Help Needed at Once.

There is family of mother and three
children in this city suffering from cold
and hunger. The mother, who is good
woman is unable TO work suffering with
infiamatory rheumatism. The supervi-
sOr of the ward in which she resided un-
til recently refused to give her and the
children any aid preferring that they
should suffer and starve for reasons of
his own. The condition of the family is
disgrace to our city with all Of its
wealth and kindly disposed people. A
few kind hearted people have kept the
family from actual starvation. but they
cannot bear the entire expense None
should be permitted to suffer, even if the
! legal authorities refuse to act.

DID HIM A FAVOR.
His Apparently Innocent Request Cost
the Bank Dearly.


A customer having a fairly good bal
ance. never going below four figures,
at London bank hurried in one morn
ing and asked to see the manager. The
usual civilities were exchanged, and
the caller explained that he was max
ing a rather good investment and had
promised to pay f1,0OO the next day.
well" said the manager. there's
no difficulty about that" "Precisely," &"
was the rejoinder, "but will you do me
a small favor?" WHAT is it," queried
the manager. Il want my friend to
see that my paying him $1,000 will not
exhaust my resources. Will you, there
fore, oblige me by instructing all the
pay clerks (and they were numerous)
to cash my check when it is presented
without referring to the ledger to see
how my account stands? 1t will make
q good impression on my man, and it
cannot do you any harm. as you know
what my balance is" ct was little
over f1,000)
"Certainly. if you particularly wish
it." replied the unsuspecting manager
for his customers name had been long
on the books, and there had never
been any trouble with him.
When the check was presented the
next day at a particular desk the
clerk, without going through the for
mality of referring to the customers
account. pleasantly inquired, How
will you take it?' and handed over the
amount without ado.
The same little ceremony was gone
through at four other pay desks, each
clerk, acting upon instructions, cash
ing Mr.. IS check for f1,OOO, max
ing 5000 in all, or nearly $4,000 IL
excess of the willy customers bal
ance.
And, of course, when Mr.. - re,
ceived a polite note requesting him to
call at the bank he was not to be
found.-Pall Mall Gazette.

entertaining talk on Settlement Work,
in which the Palisade ladies are much
interested. Mrs. Darby, by the way,
has interested herself with the work,
and has made an arrangement with
the park management by which she
will bring over from New York a
large party of poor children who will
be admitted free, and also allowed to
see all the attractions on the grounds
