sympathy Not what was wanted.


A native. of the mountain district Of
journey recently and before starting
took out an accident policy. He chanc-
ed to be one of the victims of a railway
collision, and the next morning his
widow, armed with a newspaper re-
port, in which his name was mention
ed among the killed, called on the
agent of the insurance company and
demanded the money.
But, madam" said the agent, 1--WE
will have to have more definite proof
before we can pay your claim"
More proofv' exclaimed the bereav-
ed woman. "Why, he's dead'rn door
nail, I reckon"
Possibly, my dear madam" an
swered the polite agent, "and I'm very
sorry"
Sorry! You are sorry, are you?"
II certainly am, madam. sincerely
sympathize with you in your sad af-
Fiction"
But hain't you goin to give me the
money what's comm to me?"
Not today. Your claim will have to
be investigated first
"That's just like good fer nothin
man." angrily retorted the bereaved
woman. you all are mighty perlite
bout things so long as they hain't
costin you nothin, but the minnet a
poor, lone female does git chance
to git holt of leetle spendin money
you got the gall to say you're sorry"

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,OOG,OOO
With it was 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 if
the wit of the paying teller had failed
him for an instant there might have
been a tragedy. But the paying teller
coolly took up the check. glanced at it
and then handed it 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 a stamp. 1t
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 $1.00O,0OO checks at
the point of gun."-Detroit Free

Telegraphers' Grip.
II have lost my grip"

Il have lost my grip"
This phrase is applied by meb 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 a loss Of the grip
and are compelled to give way tempo
rarily to a 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 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 it is com
mon thing for him to warn the taker to
look out for his Fps"
Recently he asked a fellow operator
to watch him send cps" and to stop
him at the end of the fifth dot. It re.
suited that, although he would be
warned at the fourth dot, the fingers
no longer mastered by the brain. would
continue dotting beyond the fifth

His Impressive Looks.

Trumbull's cradle was in Connects
cut. BE came of the old Jonathan
Trumbull breed. AS young man he
Went south to teach school, but he
liked it not and dipped into lawbooks.
AS soon as he was equal to his exam
nation he was called to the Georgia
bar, but he never paused to practice
there. He migrated to Illinois, then
the utter west and settled at Belle
vile, st. Clair county, in that part of
the state known as Egypt.
There he at once took leading place
at the bar He was always courtly, al
ways carefully polite, what one might
call bit cold, yet he had great sway
with the juries. He was a clear, cogent
reasoner and had trick of admon-
ishing with his forefnger Sometimes
it would seem as If that potent forefin-
ger woye spell | doubt not it has
brought many a jury in it's time to
Trumbulls side of the question.
Such were the impressive looks of
Trumbull that 1 recall what Governor
Reynolds once said of him as he closed
his argument In a law case. Trumbull
was on the other side.
"And now, gentlemen" said Reyn-
olds-as he prepared to close: 'Pve.an-
swered his arguments, I've overturned
his statement of facts, I've undone the
fallacious law he has announced to
you; but. gentlemen, the man never
lived who can reply to his looks!"-Chi-
