Nights, Sundays and Holidays.
 The average worker is apt to regard with envy the bank employee, inaa- much as there is popular notion thut his hours are short and that he knocks off work at about in the afternoon. unless, indeed. there should be ''miS- take somewhere" that necessitates keeping all hands to ''balance."
 As Il matter of tact. in certain of the largest banks. particularly those in New York, there is always some one at work All night long, and on Sun days aud holidays as well. these banks have staffs of men kept busfiy engaged in opening letters-thOusands of letters - sorting and listing innumerable checks and drafts representing vast sums of money. These men get things ready for the day force. Were it not for the Light man working con- etantly the day force would soon be overwhelmed
 Between in the afternoon and 3 the next morning there are at work :n the big banks two shifts. They call themselves the scouting force" Each bank has a big "dra wer'' in the general postoffice. and every hour during the night messengers take from this draw CT it's accumulation of mail
 One large bank receives an average mall of 5000 letters day. and of these two-thirds arrive during the night These letters contain many checks and drafts from all parts.
 As soon as they have been opened at the bank the chects are counted ana the totals verified with the footings of the lists. The letters are then stamped -''proven in.'' as bank clerks call It. Then they are acknowledged by clerks detailed for the purpose
 A big task is the assortment or the various checks according to the books wherein they are to be entered Slgnt drafts must be grouped according to the routes of the bank messengers. and everything possible is done to turn over the nights accumulation of mail in proper shape for the clerks in the morning.-Harper's Weekly

A Fine Entertainment

Because of the short period between
the announcement and time Of the enter
tainment and the consequent lack Of pub
licity. the first number of the Star Enter
tainment Course was not attended by as
large number as it should have been.
or will likely be present at the remaining
numbers.
Alvah Green, a humorist, was the en-
tertainer Monday evening, and his clever
impersonations greatly pleased and am.
used the fair-sized audience. Especially
entertaining was Mr.. Green's character
izatlon Of an old lady's visit to Washing

incidents to her centered about ACCENT

those present were considered worth the
entire cost of their season tickets.

NOTHING TO NOTHING
First Football Game Ends Without
Score

Misfit uniforms. mirth and goodnatured
railery marked the initial game of the
football season on Friday last. when the
Rocky Ford high school team and the
alumni eleven mixed on the local gridiron.
The game furnished excitement and
amusement for goodly crowd of friends
and students, and though resulting in
neither teams being able to score it gave
Coach Morris a good idea OF what may
be expected OF his team and of where in
dividual coaching Is most needed.
1t was good tryout. and gave the boys
splendid practice for their first league
game. which will be played here tomor-
row afternoon with Centennial of Pueblo.
This team is composed of some very
husky material--one member standing 6
feet inch in his socks and weighing
lz9R pounds while the average weight
Of the team is over $50 pounds-and a
very good game is expected.
