The personal check of Secretary
Shaw, of the Treasury was refused at
the Auditorium yesterday by young
woman cashier, says Chicago dis
patch to the New York World.
But I am Leslie M. Shaw
why, l had a man tell me only last
week that he was King Edward"
Poor fellow he must have been in
sane. I am Mr. Shaw-Mr. Shaw, of
Iowa; one time Governor, now Seere-
tary of the United States Treasury"
Fellow IN the other day said he
founded the Bank of England
You see, l have only eighteen min
utes to catch my train 80.

GUS"
But look at all these letters, my
good woman. See I have everything to
prove that l am who 1 claim to be-"
Let's see, that check is for $685..
That would do away with a few days
at least. of my salary. I'm mighty
sorry, Mr.. Shaw, if that is your name,
but I don't know it to be. You see the
point?'
The Secretary hustled around until
he found a man who identified him,
and then his check was cashed.

Bishop Potter is an enthusiastic golf
player, says the Woman's Home Com
panion. Some time ago he was on the
links at Saranac. accompanied by a
caddie who was himself a golfer of ac-
knowledged skill. The Bishop made
ready for a mighty drive, and with one
tremendous swing he topped the ball.
OF course he was deprived of the con-
ISOLATION which in such cases serves to
soothe the temper of the layman. All
he said was, Ssh shksh-sh-sh!"
1t was his way of relieving his feel
ings Then he tried again. This time
he scOoped up some cubic feet of sod,
and once more the sibilant but inof-
fensive and ineffective protest escaped
his lips. For the third time the Bish-
op teed his ball; for the third time his
driver missed the mark, and for the
third time he unburdened his oppress-
ed soul as above. The caddie could
stand it no longer.
Hang it, man." he exclaimed, "sh-
sh-sh-sh-sh won't send that ball where
you want it to go!"

Unrcmitting Kindness.

Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
was talking one day to an actor about
another actor who had got an engage

"A fine fellow, he is" said Mr.. Mel

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Mobile (Ala) Register (Dem.)
says: Mr. Bryan's politics is senti-
mental, not practical; it is the poll
tics of a. religious enthusiast and not
of a man who can see clearly and
guide wisely in a business concerning
the welfare of a great, busy, progress
sive and determined people"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: THE political depravity of
Philadelphia extends now to the point
where public school teachers have to
contribute to party funds in order to
secure or retain their positions. One
of the teachers. a man with a family,
admits that his surrender to the
specimen is not heroic, but pleads that
it is bread and butter"
The Chicago Chronicle NOem.) says:
1.-The newest Iowa idea is that govern
ment ownership of railroads would
provide an ample amount of bonds for
an adequate volume of currency. So it
would, even if the government should
annihilate all the stock and ruin the
holders, and pay only the amount of
the railroad bonds. AS that amount
is about $4,000, 100000. it ought to sup
ply a basis for enough currency to
meet the wants of the most wild-eyed
Populist for while, at any rate
The Boston Globe Qnd) says: I'M
migration reached its lowest ebb in
1897 and 1898. Since then a regular
tidal wave has been sweeping this
way. The immigration from 1850 to
1854 was 1917 ,533, and added nearly 8
per cent. to our population. Immigra-
ton finds it's chief stimulus in good
news abroad of American prosperity.
Certainly that was never greater than
now, and great as is the influx the
West and South are suffering for
want of labor. one is astounded at the
prospective future of the country"

Difference in Prayers.

Little Alice always said her pray
ers regularly before going to bed. says
the New York Tribune. One night,
however, as she rested her head on
the pillow, she remarked, in a ques-
tioning way:
Mamma, my prayers are so much
longer than the one nurse says in the
morning. Can't 1 say hers when I'm
tired?"
Does the nurse pray in the morn
ing?" asked the mother, with a puz-
zled look
Yes" said Alice sweetly. "She says,
Lord, have I got to get up?'"

In all parts of the country that part
of the Presidents Chicago speech in
which he said that government Off
GERS and public men should refrain
from clustering and boasting" and
from insulting foreign powers, was
taken as a rebuke to Admiral Dewey
for his interview respecting the Ger
man navy. 1t is explained, however
that the speech was prepared ten
days before the Dewey interview APP
peared in the newspapers, and could
not therefore have been intended as
an admonition to the Admiral. Never
theless the application was almost
self-made.

Some of the friends of Russell Sage
are a little anxious about him. The
reason for the anxiety is the an
nOuncement by Uncle RUSSELL that
he has decided to abandon the business
OF dealing in puts and calls" Some
years ago this was a favorite method
of gambling in stocks, and many
houses did a large business in it. But
gradually the system has fallen into
disfavOr. Mr.. Sage is one Of the last
to give it up. He has made millions
Of dollars out of it. One of his last
big killings is said to have been
made just prior to the breaking out of
the Spanish-American War when a
number of London spectators made
heavy sales of calls" on American
securities in the expectation that they
would be greatly depressed. Uncle
RUSSELL took them up, and the Brit
ishers lost heavily.

of not less than 10000 square miles.
1t is argued that unusual solar energy

Some of the remedies used by our
ancestors ought to have been sufficient
to scare away any disease without
their application. Here are a few of
them: "A halter wherewith any one
has been hanged, if tied about the
head, will cure headache. Moss grow
ing upon a human skull, if dried and
powdered and taken as snuff, us no
less efficaciOus." DIR. Samuel Turner,
who wrote on diseases of the skim no.
tees prevalent charm among old
women for the shingles; the blood of
a black cat, taken from its tail, and
smeared on the part affected. The
chips of a gallows tied on a string and
worn around the neck are said to have
cured ague. Spiders, as may readily
be supposed, were in great repute as
remedies. Burton, the writer of the
Anatomy of Melancholy, was at first
dubious as to the efficacy of the spider
as a remedy though he states that he
had seen it used by his mother, whom
he knew to have excellent skill in
chirurgery, sore eyes and aches; till at
length" says he, ram bling amongst
authors, as l often do, found this very
medicine in Dioscorides, approved by
Matthiolas, and repeated by Aldrovan-
dus. l began then to have a better
opinion of it, For stopping hem
orrhages all sorts of things were used.
John Bell says that for this purpose
they tied live toads behind the ears,
or under the armpits. or to the soles
Of their feet, or held them in the hand
till they grew warm. Michael Mer-
catus says that this effect of toads
is a truth, which any person willing to
take the trouble may satisfy himself
Of by very simple experiment; for
if you hang the toad around a cocks
neck for a day or so, you may then
cut off his head and the neck will not
bleed a single drop" The malade inn
agfnaire of those days pursued his hob
by under difficulties.
