AN OVERDRAF
p ON For a Peculiar Request
~ deceived by u BANK.

wv, II ften receive peculiar requests
for overdrafts," said banker the otn-
err day. a client whose standing &C
count had never exceeded 81, 600 re
quested us to grant hiC1 an overdrdft
of $4,000, stating that he was not able
to offer any explanation at the present,
but assured Us that at no time would
the bank be in any danger of losing, as
the overdraft would not be real.
After some he3itancy we consented,
but stipulated certain conditions and
reserved the privilege of refusing if
these conditions were not followed.
Shortly after his departure a well
dressed gentleman came in and handed
to our paying teller II check for 5000
bearing the signature of our client ana
with it letter requesting lis to honor
the check with cash. This letter was
one Of the conditions we imposed for
our safety Still feeling that we were
taking chance, the money was passed
out to him. After holding the currency
a moment in his hands he returned it,
with request for the check, which he
destroyed before us.
ON the following day our client
thanked us for our courtesy and waiv-
ed the overdraft privilege, saying that
he had no further use for it. He had
with him check for 5000, which he
deposited. This he had won from his
friend ON bet He had bet that he
could negotiate an overdraft for that
amount without first explaining that
it was a bet and the nature of it, and
his friend wagercd that no bank would
trust him for that amount" -Kansas

oThou" and "You" Abroad,

The only safe rule for the English
man abroad Is to stick to you in
French or German. "Tutoiement,' or
''theeing and thouing." would imply a
deliberate intention to insult. pat
ronizing assumption of indisputable
superiority to the person addressed OF
such familiarity as is proper only be
tween lovers. parents and children and
intimate friends. At one time every
individual was thou" but after fiat
terers began to call Roman emperors
YOU (monarchs remain we to this
day. the polite plural spread until il
Louis XIV.'s time only servants Were
thou in France. The restoration Of
thou as a pronoun of familiar en-
dearment Is due to Rousseau and the
revolution. 1t has survived throughout
in poetry and in addressing the Deity.

A STOLEN INVENTION.
How the Designer of the Hanson
Oh Lost a Fortune.


Charles Hanson, the famous English
architect, was n talented man in many
respects other than in the exercise of
his profession. He was dining on
certain day with q few friends when
one Of them tainted him with being
unable to invent a vehicle which would
supersede the old fashioned hacks and
cabs in universal use in London. Mr..
Hanson got a sheet of paper, and
without any delay he sketched out his
idea of safe and convenient mode of
passing through the crowded streets
of the great metropolis. His friends
watched him while he was at work
and unanimously applauded the sketch
which he had drawn. They dubbed it
by the name of its inventor, and it was
then and there called Hanson car
One of those present advised him to
take out patent for it, which he said
he would do on the morrow. HOwev-
er, there was one dishonest man in the
company, by whom he was forestalled,
for on reaching his own house that
evening and being, like Mr.. Hanson,
a clever craftsman, as all great archi-
tectS are he Sketched out q car like
the drawing he had seen, and early the
following morning he took it to the
office and got out a patent for it in
his own name, thus robbing the talent
ed inventor of all the remuneration
which he deserved to reap from it. II
brought an immense but i'll gotten for
tune to the one who had perpetrated
the fraud, whereas Mr.. Charles Han
som was never one penny the richer

Some Advice to Follow If They Must
Use the Weed.
Very few people are aware how much
harm is done to young men by the al
most universal habit of cigarette smok-
ing The man who smokes cigarettes
has one always in his mouth and is con-
tinually inhaling nicotine until the sys-
tenn is saturated with the poison.
The result Of this practice is a ca
tarrhal condition of the nose, throat
and bronchi, disordered and very ir-
ritable state of the nerves, weak and
rapid action of the heart and indiges-
ton.
Thin, anaemic, weak, with clammy
hands stained with nicotine poison, I'M
strung nerves and degenerated mus
Giles, the youth of the land go on igno
rantly suffering the consequences of a
pernicious habit until attacks of heart
trouble, nervous prostration, melan-
cholia, etc, bring their condition to the
attention of the physician.
If a man must smoke-and we admit
the charm of the habit to those who
have become accustomed to its sooth-
ing infuences-let him choose a mild
cigar and have certain set times for In
dulging. If he puts a certain restraint
upon himself from the start in the mat
ter of smoking, he will not overdo IT
and there are few men who can smoke
more than three cigars a day without
injury.-Medical Brief.

UMBRELLAS.
The Various Processes. which Enter
Into Their Making.


The ribs and stems of an umbrella are
generally made in factories having a
speciality OF these items and are sent
thence to the real manufacturer. Here
first the man whose work II is to as
semble the parts inserts a bit OF wire
into the small holes at the end of the
ribs, draws them together about the
main rod and puts on the ferrule.
In cutting the cloth seventy-five thick
nesses or whereabouts are arranged up
on a splitting table. at which skilled
operators work. In another room are q
number Of girls who operate hemming
machines. A thousand yards Of hem
med goods is but a days work for one
of these girls. The machines at which
they work are geared to high speed.
After hemming, the cloth is cut into
triangular pieces with a knife. as be-
fore, but with a pattern laid upon the
cloth. The next operation is the sew
ing Of the triangular pieces together by
machinery.
The covers and the frames are now
ready to be brought together. In all
there are twenty one places where the
cover is to be attached to the frame in
the average umbrella.
The handle Is next glued on, and the
umbrella Is ready for pressing and in
spection. BY far the greater number
of umbrellas today are equipped with
wooden handles. A large variety OF

Odd Way In Which It's Walls Were
Decorated by Indians.
Thousands of arrows shot by bands
Of Indians for possibly centuries pro-
trude from q insure several hundred
feet long in the rocky walls of Arrow
canyon, about twenty miles from the
crossing Of the Salt Lake railroad over
the Moapoa river, says the Los Angeles
Times.
At point where the perpendicular
wall Of the canyon juts out about 200
feet above the canyon bed a thin,
snakelike assure runs in the rock Sue
cessive generations of Indians have
gone to the place at regular intervals
and shot their gayly befeathered ar
rows upward, forming a fringed scarf
unique in its oddity. The arrows are
SO thick that little room is left for
more, and owing to the position of the
assure at height of 200 feet and IN
der the shelving wall the relics, pro-
tected from the weather, have stuck
where they were driven in uncounted
years ago.
Already relic hunters are visiting the
place and despoiling it of it's treasures
by shooting the arrows out with revolv-
erS and rifles. In the sands of the bed
Of the canyon many arrowheads of
various sizes and shapes are found
buried. 1t Is believed that the Indians
visited this spot in connection with
some rite. Crude, strange figures have
been cut by them in the face of the rock
walls.

The Buried Bell.

Near the little village of Raleigh, in
England, there is hollow, said to have
been caused by an earthquake cen
turtles ago, which is said to have swal-
lowed up a whole village, including the
church. To this place the villagers OF
Raleigh were in the habit of repair
ing every Christmas morning, putting
their ears to the ground and listening
as they asserted, to the church bell
ringing beneath them. What was real
~ heard was the bell Of neighboring
church, the sound being borne along
the surface of the ground. This Gus
tom was In existence, we believe, as
late as half a century ago.-Londor

MUSIC AND HUMOR.

There is little room in music for hui

you had better see a doctor at once;
you are slightly deranged mentally"
In association with words there can be
humor in music, as, for example, the
prolonged low notes Handel gives to
Polyphemus when be asks for hun
dred reeds for my capacious mouth"
But the humor of Haydn and Beetho-
ven in their instrumental works consists
entirely Of practical jokes-a sudden
low c on the bassoon, a horn passage
which no horn player can ever hope
to play, bass who enters 4 bar too
soon or too late. The late Harold Fred
eric summed up the question beauti-
fully. He said to me one day when /
had not laughed at one of his stories:
Musicians have no sense of humor.

The Way Liquor Was Struggled
Aboard One of Our Warships.

While On the China station in 1886
the master at arms mess on the Unit
ed States steamer Omaha was in
drunkes and demoralized condition for
several weeks. Try as he might the
captain could not discover where the
LIQUOR was coming from. Finally all
shore liberty was stopped, but the
drunkenness did not cease. On the
morning of sailing while the executive
officer was near the port gangway
watching the taking in of stores he
asked what was in a large demijohn
that came over the side with boxes
and packages. He was told that 1t was
vinegar He pulled the cork and sniff
ed it. 1t was vinegar. Then his at
tention was attracted by the tag
marked master at arms mess" and,
remarking that the mess must be us
ing vinegar for bathing, as he had al
ready seen the same demijohn brought
aboard twice within that week, he or
dered the officer of the deck to inspect
it carefully and taste it. He did; ii
was vinegar. That officer, however,
noticed that the jug had an unusually
long neck He poured out a small
quantity of vinegar and discovered an
extra cork in the bottom of the neck.
Below that were three gallons of gin
The vinegar between the corks had
served to deceive the inspecting of
