HAD TO BE IDENTIFIED.
Old G'n'l-man Was Over. Particular and
Not Very Grateful

Frank Mckee had drawn some cur
fcncy from the box Office Of the Mad
icon Square thcater to pay extra ex-
penses on a trip to New England the
other afternoon. lie was standing in
'front.' Of the thoaier waiting for car.

speciable-looking man came up to
him and said:
young man, can YOU tell me where
] might get n $500 bill changed at
this time OF day."
Mckee looked the old gentleman
over, and, being satisfied with the re-
suit, said he thought he could change
1t for him. The old man produced
the $500 bill, and Mckee counted out
$500 in $50, $50 and ton-dollar bills.
and handed them to the owner Of the
$500. The latter, however, without
taking the money, said:
Pardon me. but is there anyone
hereabout who will vouch for you"
McKee'S first impulse was to be-
come offended, but a second look dis
closed 30 much uniformed gentility
about the man that Mckee referred
him to the box Office, where the man
in charge gave plain evidence Of his
bewilderment that anyone should ask
for a voucher for the 'boss." But he
vouched for him, and the old man
came out TO Mckee, got the change.
and walked away without so much as
a"thank you."-N. Y. Times.

An extraordinary story was recent.
~ circulated TO the effect that Mo.

itself has now been found, and its his.
tory. which il an astounding one, ha,
been traced and authenticated.
Mozart's skull, declares the 81

1t was alleged to have been stolen. II
has now been placed in the llyril or.

Some time afterwards Rothmayer

stole the skull. lie kept it a. a "a.
cred relic until his death, when il be.
came the property Of one Iadschopf

Both these men maintained the
greatest secrecy about their ghastlI
treasure. Joseph lIyrtl, brother OF
the celebrated anthropologist. BE-.
came the neat owner Of the skGll.
Dyril was a musician of rcnown aud
an ardent admirer Of Mozart, and
l'adschopf gave him the skull as a
mark Of esteem, one Of the most *.

HAS A GREAT MEMORY.
Presidents Secretary Developed Faculty
20 a Romarkabis Extent

During the a years that George
Bruce Coriclyou served the late Prcsi.
dent Mckinley. first as assistant pri-
waite secretary, he developed a remark
able trait Of memory.
As assistant secretary it was part
OF Mr.. Cortolyou's duty when the
president was travelling to sec the re-
poriers from the various newspapers
and to furnish them the particulars Of
the chief executives plans and move.
ments. Hundreds Of reporters
throughout the country thus became
personally acquainted with Mr.. Cor.
telyou, who not only remembered
their faces in connection with the
newspapers which they represented,
but IN the great majority Of eases re.
membered the personal names Of the
inieryicwers themselves.
One day, when a surprised individu.
al mentioned the fact TO Mr.. Cortel.
you llat ne must be the 0wnerofa re-
markable memory, he said:
"oh, don't know. II seems to me
one might as well do it right as 9th.
erwiso.'
Which seemed 10 indi0to that the
late PRESIDENT secretary does not
realize that he has the remarkable
memory which he really has.-N. Y.
