Well. the lady didn't like dressing in

much she could do till we struck al.

New Workers will stop and look at any

An incident of this sort Is related by
one of the older bankers. When Rufus
Hatch was in his prime there was a
little restaurant down town where the
men of finance took luncheon. Hatch
was in a hurry. There seemed to be
no chance. So he said to the man in
charge. loud enough to be heard all
over the small room: Terrible ac-
cident down at the Battery"
"What?" asked the manager.
"Full-rlgged ship has just gone down
in the channel, with lot OF people on
boarC."
There was an immediate rush for
the door. Tables were deserted, and
the men who were eating ran pell-mell
down Broadway. Hatch sat down and
ate a quiet luncheon. Then he paid
his check and went out. The street
was full of people running toward the
Battery.
What's the matter?' asked Hatch
"Ship gone down with lot of peop,e
on board!" gasped the runner.
"Gracious!" shouted Hatch. "Is
that SO? must see that" and he,
too, ran down the street, hoaxed by his
