The supplied choir had done Its duty
for the evening service. But all during
the church hours there had been a pc
cullar sound outside as If child were
crying. In reality 1t was something
the matter with the organ. 1t could be
heard distinctly in the auditorium or
the church. When the choir sang the
occasional and marched slowly out Of
the church into the dressing rooms,
one of the young ladies among the So
pranos asked the woman who takes
care Of the robes:
"Dld you hear that awful squeaking
out hereT
"Yes, indeed, mum; 1 could almost
understand the words"
And nothing more was said on the
subject.-Detroit Free Press.

how kamra hnnk Their money
The natives Of that part Of South
Africa which to a great extent is In
habited by bushmen and Hottentots
have a peculiar system Of banks and
banking
These Kafirs among whom this curl
Gus system of banking obtains live
near Kaffraria, In the south of the
Colony country. The natives come
down south from their country to trade
in the several villages and towns in
large numbers and then return to KAT
fraria.
From those who trade Of their own
number they select one who for the
occasion is to be their banker. He is
converted into a bank of deposit by
putting all the money Of those whose
banker he is into a bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores to buy what
ever they want.
When an article Is purchased by any
of those who are In this banking ar
rangement, the price of the article is
taken by the banker from this deposit
money bag, counted several times and
then paid to the seller of the article,
after which all the bank depositors
cry out to the banker In the presence
of the two witnesses selected:
"You owe me so muchw This Is then
repeated by the witnesses. The gen.
eral accounting comes between the
banker and his several depositors
when all desired purchases have been
made, after which all the natives de-
part for their northern wilds.

The wretched Newspaper Man.

In every city of the land the news
paper man is an outcast. He knows
more people to be a stranger to than
any other being in the world. He has
no holidays. His Christmas is the rec
ord of other mems joys. His Thanks
giving is restaurant. Even the Fourth
Of July and Sunday, servants of the
commonest man, refuse him their
cheer. The Fourth of July is the day
he must be in every place at once, be-
cause everything is happening, and
Sunday is the day he must make things
up, because nothing is happening.
His labors are our pleasures. He
gets his vacation by doing another
mans work and earns his living by
watching other people live. The very
days and the nights turn their natural
backs upon him. The lamp is his sun
by night, and the curtain is his night
by day, and he eats his supper in the
morning. His business is the refiec-
ton of. life. He is the spirit behind
the mirror. What is left to us is right
to him, and right is left. Sometimes
right side up is upside down.
The world is all awry to the newspa-
per man. 1t whirls across the hours
in columns, now in one edition and
now in another, but it heeds him never
in return. He is a spectator. The
show passes before his face-a shut
out, unsharing face. He lives as the
years go on, a notebook under the
stars, and when the notebook is scrib-
bled out he dies.-Gerald Stanley Lee

fact that they have been done up. It's
the easiest thing in the world to beat a
first class hotel. All you want is good
suit of clothes and plenty Of cheek. A
grip with few shirts and collars is as
good as a trunk.
"You drive up in style; You register to
get the best room in the house; you
bulldoze the clerks and threaten the
servants. A checkbook is good thing
to show, but you pay for nothing. You
talk in a loud voice, you make plenty
of kicks, and you order the best wines
for dinner. Lands, but me whole staff
of the house will fall over each other
to make it pleasant for you! You don't
pay the first weeks bill. On the con-
trary, you are indignant and demand
an apology. When the second week is
due, your drafts have not come.
"You will be worked out of the house,
but with gentleness and apologies.
They don't want a row, and they don't
want notorlety. You'll be forgiven II
you'll only go, and If you take up your
quarters for the next two weeks right
across the street no one from the hotel
will give you away. When a man beats
