An Odd Sermon.

1t seems doubtful if there is anything
more crooked than the following title
of pamphlet published in 1908: "The
Deformity OF Sin Cured; a Sermon
Preached at ST. Michael's, Crooked
Lane, Before the Prince Of Orange, by
the Rev. J. Crookshanks." The pam
phlet was sold by Matthew Denton at
the Crooked Billet near Cripple gate.
The words of the text are, EVERY
crooked path shall be made straight"
and the prince before whom it was
read was deformed.

BOGUS MONEY STOPS A RUN
Cashiers Scheme That Saved Bank
 From Going Under.

CaSntoF oCneme mat SaSeu oahk
 From Going Under.
 Speaking of runs on banks" said the veteran story teller, according to the New Orleans Times Democrat, reminds me of story I once heard of bank that was on the verge of going through when clever scheme of the cashier saved 1t from utter ruin. And the best of the whole thing was that in saving the bank the cashier floated big issue of counter felt money and the deception was never found out. Here is how the thing oc- curred:
 "Some of the bank directors and some of the officers had been dabbling in stocks. The crash came and when it did some of the banks officials got their fingers jammed. It looked to be all up with the bank. The run began and it seemed as if the old bank would have to close its doors forever. It happened that the cashier had brother who was a secret service man. This brother had led ill raid on a counterfeiters den several days before and had secured sev- eral thousand dollars worth of paper money, which represented some of the most beautiful counterfeits ever seen in that territory. He had placed ill the bank box used by himself and brother this money, which he was holding as evidence.
 The cashier thought of this and brought it into play. Figuring that all the depositors Who had large sums of institution after the rush was over, he paid all the claims of the big depositors with this class of money, keeping rec ord of those to whom counterfeit money was given. The bills were of large de- nomination. No one tried to change any of them. This money saved the day and the run on the bank ceased when i5 was seen that all deposltOrs were being paid.
 "When it wuz all over the cashier went up to the men to whom he had paid the counterfeit money and succeed ed in getting them to again become de- positors. In that way he succeeded ill getting possession of all the issue and within a week had restored every one of the big counterfeit bills to its place in his and his brothers bank box. Only the president, vice-president and cashier of the bank ever learned of the manner in which the institution was saved. "

HERE'S A GOOD IDEA
Organizations of Pupils Improvement
 Clubs Suggested.

Organizations of Pupils Improvement
 Clubs Suggested.
 Pupils of the Danbury schools of the city and town took home to their parents recently letters handed them by their teachers suggesting that they enroll themselves as members of an organiza- ation of school pupils designed to pro- mote interest in matters of public clean hness and civic pride. The letter is as follows:
 r II should like to organize into club to be known as the City Improvement club, as many of the boys and girls be- low the High School and above begin ners' grade as might care to join. The object would be to keep the schoolrooms, schoolhouses; schoolhouse grounds, and the streets in the immediate vicinity clean through volunteer service at re- cess, to prevent suck abuse of the side walks as splitting, scattering papers and throwing peel upon it, to stop chalking and marking upon fences, the deface- ment of buildings and other property, to restrict the dumping of refuse along the banks of the streams and in other con- spicuous places, and. finally, by setting the example, juvenile though it be, of an earnest effort to beautify and adorn .he city, and to influence others to do the same.
 "As an organ for the expression of opinion and medium for the publica- tion of the best compositions in all grades, the club contemplates a paper to be called The Outlook This will appear two or three times year prob bably, beginning with an Arbor Day number.
 "The membership fee for one year is a nickel. This covers the cost of but ton which members may wear if they choose. If willing that ne child bring ing you this letter should join the club, please send that amount of money to his tor her) teacher" This plan could be adopted with good results (omitting the paper in the smaller schools) ill almost any part of the country.
