A TIP ON CHECKS.
Advice by a Woman Who Always Fills
Out the Stub First.

HdVfCe by woman VINO Always ThiS
Out the Stub First.
The west side woman was paying
with q check for some articles she had
bought at a department store, and she
was carefully filing in the stub Of her
check book first "Oh, don't stop for
that" urged her shopping companion,
who was in a hurry. you can do that
when you get home"
Unmoved, the west side woman fin
ished the stub with special care, then
wrote the check, gave it to the sales
man and said to her impatient friend:
Before / was married 1 took care of
some of my fathers accounts. The
first time he ever asked me to fill out
a set Of blank checks for him so he
could sign them he told me: One rule
you must always observe-write the
stub first. Make a vow to yourself,
like unto the vow of Jephthah, that
you will never write a check until the
stub is filed. If for any reason you
should fail later to write the check it
would be a simple matter to cancel
the stub, but if you write check and
leave the stub blank you open the
door to q hundred chances of mistake.
No ones memory can be trusted on
that subject. Never try to trust yours.
Let the law of "the stub first be to
you as the law of the Modes and the
Persians' l have always found ii
perfectly easy to follow that rule, and
! that is one reason l have a bank ac-
count today. My husband is never
afraid I will make him any trouble
with it''-New York Press.

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.
Always Fresh and Clean, as They Are
Issued Only Once.

Issued Only Once.
There is as great a difference be-
tween the systems of issuing and re-
deeming the notes OF the Bank of Eng
land and of the banks OF the United
States as there is in the appearance
Of the notes themselves.
The English note is somewhat longer
and much broader than ours, is Of
rough white paper, with ragged edges,
and is printed Oh one side only, with
few words and with no pictures or
designs. while ours are completely COW
cred on both sides with vignette and
lathe work.
Our notes are issued again and again
until they become so worn that they
are no longer serviceable A. Bank of
England note is never issued more
than once. Every note that comes in
Is Cancelled at once, and then it Is
stored away with other Cancelled notes
to be preserved for q certain period.

the person receiving it, the time when
it was paid into the bank and by
whom, can be ascertained from the
books. If the time was within five
years the note itself can be produced.
Many are the stories of attempts to
counterfeit these notes, which have al
ways been failures. AS the average
time between the issue and the pay
ment of the notes is only five or six
days the fact that a counterfeit is in
circulation is known almost at once,
and the system Of English bankers and
merchants of keeping the numbers of
the notes received and paid gives. the
clew whereby the offender is quickly
apprehended.-Ex

women have always been villifed by
their detractors. Christ himself had
these whisperers after him "does he

A tale some one to you has told
About another, let it pass,
Before you speak, three gates of gold.
Three narrow gateways-first "Is it

Then s'Is, It needful?" in your mind
Give truthful answer, and the next
Is last and narrowest, 'ls it kind?'
"And if to reach your lips at last,
1t passes through these gateways three,
Then you may tell the tale, nor fear
What the result of speech may be. !"
'"'Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor. This command
ment not only forbids perjury in court,
but all slander, no matter how privately
it may be expressed; it forbids ali false
reports spoken or written, printed OF
pictorial, or limited. 1t prohibits ali
Misrepresentation, by perverting a
meaning, or misquoting, Intentionally
or carelessly. 1t forbids all detraction
of whatever kind, all disparagement of

Shun the tale-bearer, the tattler and
the gossiper. When | think of those
mulptudes, buzzing, venomous, tiny

as idlers and tattlers and busybodys and
whisperers, going about and speaking

am constrained old Plautus was right
when he said: "'Those persons who
carry about, and those who listen to
ISLANDERS should, if have any say and
way, all be hanged; the tattlers by
their tongue and the listeners by their
ears" There are many, many people
who are never so happy as when mes
quito-like they can keep fitting, and
buzzing, and singing, especially in the
night time when the sufferer cannot see
to hit and crush his tiny tormentor.

mere gesture, a shrug, wink, an in

those who
Convey libel with frown,
And wink reputation down;
Or by tossing of fan

There is only one person worse than
the slanderer, and that is the one who
listens to it without protest. The re-
ceiver of stolen goods is as bad as the
thief. Therefore receive not their
words, let them recoil upon themselves.
