BANKERS KNEW THEIR MAN
In His Customary Condition, and No
Further Identification Was
Necessary.

One day big city bank received
the following message from one of its
country correspondents: PAY S25 to
John Smith who will call today" The
cashiers curiousity became suspicion
when a cabman assisted into the bank
drunken fare" who shouted that he
was John Smith and wanted some
money. Two clerks pushed, pulled
and piloted the bofsterous individual
into a private room away from the
sight and hearing of regular depos-
itors. The cashier wired the country
bank:
. Man claiming to be John Smith Is
here Highly intoxicated. Shall we
await Identification"
The answer read: identification
complete. Pay the money."-Success

The uncertainties of life in New
York are reflected in wedding rings,
said the jeweler. "Of all the wedding
rings l have sold this season more

rest of the inscription was engraved

order that the date might be correct

at the table d'hote, her method of
handling cutlery is strongly calculat-
ed to sever ones tugular vein. She
has no regularity in her work, and
at the hour that she ought to be
making beds she is probably sitting
on the public staircase nursing her
baby. She is generally married and,
conversely, often ten years younger
than you take her to be. To English
eyes she is rarely beautiful. Her
hair is strained tightly under her
cap, her cheeks have seldom any deli

tions are ungainly and awkward
Ones admiration is more frequently
excited by some aged crone, whose
fine sharp features, alabaster COM

pretty picture of rustic dignity. But
the favorable impression is dispelled
when the old lady, after uttering a
few cultural pleasantries, envelopes
herself and her neighbors in cloud

of reminding US that by rights we

when our fish had dropped acciden-
tally out of the creel and we came
home empty-handed, it was suggested
by giggling chorus that we had sold
our catch to pay our bill, which, by
the way, amounted to ninety-five

that she was not quite so noisy and

the rich gold or silver embroiderfes
