1T STAGGERED THEM.
Employees In Department Store
Were Dared by a 81 900 Bill.

Employees In IN Department Store
Were Dared by q $1,000 Bill.
There was one division of one Of the
largest department stores along Sixth
avenue that suspended business for
hslf an hour one day last week. A
woman bought some handkerchiefs
and pair OF towels. The clerk footed
her bill. 10 cents. and the woman laid
paper bill on the counter.
The clerk, girl, looked at it hastily.
1t read $1,000. She had never seen a
thousand dollar bill before in her life,
and the amaZement it caused made her
speechless. With her mouth open in
wonder she made out the check, show.
ing that 40 cents was to be taken out
OF $1,000. The girl who acts as cashier
fell back in her chair when she saw the
bill. She didn't have change for it,
and after gazing at 1t in wondering ad-
miration for moment she rushed out
to find the manager. He asked for the
customer who had offered il, and the
girl led the way to where the woman
was waiting. The clerk had recovered
from her surprise enough TO point out
the customer
The manager said, MADAM, what
did you buy?"
The woman named over the small
articles.
What did you give the clerk?"
Il gave her a dollar bill"
NO; you gave her this, and it is
worthless" the manager said sternly.
Persplration stood out on the wom-
ans face as she looked in wonder at
the bill. She fshed dollar out of a
handbag she carried and paid. BY that
time she had figured out an explana-
tion- She has a son attending a busi-
ness college, where they have mock
transactions in business and paper to
look as much like money as the coun-
terfeiting laws Of the country will per.
init are used. The clerks had been so
stunned by the big figures that they
did not see that 1t was not money at
all, but fake bill.-New York Herald.

The Reading Cure

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as Il benefit to persons af-
fected with any chest complaint The

cases of lung trouble it is important
for the sufferer to indulge In exercise

Reading aloud can be practiced by
all and besides being curative act
can be a pleasure and profit to both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
it is recommended that an overdose Of
medicine be avoided, that the reading
be deliberate without being allowed
to drag, that the enunciatlon be clear,
the body be held In an easy, unstrain-
ed upright position, so that the chest
will have free play, and that the
breathing be natural and as deep as
possible without undue effort

Who hears the magic word,
For Love that IS with roses crowned

President McKlnlex,s obseauIes.

Private funeral services over the body
of President Mckinley were held at the
Milburn house In Buffalo Sunday morning.
They consisted simply OF singing, the
reading of the Scripture and a prayer
Following the service the body was taken
under military escort to the city hall,
where 1t lay in state until midnight. 1t is
estimated that 5000 to $1,000 people view
ed the body.
The body of President Mckinley was
taken from Buffalo to Washington Mon
day. Throngs of people were assembled
along the entire distance. and the demon
stration of popular sorrow is said to have
been the most remarkable since the death
and funeral OF President Lincoln. The
body lay in the east room of the White
house Monday night
The body of President Mckinley was
borne from the White House to the capt.
toll Tuesday. and state funeral services
were held in the rotunda. The services
consisted of prayer, the singing of Mr.
McKinley's favorite hymns. a sermon by
Bishop Andrews. of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. and the benediction. They
were attended by President Roosevelt
members of the Cabinet and Congress,
the diplomatic corps. the judiciary.
army and navy officers, and many well
known people from all parts of the coun-
try. Mrs Mckinley was not able to be
present
After the funeral services the body OF
President Mckinley lay in state and was
viewed by a vast multitude of people. So
great was the crush for admission that
many women and children were badly in
jured, and a frightful catastrophe was
narrowly averted At 7.30 O'Clock the
body was removed from the capitol and
taken to the funeral train. which started
at $50 o'clock for Canton.
The last rites were observed yesterday
in Canton. There were over $4,000 specta-
tors. the largest number ever seen in
Canton. Two trains brought government
officials and members of the Senate and
House of Representatives. The casket
containing the Presidents body laid in
state at the court house Wednesday, but
it was not opened after being taken to
the Mckinley home. The final services
were held in the Methodist church of
which the President was a COMMUNICATE
and trustee. The imposing procession
included Grand Army posts. all of the Ma
tional Guard of Ohio, fraternal, social
and civil organizations. The collection
of flowers, sent by direction of monarchs
rulers, governors, officials and men dis
tinSuished in every walk of life all over
the world, was probably the finest ever
seen in this country,
