ALL ABOUT A SIGNATURE.-Tellers
and clerks of savings banks have a
rare opportunity to study human ma
ture. All sorts of people, with many
strange notions of the methods and
purposes of banks, come before them.
A teller of a Boston savings bank tells
a true story of good Irish-woman
who came to the bank to open an ac-
count.
"Please write your name on that
line," said the official, pushing toward
the woman book and pen.
"Do yez want me first name ?" she
asked, taking the pen in her hand.

The PUG DOG AND THE WOMAN.

A few minutes before the afternoon
train from New York got into the
PENNSYLVANIA station the other day, 8
beautiful young creature in a new
spring suit waited herself over to the
man stationed at the exit gate and
proceeded to hypnotize him.
"Will you please let me through,
she said, appealingly.
"Can't do it, miss; it's against the
rules" said the man at the gate.
"But I do so want to meet him when
he gets off," said the beauteous young
thing looking into the mans face
searchingly with her imploring violet
eyes. "And he will be so disappoin'
ted if / am not at the car to meet him
when the train gets in"
The man at the gate looked and
hesitated.
"Please, ".said the lovely young crea'
ture, rustling her silk skirts nervous
ly and seeming to hang on the gate
mans nod.
"Well, maybe I can take chance, u
said the gateman, and he pulled the
gate open and admitted her.
"S'pose she's only been married a
little while," reflected the gateman,
"and her husbands coming back after
being away the first time since they
were spliced, and she wants to hand
him out the big hug before he's more'n
landed from the steps. Well, guess
we all have it that bad, once in our
lives, anyhow" and he looked thought
fully down the siding where the radi'
ant young creature stood, impatiently
tapping her foot.
The train pulled in a couple of min
utes after. The young woman ran
alongside the baggage car, and the
baggagemaster handed her out mis-
cradle little specimen of stuck-up
hideous-muzzled pug dog, which she
. took in her arms and loaded down with
caresses.
AS she passed out of the exit gate
with the pug in her arms, she bestow-
ed bewitching smile upon the gate
man.
"And was come-on enough to pass
her through, and to weave pipe-trances
about the reason why she wanted to
get through" said the gateman to the
station cop. "say, I don't belong here.

society reporter of daily paper had
been detailed to procure the names OF
prominent persons in attendance at q
performance of grand opera.
81 beg pardon, madam" she said,
approaching one of the occupants of q
private box, "but will you oblige me
by giving me your name ?"
"Mrs. Archibald 10 Neeze," replied
the lady.
"Pardon me-" rejoined the reporter.

"Jo Neeze."
"May ask how you spell it ?"
"Certainly. Jones, 10 Neeze,"

INCARCERATION,

Exaggeration is commonly held to
be the special vice of schoolgirls.
Their brothers, however, are seldom
wholly free from the habit, and in
fact, few of us are really accurate in
speech. Even in old times, when the
line between fact and fancy was drawn
with more severity than now, our good
Puritan ancestors occasionally slipped
across it to the wrong side.
An anecdote is related of one excel
lent divine whose essential truthful
ness was unquestioned; but whose
tongue ran into excesses disturbing to
his congregation. In the fervor OF
discourse, bis facts had way of ex-
panding and increasing almost beyond
recognition, so that he was constantly
saying things which, viewed in the af'
ter light of cold criticism, were not
true. At last deputation was sent
to demonstrate with him.
He was greatly distressed, readily
promised to exercise more care in the
future but before long he erred again,
carried away by his own eloquence,
and a second deputation arrived.
Again he promised amendment; but
again, after a little while, he back
slid, and third committee was sent.
The good man was thoroughly shock.
ed and repentant. He admitted every
thing.
II know but too WE'LL" he pleaded,
"that my besetting sin is exaggeration ;
but at least it is failing with which /
struggle. I have shed over it barrels
upon barrels of tears ]"
Then one deacon laughed and one
groaned and the minister looked limo.
Gently from one to the other to see
what was amiss.-Youth's Companion.
