NOW Mr.. BAXTER REFORMED.
In the Future He Will Think More
About Appearances.

One reason why Mr.. Baxter never
likes to go out evenings is because he
seldom can find room enough in the
street cars to make himself comfort

Since last Thursday night, however,
Baxter has promised to think less OF
his material sensibilities. That even
ing the BaXters went to the theater.
Going home Baxter, as usual, refused
to sit by his wife on the ground that
he would be unduly crowded. There
was rift in the row of humanity fur
ther along the line, and he went down
and filled in there. He sat beside a fat
man, who had previously travelled a
short distance over the alcoholic route

JUST WANTED TO SEE MONEY.
Then italian Woman Was Satisfied II
Was All Right.

A savings bank is never a very
cheerful place. To one smiling young
matron putting aside the proverbial
nest egg," or, still more, smiling
young mothers depositing in trust for
the first baby, there are ten sad-faced
women in black, many of them with
widows wells.
This was especially true recently
when the panic sent anxious deposit
ors by the hundreds to draw out their
small savings, and it was therefore es-
peclallJ refreshing to see in thas
crowding somber line not Lola from
Berl1n, but Marguerite from Italy, :,
trim, bright-eyed little woman with
scarlet handkerchief around her neck
and her uncovered, glossy, black locks
puffed and braided and curled as If
for an inauguration bah.
She waited patiently--even cheer
fully-as slowly foot by foot she ap.
preached the paying teller's desk, but
1t was two o'clock before her turn
came. She began to ok weary, but
she gave the wearier man behind the
little window a confiding smile as
she handed him her bank book and
said:
i want it ALL"
He glanced at the book and count
ed out $312 in one-dollar bills.
THAT mine," gasped the little
woman.
The teller nodded
She fingered the bills, looking more
puzzled. The woman behind her was
almost crying with impatience. The
line swayed as if it had been a row of
bricks and some one had hit the last
brick in the row. Still Marguerite
folded and unfolded the bills; she had
all the repose of her native land.

sure these all mine.''
"All yours" the man answered, la
conically.
Ordinarily he would have told her
she was blocking the line, but this
day he saw no objection to the delay.
- She ventured one more question:
You sure these mine-these dollars? ?
I thought put in fives and tens"
"These are all yours" he assured
her emphatically.
She flashed him a glimpse Of white
teeth.
"All right, then," she said, idiomat.
ically. "Tony-my mamie tell me
my money not here. He say, take 1t
dll out l say: I go see.'"
Then untying the corner Of a red
handkerchief and taking from it a
five-dollar gold piece and several
grimy bills she added them to the pile
in front Of her and pushed the whole
toward the astonished bank official.
You put them all back" she COM
manded. II see them, so know they
