ALL THEY SAID.


 4 lady was tripping along gaily, when all of q sudden her feet flew from under her and she slid off the sidewalk, out into the street. Col onel Long, the genial manager of the Academy of Music, who is 14 years old today, rushed to her assistance He had not taken many steps when his heels flew from under him and he slid out into the street and sat beside the lady whom he was trying to as sist. She made several efforts to get up. but failed, and the colonel was equally unsuccessful. Finally, they both ceased to make any effort, and sat there on the ground, turned their heads and looked each other. in the face. There was look of despair on Colonel Longs face, and all he said was sD-nv' The lady looked at him a second, and without cracking q smile replied, Thank you!' This was more than the bystanders could un- dergo. and, when it was seen that neither of them was injured. shout went up and willing hands assisted both of them to their feet.--Selnia let ter to Montgomery Advertiser.

THE ALPHABET OF BANKING.

With good general education, to begin, head for organization and q natural courtesy of demeanor, there is no reason why the office boy of to-day may not be the bank president of twen- ty years hence; if he will only use his opportunities, application and hard work will carry him to the top. Out side the details of his own office, he will have to study and investigate se- curities, investments, the standing of customers, letters of credit, and for eign business methods; to read all he can on banks. banking, and all else that pertains to that particular depart ment of finance. This may sound for midable: but, taken in conjunction with his daily work, and considering the amount of leisure every bank clerk has, he will not have to burn much midnight oil to keep his knowl- edge in advance of his position. Know more than your position demands. As your knowledge rises, your position will follow William H. Porter in Jan uary Success

HUMoR IN sIGNBoARDs.

"What's in a sign?" might be asked about many of the bulletins postea all over the city to advertise some business or call attention to some particular thing.
 The queer turn that is occasionally given to sign often serves to attract attention to it. However. it is doubt ful ii the proprietor of q Market street dry goods store was pleased with the change in his sign which oc- cured recently He had notice in front of his place which read, ..The Cheapest Store of the City" Some one put q theatrical poster over the first four letters of the cheapest ' so that the sign read. ..The Pest Store of the City" The merchant wondered why so few customers called that day.
 It must have been with feelings other than those of flattery that the pastor of a church i'll Roseville saw g notice he put out reading. ..The pastor will preach here. this even ing" changed by some wag to "The pastor will screach here, this eyen- ing.''
 It was only mistake in spelling which made the owner of chair re- pairing shop appear to be doing a preserving business. for he had a mo- tice which announced Chairs Canned Here
 Some stores have hung in the front windows signs made of movable letters set in | frame. A cigar dealer. by name Vera P. Orr, left it to his boy to arrange the letters one day. The boy got twisted on the al- phabet. and when half the day passed and no sales had been made the pro- prietor thought of looking at the sign. He expected to find on it the name and announcement that cigars were sold there, but instead this was what con fronted him: Vera Poor Cigars Sold Here
 On Bridge street a livery dealer hung out q sign notifying the public that there would be q fine sale of horses but q boy with stick dipped in some tar changed the .'n'' to an TT so that the sign read Fire Sale of Horses
 The proprietor wondered what some of his customers meant by asking him if the horses were badly burned until he saw the sign.
 Hanging out in front of q hardware store on one of the coldest mornings recently was a notice stating that there were lawn mowers and refrig- orators for sale inside.-Newark News.

A HUNGRY PYTHON.

Again has Roscoe, the large python snake in the menagerie in Central
 Park, given away to his recently devel- oped appetite for rasping food. Yes- terday he swallowed alive Matthew, an
 inoffensive iguana, which had been quratered in the snake cage. Though
 the keepers made desparate efforts to recover Matthew they were unsuccess- ful, and last night curiosity over how Roscoe was enjoying his meal kept a crowd around his apartments.
 When, several weeks ago, the python absorbed an alligator, which also was
 an occupant of the snake cage, some people thought that his digestion would
 be impaired by his gastronomic feat. For q time his conduct. too, confirmed the belief. Coiled about q post in the cage, he would remain for hours, and then suddenly become restless, as if he
 had something on his conscience. He lost interest in snake society, hissing
 angrily when any of his companions
 approached him. At all times he had a decidedly interpretive look. Dur ing this period he refrained from all food
 Nearly a week ago q keeper studying Roscoe was struck with the idea that
 he had fastened meditatiye eye on little Matthew. He voiced his fears and was laughed at. ..Alligators, per haps,'' they scoffed, mails, hose, wire
 or even other snakes might be i'll dan- ger' they said, but even Roscoe would not attempt an igauna." That horn on the lizards tail and the prick ly spikes extending to his tail they pointed out. were natural discourage
 ments to any snake who might have I fancy for him as an article of diet in the natural The keeper thus laughed
 1t was unconyinced and kept close watch.
 Matthew was reported absent at
 roll call yesterday, and an investiga-
 ton showed that a section of Roscoe $ body presented an admirable bas-fe- lief of the missing reptile, horns, spines and everything. Snyder a1ld Cook, keepers, at once entered the snake cage. and, while one held Bos-
 coe's tail, the other seized the python by the throat and tried to compel him | to disgorge. This was the same
 method tried when he swallowed the 1 alligator. Squirming and wrigglng. 1 Roscoe made the task of the two men so dangerous that they gave it up, and 1 the snake, again crawling to his perch on the post, closed his eyes and went 1 to sleep.
 They are watching the snake cage l again now. MT Smith, the director of the menagerie, will, it is said. try Bos- COG with a porcupine if he comes | through his present crisis all right.

BARK BURNED AT SEA.
Entire Crew Thought to Have Per-
ishcd in the Flames.

New York, Jan. ga special 10 the
Journal and Advertiser from Mobile,
Ala, says:
The British steamship Governor
Blake, which has arrived here from
Grand Cayman, brought news OF the
destruction OF a bark by fire at sea.
Presumably the entire crew persisted on
the vessel which Is supposed 10 have
been the Mary from New York.
Seamen could be seen cllnging 90 the
rigging, but the vessel was enveloped In
flames and rescue was impossible.
Capt. James Hunter OF the Governor
Blake says he sighted the burning ves-
sci one hundred miles from Mobile bar.
1t was just at dark and but for the high
sea prevailing at the time the Blake's
crew would have gone TO the rescue.
When we sighted the bark" said
Capt Hunter, "she seemed 10 be a mass
Of flames. We were riding head-on be-
fore the storm and were In imminent
danger ourselves. We made several
attempts TO go 20 the rescue. but the
wind was so high ana the sea so heavy
that we were compelled 20 abandon all
efforts 20 rescue and give our attention
TO saving ourselves.
I'VE saw members Of the crew OF the
unfortunate bark up I'm the rigging
making signals 20 us and while we
were in sight two men jumped from the
yard arms into the sea We judged that
nothing could save the vessel, as she
seemed TO be atire all over"
