STRANGE CHECKS.
The Odd Axsortmen Collected by
One Bank Clerk.

a torn linen collar. a piece of lath, Il
cuff and Il half dozen other odd OBJ
jects hun" above the bank clerks desk.
My collection Of queer checks" the
young man said. Each Of those things
is Il check. Each was duly honored.
| Each has Il story.
81 have been collecting queer checks
for three years. That piece Of lath
| started me. \ western bank hcnored
| the lath for $3.50. 1t was made out as
q check by the owner Of a sawmill, who
was out at the plant with his son. thir-
ty miles from any house. and totally
without paper, let alone Il check book.
The money was needed to pay off the
hands. The sawmiller wrote on the
lath just what a check correctly drawn
has OH it, and he sent his son in to the
bank to get the money and to explain.
The lath check was honored after some
discussion among the banks officers.
"The cuff check was drawn by an
actor who had become Slightly intoxi-
Gated, got into a fight and been arrest
ed. He was treated cavalierly in his
cell. They wouldn't give him any pa
per. and he bribed a boy to take the
check to a bank. The boy got tile
money. and with it the actor paid his
fine. Otherwise he'd have been Jailed
for ten days. Thus the cuff check may
be said to have saved a man from pris-
On.
"The check written on that linen col
lar won a bet of So. \ man bet Il wo-
man that Il check made on II collar
would be cashed. and Of course Ii. won
his bet.
"Your bank, if you carry Il good ac-
count. will honor the most frenky |
checks you can draw up. In such mon !
key business. though, it won't cncou1.-
age you."-Chicago Chronicle.

MARKS OF ILLNESS ON NAIL
How Accident and Great Mental Az
Suixh Are AlxO Indicated.

"Onc who makes Il close StiIO.;' O!
finger nails will find many curious
things about them to excite his Won.
der ANA interest" says IN expert on
such matters, but none more SO thIa
the stories OF physical condition told in
their growth.
You know that the nail Of a person
in good health grows at the rate Of
about onc-siXteenth of an inch each
wcek-Slightly more than many au
thorities b~elieve-but during illness or
after an accident or during times Of
mental depression this growth is not
only affected and retarded so far as
its length is concerned, but also rs re-
CARDS its thickness. The very slight
est illness will thus leave an indelible
mark on the nails which may be read
lily detected as the nail grows out. If
n has q sudden attack, such as acute
rheumatism, which sends the temper
allure bounding upward to 1O4 or 100
within the space Of two or three hours,
it will be found OH the nails, indicating
the difference in thickness Of growth
between the time when health was en-
1oyed and the thin growth Of the i'll pc
Rod.
IF the illness is one that comes grad
ually, like typhoid fever, for example.
instead Of a ridge a gentle incline
will appear on the nails. Should n
have an arm broken the thick ridge
can be seen only on the fingers Of the
one hand, but in all cases Of general
sickness the ridge or slope appears on
the fingers of both hands. When Il
has passed through a period Of extreme
excitement or mental depression. the
fact will be imprinted on the nails ell
Their with an abrupt edge or a gentle
slope, according to the acutencss Of
the mental influence.
"In no instance car the marks of i'll
ness, accident or mental condition be
clearly seen on the nail until after the
growth has carried the line beyond the
white or half moo portion of it, but a
week or two subsequent to any Of these
things the ridge or slope may be found
on the nails, usually readily visible to
the eyes but if not the mark may be
found by running the tip OF the finger
down any of the nails."--St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

NOT PART OF UNITED STATES.
Laws Of This Country Not Applicable
to Canal Zone,

Washington, Dec. 2S.-ln an opinion
rendered by Frank l.. Campbell, as
sistant attorney general for the int
rior department, it is held that the
laws of the United States are not APP
plicable to the Panama canal zone.
The canal zone is described in the
opinion as not being an organized
territory of the United States and
the assistant attorney general holds
that there is no provision in the treaty
with Panama or the laws Or regula-
tons making the laws of the United
States generally applicable.
The question at issue was whether
or not the patent or trade mark law
extended to the canal zone. This, it
is held, is not the case. the opinion

plication of the laws OF the United
States generally to the canal zone.

CURE had little to do with placing
