and universal good will to humanity.
After the meal and while my host, host
ess and myself were enjoying the moon
shine on the front veranda, the two
daughters and a brother came out and in
vited me to accompany them to a candy
pulling in the neighborhood.
l went, and to the last day Of my life
l will remember that occasion.
When we reached the place where the
candy-pulling was to be we were car
red into the kitchen, and in the fire
place. a large and spacious one. was sus-
pended a large ten-gallon wash pot full
of boiling molasses.

present as a newspaper man from At
lanta, and though / was regarded for
some time with timid reserve, l soon
won their respect and companionable con-
fidence by making myself freely one of
the company. All reserve was soon
thrown off and, like the rest l laid aside
my coat and entered enthusiastically into
all the sports proposed. We played the
old-fashioned kissing games, and no one
present entered into the sport more en-
Enthusiastically than l. The old folks would
allow no dancing, and we worried along
with "twistification' and tucker which,
truly, limbered the eager toes and re-
quired music from two fiddles, which
screached away industriously in the
hands of two darkies from the farm.
The candy was at last pronounced done
and it was taken up, and then the real
fun began. 1t had to be pulled" The
boys and girls paired off, and securing a
hank of cooked molasses we began the
operation of pulling"
In the eagerness for this part OF the pro-
gramme the candy had not been allowed
to get thoroughly done, and If you know
anything of such things you can realize
the mess we were in in short while.
The candy stuck to everything. Deter
mined not to be outdone by this I'M
lucky circumstance, some of the boys
and girls started a war, consisting in
part of the company sticking up the other
part with half-cooked candy. The battle
grew furious, and though it was not
pleasant to me, I had to join in or be
counted out and become the general tar
get for all, so I resolved to take my
share of the sport.
Every dress and suit on the place was
ruined and the girls went home that
night with their hair solid masses of mo-
lasses candy. That was the sweetest
party | ever saw and my best trousers
were ruined.
Everybody was at church next morn
ing at the little board church. on the
hill. and the smell of half-cooked mo-
lasses was very much in evidence.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The Melba car arrived from st. Louis
yesterday morning. and within few
minutes the singer was transported to
the heart of the Alton yards, about two
blocks south of Twelfth street.
The noise of the engines was so great
that it was feared for a time the diva's
three-legged piano would need tuning
before night The rehearsal was sched-
uled to take place in the drawing room
of madame's private car.
A few tra-la's found their way through
the car ventilators and settled upon the
ears of some horny-handed gentlemen
who wore blue overalls. They all knew
that Melba was in their midst, and when
the melodious peals reached them one of
the Alton workers said hearing the mu-
sic was just like stealing money.
'Just think" said the trick-wiper, $50
ciety folks are tearing their hair in an
effort to buy choice seats, while we are
down here getting the whole works for
nothing"
81 guess that's what you call classical
music" said a switchman, as several
bars of melody crashed through the side
of the coach and went scattering through
yards.
TOO classical for me- said another
switchman; but styles everything now
adays."
Ever hear grand opera?' asked a
coach-wiper.
Heard Emmy Abbit once" said the
first switchman. Gave SO cents to sit in
the gallery. Ten beers and the Good
Old Summer Time for me hereafter.
Unmindful of the criticisms that were
being offered on the outside, Nine
Melba and Miss Parkinson rehearsed.
The yardmen in the Alton, despite the
fact that their ears have not been trained
to music of the grand opera scale. en-
joyed the unexpected song treat on the
ground that a man can afford to enjoy
anything he can get for nothing. There
were some pessimists in the crowd, how
ever, who couldn't reconcile themselves
to the high notes.
IT heard Abbott once myself" said a
man who knocks the clinker out of the
locomotive fire-boxes, but did you ever
hear May Irwin?''

wiper. She's got all these other song

Runs on Savings Banks.

Very seldom does a year pass in New
York City that there is not one or more
runs on some of the smaller savings
banks that have for their depositors res
idents of the lower East side. How these
runs are started is frequently a mystery.
and 1t is not often that they last long
or destroy the bank, for bankers of the
class in question know the temperament
of their depositors thoroughly and pre-
pare for emergencies at this time OF the
year. No class of people are so easily
panic-stricken in a financial sense as the
East siders, whose savings are usually
very small and are primarily kept in
bank for the purpose of accommodating an
amount sufficient to bring less fortunate
relations on the other side to this coun-
try
There is a suspicious feature known
about some of these runs on savings
banks of this type. The runs are usually
started either late in December or after
the tenth of January. The dates are
significant; some savings banks have a
rule by which no interest is paid on de-
posits that are kept untouched for less
than twelve months and the interest pc
rlod in vast majority of cases termi-
mates at the end of December. con-
| cession is made by which all deposits
made up to the tenth of January will
draw interest as If they had been de-
1 ppSlttu vi the hist udy VI li4S year, anu
many depositors will take the risk of
holding out their deposits until as near
this date as possible. but once depos-
tied money drawn out will not draw in
| terest even If kept out for only a day.
Some of the runs have undoubtedly been
| started in the interests of the banks
which were thereby relieved of the ne
cessity of paying accrued interest, and
| the panic once started could be stopped
! by an elaborate display of specie and
slow payment OF depositors The method
| is INSCRIPTIONS but it has been used
more than once. and the depositor in his
| terror was the only sufferer. OF course
no institution of any standing or proper
| ly managed would resort to this means
| of avoiding interest but many of the
| banks are small and are practically pri-
waite institutions operated on a suspic-
| ious system. but clinging close enough tc
| the law to avoid the interference of the
| banking department

grip down on the cable and away the
car would dash around the curve, sweep
Ing everything living aside regardless
of results. When the electric cars took
the places of the cable cars the managers
of the road said the dangers of the curve
would disappear, but they were, on the
other hand, increased. The electric
cars could not stop any more than the
cable oars without tying up the road.
or late inspectors and guards have been
kept on the curve constantly and the
number of accidents during the last year
has been comparatively small. Despite
every precaution taken by the railroad
officials, collisions with teams could not
be avoided and it was decided a few
days ago to apply the trait, regulations
which have been introduced at Madison
and Herald squares and at Columbus
Circle. The result so far has been quite
favorable and In time when the drivers
know that they cannot use Broadway be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets
the police do not anticipate any trou-
Bile or complaint.

Dead Mans Curve Redeemed.

Dead Mans Curve" Broadway and
Fourteenth street. for many years New
Yorks most dangerous spot, has sud-
denly been transformed into an ideal
crossing. There is nothing to look out
for but electric cars, and even they are
rounding the curve at greatly reduced
speed. Vehicles are not allowed to go
either up or down Broadway between
Thirteenth street and Fourteenth street
Those bound up town on Broadway must
turn east on Thirteenth street and go up
Fourth avenue. When they get to Four
tenth street they may turn west again
and continue along the nortf~rn side
of Fourteenth street. Vehicles going
down Broadway are not allowed to turn
east and go around Dead Mans
Curve" as of old, but must continue
down University place to Thirteenth
street, where they may turn If necessary
and continue down Broadway. Half a
dozen mounted police from the traffic
bureau have been stationed near the
curve to see that drivers obey the new
rules. and the result Is that Broadway
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets and Fourteenth street between
Fourth avenue and University place. Is
used exclusively by street cars and Pc
destrians.
Dead Mans Curve" has for years
been dreaded by thousands of people
who had to cross Broadway at that place
daily. And its reputation has not been
maintained without good foundation
Probably more people have been MANNED
and killed there than upon any street
crossing In the city. Upon several oc-
casions two people were killed by cars
rounding the curve. Hardly day
passed but some woman or child was
knocked down and injured A hearse
was struck one afternoon whhc going
east on Fourteenth street carrying a
corpse for burial in Long Island. The
driver was knocked one way and the
corpse another. When the Broadway
cars ran by cable the conductor used to
yell out upon nearing the place. Hold
fast! and then the motorman would
