Amy into an extreme state of agita-
ton. 1t was as follows:
"WERE MARRIED.

Amy's exclamation was a gasp.
"How could he? The last thing he'd

probably thought I'd never hear of

After long bordering she finally
decided to write Homer and after
great labor she sent the following
note:
"May I offer you my c~ongratula-

Kartholl? l have been reading your

'spinster' should have met"
The answer to her note was wholly
unexpected. 1t came the next morn
ing in the person of Homer himself.
Amy was in her room on the second
floor of her home, gazing out of the
window to discover the postman,
when she espied Homer striding
toward the house. She recognized
him instantly, although she had not
seen him for a number of years.
She expected him to pass by. To
her surprise he ran up the steps to
the front door and rang the bell
vigorously.
Amy told the maid to say that she
was out, and then as quickly changed
her mind and raced down the stairs

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

Advice by a Woman Who Always Fills
Out the Stub First.
The west side woman was paying
with q check for some articles she had
bought at 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 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 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 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 a. check and
leave the stub blank you open the
door to a 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 Medes and the
Persians' 1 have always found it
perfectly easy to follow that rule, and
that is one reason l have bank ac-
count today. My husband is never
afraid I will make him any trouble
with it."-New York Press.

When Hats Were Taxed.

Hat taxes were always more ef-
fective with regard to mems headgear
than with women's. Queen Elizabeth
taxed the blocked beaver out of ex-
istence, and Pitts hat tax of 1874
brought substantial revenue. Stamps
were fixed inside the crown of the hat
from threepence to 2 shtllings, accord
ing to it's price. while the penalties for
selling unstamped hats ranged from
f1O. to EGO. and the punishment for
counterfeiting hat stamp was death.
But an attempt to tax womens
French straw hats of the vatican
style signally failed They were
smuggled over in large quantities, and
before this could be COPIED with wat
teau hats went out of fashion, and the
tax was a dead letter.-London Chron

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

ls5ueo Oniy 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 on 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 a certain period,
when 1T is destroyed by burning.
1t takes many clerks to keep the
record Of notes issued and paid. and
so accurately is this work done that
the date when any note was issued,
the person receiving 1t. 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
rehended.-Exchange
