Nox.I uss Of : billboard.

During a recent run Oh Il western
bank a billboard was set up In the
street, where the line of depositors
were gathered. and its frank statement
OF the banks condition did much to
restore confidence Many people drop
ped out of the line after reading the
sign, which bore this legend: This
bank can pay every dollar on deposit.
1t is one of the strongest banks on the
Pacific coast. Ii has been your friend.
Jealous competitors have worked to
bring you here. Every person in this
line should show their loyalty BY
leaving at once. Your money Is safe.
Why. then. remain here doing an un-
kind and foolish thing? Break ranks"
The run lasted thirty-six hours, but
the bank stood the strain and remain
ed solvent. An enterprising merchant
took advantage of the incident to Sc
cure d novel advertisement for his
store. Ii happened that he was pre-
pared to move into the adjoining build
ing and the picture of the crowd be-
fore the bank had the appearance of
heading for his new quarters. A cut
OF this picture was used for his an
nouncement. the legend reading. Your
money is safe II you follow the crowd
to- giving the name of his own es-
adjustment. = Bookkeeper

The following story IL told OF the
famous PRINTER Makart: The artist
was very passionate chess player.
but he did not Ike his adversary 10
utter a single word during the prog
resS of game \ stranger WHO was
very anxious TO get on intimate terms
with the famous artist thought to be
able to achieve his object by means Of
the royal game, After many tries he
succeeded at last In getting an intro
duction to Makart. aud one day the
latter consented 10 play II game with
him. Being we'll aware Of the fact
that h{s adversary was very much
averse to any talk during the game,
not a word was spoken, and even the
word check" was never spoken. All
the stranger dared to do wns to touch
his adyersary's king when he put that
piece in check. The game ended in
Makart being mated, when the stran-
ger quietly said ''checkmate," Makart
rose very excitedly, threw the pieces
off the board and. giving his opponent
a fierce look. got off his chair. turned
his back to the stranger and exclaimed
"PrattIer!'

Reading Fell Back From Its Excess
sve rominence-Corn Condi
ton Was a Big Factor.

New York, Sept. 29.-The specula-
ton in stocks resumed an extremely
listless tone today, when Reading
fell back from its excessive proml-
hence, u. s. Steel and Union Pacific
retaining the old predominanee, with
dealings OF more than half the aggre.
gate for the Wnoie market. The fea-
ture of the days markets was the
liquidation of corn in response to the
weather conditions favorable for the
completion of the maturing of that
crop.
The increasing prospect of bump
er crop in that cereal mad helpful
influence on other stocks. The spe-
cial weakness of American Sugar was
taken to be due to apprehension That
the case of the government against
that corporation would BE made a
prominent feature in the political
campaign in New IorK State this
fall.
The firm money market has not
checked the improved demand for
bonds The feature Is the reappear-
ance OF many investment issues
which have been dormant for long
time past.

A Cordial Welcome.

A well known American portrait
painter. armed with full length por-
trait study taken off the stretcher and
rolled under his arm, ventufed to call
on Whistler one Sunday morning. His
modest knock brought the great man
to the door. says a writer In Great
Thoughts. Opening 1t little way, he
thrust out his head and demanded IT.
ritably:
"What brings You here? What do
you wantw
The artist stammered out that he
was a student and had study that he
would much like to show Whistler.
Whistler said. "M-m-m-just wait a
minntew and. rushing back into the
room. he turned every picture with
its face to the wall and removed from
the easel the canvas on which he was
engaged. Then. motioning the Amer
lean in, he sat down and said: Now.
what do you want? you know I'm
fearfully busy today, but sit down--sit

Curious Way Of Cooling Water.

The average native woman in the In
terror Of Nicaragua may appear ener-
waited and listless. but her method OF
cooling water is strenuous indeed.
She fills half gallon earthenware jar
about two-thlrds full The jar Is made
Of baked clay and not being glazed. is
partially porous, so that II soon be-
comes moist on the outside. BY means
Of two leathern straps firmly attached
to the neck of the jar the woman
causes the same to rotate swiftly In
the air. TIE mouth is wide open. but
the centrifugal motion keeps the water
from flying out. The endurance shown
by the Nicaraguan women OF the poor
cr class In this form of calisthenicS Is
said to be marvellous. When. In the
opinion of the operator. the water Is
sufficiently cooled she stops the move
ment by a dexterous twist Of her wrist
and hands the jar to the person that
has been waiting to quench his thirst.
By this process tepid water can be re-
duced to the temperature of very
cool mountain spring. - New York
