Early in the day DR.. Leyds, Messrs.
Fischer and Vessels and the other Boer
delegates boarded the launch of the cap
tain of the port with the purpose of
meeting and boarding the Gelderland
outside the harbor. The sea proved too
rough, however, to permit of their car
rying out their intention and they were
obliged to return.
The landing stage was gaily decorated
with the Transvaal and Free State
colors, the French tri-color and shields
bearing the blue cross of arms of Mar
settles.
At 2 o'clock the Dutch cruiser Gel
derland, having on board former Presi-
dent Kruger of the South African re-
public, was reported to be off TOulon.
Mr.. Kruger reached this city late in the
afternoon.
Senator Pauliat, the president and
other members of the Paris and Mar
settles Railroad company assembled at
the landing stage during the forenoon,
and behind them, drawn up in a long
line, were delegations of various patri-
otto societies with embroidered silk
standards.
The Gelderland did not arrive here
until after night fall and the former
president of the Transvaal will not land
until tomorrow.

HuraI Free Delivery.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-An enthusi-

free delivery is made in the annual re.
port of w. NJ. johnson, first assistant
postmaster general. He says that the
extraordinary development of this sys.
tenn during the past 10 months under
the stimulus of appropriations Of $3.50,
600 for the fiscal year 1899 1900, and ST.,
75O, 900 for the fiscal year 1900-190l, is
conclusive as showing that hereafter it
must be a permanent and expanding
feature of the postal administration.
