He was ready for an Absolute Change.
He wanted to get out where there was
nothing happening and put his Feet up
on something and sit there all Day
stepped in a negotiating Silence. Pinks-
burg seemed to fill the Bill. AS he re-
membered it, the Town had more ST.
lence to the Square Inch than any
thing outside of a Quaker Meeting.
He was tired of the hot, binding AS
phalt. the endless rumbling of Cabs.
the sullen roar of Elevated Trains, the
clarion Whoop of the Newsboy selling
the fake Extra, the garish Display on
the Bill Boards and the endless Parade
Of Soppy individuals in Noisy Shirts
and $195 Panamas.
He knew that Pinksburg would be
the other Extreme. During the Dog
Days the Main Street of Pinksburg is a
Study in Still Life. The deathly Still
ness is undisturbed save by the crack
of the Wind Pump back of Peters Liv-
cry and Feed Stable or the occasional
Gasp of the Sody Fountain in Nell
waine's One-Price Drug Store. Old Mr..
Peavey, the Furniture Man, sits under
an Awning in front of his Place of Bus
mess, which is distinguished by yell
low Plush and Hot Smell of Varnish.
Mr.. Peavey has allowed his Galluses
to ease down over his Arms. He Is
reading an Editorial in the Paper that
he has been taking ever since the Days
of Horace Greeley. 1t says in the Ed
itorial that the American People are
travelling at rapid a Gait and under
too much Nervous Tension. 1t ad-
vises them to take more Rest. Mr..
Peavey agrees with the Editorial. He
has been Resting since 1870.
Now and then a stoop-shouldered
Person is seen to move slowly through
the Heat Waves. He is on on his way

O'Clock he would have his Luncheon,
consisting of a Lettuce Sandwich and
a Tumbler of Iced Tea. Then in the
Evening he would Dine heartily on
Consomme and Sweetbread.
When he sprang the Canary Bird
Appetite on his husky Cousins they
gave him the Hoopteree and told him
to eat something that would stick to
his Ribs. They were good Feeders
themselves and they told Al that If he
didn't keep up with them, they would
feel Insulted. So for Breakfast he had
Steak, Ham and Eggs, Whortleberry
Pie. Fried Potatoes and Waffies. AT
Noon he would be urged to go against
the acknowledged Chicken, the Roast
ing Ears, Wax Beans, Preserves and
four kinds of Cake. Along in the mid
die of the Afternoon, Cousin Dave
would cut a Melon so that Al could
stay his Stomach until supper Time.
In the Evening they would have a lit
tie Pickup of Hot Biscuit, Liver and
Bacon and Short-Cake.
In As hous he was Foundered, but he
had to keep on Eating. He knew that
the Family had a Contempt for any
one who Picked at the Vittles and Nib

the distinguished soldier of the Con-

man in the case is Mr.. Orton Bishop

Entertainment came with a Party.
When a Man escapes from the Tur-
MOL of the Metropolis and wants alb
solute Repose, nothing helps so much
as a Party given especially in his
Honor, not.
Aunt Hester wanted to prove to him
that they had plenty of Local Talent
in Pinksburg. So she packed the Par
lor, and Felicia Fulgrave, who had
taken Lessons in ST Louis, fought the
Piano to a Finish. The Piece she play
ed was called THE Battle of Prague"
and those who never before realized
the Horrors of War had it brought
right home to them when they heard
Fetish try to break the Instrument.
After that the Prescription Clerk in
McIlwaine's One-Price Drug Store
gave something by James Whitcomb
Riley. Everybody in Pinksburg said
he was as good as Riley. After he got
through Albert applauded sufficiently
to show that he was Appreciative, but
not enough to induce him to give an
other Selection.
Then there was the Girl who would
be on the Stage only her People were
opposed to 1t. She had played Leah
the Forsaken," for the Benefit of the
Republican Fife and Drum Corps. The
only way to keep her from Recitine
was to Chloroform her. She let down
her Back Hair and did Mad Scene
Albert felt himself going off his DIP

came Ice Cream and Cake.
Next day when he pulled out they
told him to let them know little soon

would be better fixed to give him a

He had all sorts of building blocks,
And Battledores and Shuttlecocks;
He had a hundred picture books,
And fishing lines and rods and hooks,
And rolling hoops and spinning tops,

And even tiny railroad tracks;
And wagons, kites and jumping Jacks

And marbles. and a big jack-knife;

BANKERS TELL BAD" MNEY BOY INSTINCT.

7. It seems wonderful to the casual ob- server that cashiers, bank tellers and others who handle large amounts of paper money are able at glance to de- tect a bad note. Exactly what 1t Is that does expose the counterfeit the best ex- perts find 1t difficult to tell. They say : they know 1t instnctiveiy. They judge not only by the looks of a note, but by the feel of it.
 It is obvious that a counterfeit note must be widely circulated to make it profitable. No sooner does a counterfeit appear than its description is widely pub lished. Those who are likely to suffer by taking counterfeit notes make 1t their business to be on the lookout for new tones, which are soon distinguishable by some easily discovered mark.
 A teller knows of just what denomina- tions are the counterfeits, and just where to look for the tell tale marks. He de- tects the spurious notes as easily as the reader does misspelled word. It is no particular effort. It is habit.
 The principle reason why commercials are 90 easily detected is because in some feature they are almost uniformly of in- lferior quality. This is, indeed. the main aprotection, of the public. Genuine notes hre engraved and printed almost regard

Capetowp Cor. New York World.
 This is a picture of one of "Phe Forty Thieves" as the little band of troopers fighting for England in the Transvaal and known as Loxton's Horse, is aptly called by friend and foe. Loxton's aggregation Is probably the most peculiar element of the army in South Africa. Englands War Of fee furnishes the equipment of the troopers, which includes two horses, full uniform, rife and ammunition, but that is all.
 No one, officer or man, in Loxton's Horse draws a cent of pay from the British war funds. In lieu of pay the corps gets 75 per cent of the loot, and if what was seen in June in Newcastle was any criterion, it is a very we'll paid arm of the service.
 There was then a division of the proceeds of their last earnings for three months, and each mans share amounted to little more than $4,500. The corps gave ball in the town hall to provide amusement for itself and it's friends. and the 100 men then com

 For a long time the people of London were troubled to know what they would do when two rival systems were In oper- ation in the same territory. But the post office authorities have agreed to make connections between the National Com pany's subscribers and it's own. Hence it will not be necessary for business man In the British metropolis to put in wires connecting with both, and thus incur extra expense. On the other hand, the old company makes some concessions in it's rates. putting them on the same level with the government.
 Just what this new service will cost is not altogether clear, although the of- ficial schedule is now made public. As in America, distinction will be made be- tween subscribers who have unlimited service, and can use either wires as often as they like and those whose bills are based on the number of times they call up some one lse. For the first kind of service man will ostensbly pay SS5 GID year for a single wire. But if he has several instruments or branch lines, they will cost him only SEQ (f1D apiece.

It is practically impossible for counterfeiters to do as well. They must work in secret and at a disadvantage and of necessity cannot have the expe- rience to produce such perfect work.

 Of late years there has been a great deal or care taken to get paper man ufactured expressly for the notes issued py the government. The national bank notes are also issued by the government, so that the sources of supply for exactly that Kind Of paper are controlled.
