Runs on banks. as all the world
knows, are often stopped or restricted
in the oldest ways. \ rich bank knew
that run was to set in on certain
Monday morning, for it had been rob
bed of some postage stamps on Satur-
day night and the robbery had been
exaggerated in the newspaper reports,
and if this run was not kept within
reasonable limits the bank would have
to close its doors 1t had plenty of
money, but not plenty Of cash 1t
needed twenty-four hours time. Be
fore sunrise on Monday morning Il man
put fresh coat of paint on the front
doors of the bank, on the wall panels
and on the counters. The result was
that people who made the run on Mon
day made rather walk of it.A They
wanted their money, but they rushed
no one On the contrary, they came on
with caution and deliberation. So
careful were they lest they get paint
on their clothes that it took longer to
pay off one of them than it would have
taken ordinarily to pay five This is
one of many odd tricks whereby, in
run, a bank has saved itself from
wreck.

Shortly before his death Keats left
strict injumctons that his headstone
should bear these words:
Here lies one whose name was writ in
water
For nearly forty years a simple
gravestonc bearing these words mark
ed the spot where Keats lay-the grave
yard OF the English church in Rome
but In 1859 Joseph Severn, whose hand
Keats held when he died, wrote to Mr..
Dixie, father Of the present Sir Charles
Dixie, suggesting the following cpl
taph, which was subsequently adopted:
This grave contains the mortal remains of
John Keats,
a Young English Poet
who died at Rome Feb 90 1870, aged

His short life
was so cmbitterod by disbursement and
sickness that he desired these words
to mark his grave;

from the bishop an apology, and he
explained that beneath his brusque-

had discovered him.
Sometimes they hustled him around
pretty lively. and again they let him
rest and take on flesh. This was one OF
his resting spells, ana YET he was not
quite happy His funds were at a low
ebb, his partner was in Sing Sing on a
ten year sentence. and nothing in his
line seemed to turn up.
Mr.. Bradbury's speciality was crack

thing with roof on it-dwellug. store
bank or warehouse. He was also n
fair hand ut the confidence game and
had been known to rob half a dozen
guests Of hotel the same evening
Taken all in all. he was a good all
round man. AMI it wasn't his fault that
luck was against him. Even if his
money was low he was making big
bluff hy dressing well and ordering the
best the menu afforded. Mr.. Bradbury
was wondering how much the next de

one of the bell boys suddenly appeared

There were old bonds in the safe

the pictures on them, and there were
coal oil bonds worth 3 cents n pound
as paper rags. The elder Mr.. Bradbury
had invested in his time 1t was no
trouble at all for Miss Bessie to hunt
up thirty $1,000 bonds worth alto
gether 30 cents. and put them in the
envelope in place of those issued by
Uncle Samuel. The latter she carried
up to her room with her. and by and
by the house grew quiet. 1t was then
that Mr.. Felix Bradbury approached to
reap the ripening grain. He had the
girls word that the side door would
be left unlocked. He found it so. He
entered noiselesSly. turned on his dark
lantern and proceeded to business.
What more fitting place in a house
for bonds than the library. Only now

is laid up and swearing at a great rate.
The safe has got out of killer and can't

The Venus de Milo which has been
in the Louvre for many years is, as all
the world knows, n~imperfect piece
of sculpture, though it is the greatest
treasure of its kind the world has ever
seen. A great reward would be given
the man who could find the missing
parts. About twenty-eight years ago
the most important of them-the right
arm-came to light In London and was
proved by experts to be genuine. The
owner, however, refused to part with
it and concealed it for fear it would
be stolen. Unfortunately he died with
out revealing it's hiding place, SO 1t is
as much lost as ever, says the New

A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple in 1879
and brought to Europe has miraculous

whole history Of the PharOahs and it
could easily be sold for 100000. In
