Women's Names on Checks.

A cashier who has business dealings with many women says that it is in ter esting to read the history of the times i1 the checks which are presented to him. It does not require knowledge of the people to pick out the checks Of the older women from those of the younger. These older women, wives of million aires and multi millionaires. some of them, were all educated in the same school and in the times when plain. old-fashioned names were given to women. There is Mary Ann and Eu- phemia. Hannah Maria, Sarah Jane, Phoebe Ann, Rebecca, Martha Ann, and numerous others seldom to be found now outside old-fa shioned books. And the checks of the Phoebe Anns and Flu phemias it is possible to pick out at a glance from all the others without read- ing because of the writing. It is as old-fashioned as the names. The sig natures are written with fine pen, iii a delicate, fine hand, small letters, each standing out distinctly and all perfect ly legible. It is different with the checks of the daughters of the Mary James and Phoebe Anns. Their names cover most of the space on the lower edge of the checks--a big, bold, up-and- down hand, 50 sprawled that it is al most impossible to decipher, slashe d over the paper, though the names are short in themselves, Saras and Maries who represent another generation \, '.

The Old Garden.

I know of a habnted garden where tbs
oldtime flowers grow,
There are hollyhocks and lilies in long
and stately row;
There are lilac trees by the gateway, and
roses white and red
And the Southern woods spicy fragrance
follows the careless tread
A memory Mounted garden, out of life's
busy way,
Where the spell of vanished summers lin
gers the livelong day.
The hands that planted these flowers have
mOldered back to dust,
But their hearts are true and steadfast,
and they seem to hold in trust
The memories of the old time, and those
whom men forget.
Perhaps for the lilac and lily the dead
are living yet.
Those whom our eyes can see not may
tend them still-who knows
OF the strange, sweet secrets hidden in
the red heart Of the rose?
Does grandmother come to gather its
pinks and its pansies still
From the grave which kind hands made
her in the church yard on the hill?
Does she know when the lnacs blossom
that she painted long ago?
The question must go unanswered, but
fancy it may be so,
And so, from the dear old garden not
flower take away,
But leave them all to be gathered by the
hands that are dust today.
