WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Identification That Undoubtedly Was Complete, but Could by No Means
 Be Called piimentary.

stephen Haegen, manager of a Harlem bank, at a dinner recently told the following anecdote: Many years ago, while spending vacation in & city in the upper part of the state. he visited some friends in bank. While there he saw a seyerelooking woman move up to the tellers window and request that small check be cashed. She asked the man in the cage to call up the person from whom she had received the check and he would iden' tify her
 The teller called up the man and asked him to describe the woman. He did so in the following manner: She looked like the crankiest person iu the world. She was dressed in the fashion of about five years ago. ] think she Is an old cat. She wore a blue straw hat, but then it may be green, and I think she paints, She wore two fake diamond rings.

ACCORDED A HIGH POSITION
Women of Servia, We'll Educated and Able, Are Companions of Their
 Husbands and Brothers.

There is no country in the world where women occupy more dignitied position in the home than Servia. The Seryian idea is quite different from that of the Turk, who keeps his wom- en behind shut doors or the German. whose ideal woman is a hausfrau. In Servia the woman is the companion of the man,
 A man is responsible for his un- married sisters, and throughout the Balkan states it Is considered rather a breach of etiquette for him to mar ry before his older sister
 No Servian girl would feel she could hold up her head in society unless she could speak four languages. There is hardly Servian woman who can not play some musical instrument, Embroidery, painting, drawing. and sculpture are all studied. Politics Is a popular feature among women.
 Servian women are very domesticat- ed and the highest ladies pay personal attention to trivial matters of house. keeping.
 There are two women doctors prac- ticing in Belgrade, and several wom- en teachers. But public opinion, on the whole, is rather against women entering the labor arena.

Tree-Bark Blankets.

They have trees for blankets In Ecuador, and they like them, too. They are fond of the firm touch of the bark against them as they sleep.
 We would probably think they were zero in covering" and we would doubtless wake up in much bestiffened condition if we slept under a wood covering.
 But the native Indians are most enthusiastic, according to J. Jame- son, a traveller and lecturer, who has recently returned from those parts.
 The blankets are made from the bark of tree which Is cut particular ly thin. It is pounded and moistened and then pounded some more and put out into the sun to dry. And a most desirable and economical blanket 1t Is, lasting anywheres from two to i've years.

JekyII and Hyde Both Out.

One day MT. Jenkins, senior part her in the firm, came out of his pri- vate office and handed Jimmy, the of fee boy, slip of paper and said:
 Here, Jimmy, go over to the pub lie library and get me 'Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde.' I have written it on 8 piece of paper for you so that you will not forget
 Jimmy lost the slip of paper on the way. When he discovered his loss he returned to the office without go- ing to the library and was seated at his little desk innocently shooting flies with rubber band when Mr. Jenkins said to him:
 "Well, Jimmy, where's pr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde?'"
 "Please, MT. Jenkins," responded Jimmy with we'll feigned candor, the lady at the library said they both just went to the ball game and to call for them in the morning."

STATE CHAMPION NOT IN IT
Real Hero of the Links in This Com nunity Was the Man Who Re-
 fused to Play the Game.

We had a chance to demonstrate our theory last fall, says a writer in the Topeka Capital. It worked like a potato in rheumatic's pocket, Through the influence of the missus, who has friends, We obtained a card ta very select country club in an C. stern state, where we stayed ten dsHs. The club had golftis in it's most acute form. The men end wom- eh who freQuented the club played golf, talked golf ate golf and slept it. It was the home of the state champion and the game was the one important topic of conversation.
 For day or two we were lost in the atmosphere of golf which befog- ged the place, Then we began to at tract a little attention by indicating in a delicate and polite way that the whole thing bored us to extinction When We respectfully declined to en- gage in the game or borrow any of the implements connected with the sport there was great surprise. Our assertion that we did not play the game and did not wish to was receiv- ed with amazement. Up to the time of our advent the state champion had been the colossal figure of the club.
 At the end Of three days we had the state champion hanging on to the ropes. At the end of week his ex- istence had been forgotten. As curiosity he had been crowded out of place by the eccentric" Kansan who sat around reading the reports of the worlds championship games, deaf to golf and all of it's manifestations. It isn't always the hand that Is dealt you. It Is the way you play it.

 After dinner the hustler takes the night train out of Glasgow by way of Androssan to Belfast, reaches Dublin in the afternoon and takes the night train to Killarney.

stockwell England, where a hidden church over 600 years old has just been discovered, has hitherto been chiefly famous for it's ghost. which set all London in an uproar in 1772. Max ing the furniture dance and the crock cry fall was the ghosts speciality, though by way of variety an egg once flew across the room and hit the cat. Having excited London and frightened Stockwell, the ghost retired, leaving behind a firm belief in his supernatural origin, until many years later serv' ant admitted that long horse hairs at-
 ached to the crockery and wires to
 he furniture had enabled her to play the ghost so successfully that frighten' ed beholders never even detected such open feats as throwing the egg at the cat.

VIII Give Anything, No Matter the

Fancy at the Moment.

Among the Eskimos OF the Boring
sea region, there is nc fixed value for
whalebone. furs or anything they may
have to trade, If one Of them has any
thing Of value, he will keep 1t until
some white man appears with some.
thing. that appeals. to his. eye. And
the money value Of what may take
him does not make any difference to
him. II he has q trinket that may be
worth a dollar, and some n offers to
give him for 1t something that is
worth a thousand dollars but Of which
he has no need he will refuse to trade.
but he will give anything he possesses
for what he really wants. I
An Eskimo Of st. Lawrence island,
In Bering sea, made q catch one sea
son of q big bowhead whale. The head.
Of baleen was worth between ten and.
fifteen thousand dollars. He knew the.
approximate value of the head, but he
held on to It with no apparent desire
to trade. One day a trader appeared
with a small gasoline launch, valued
at perhaps two or three hundred dol,
lars. The sight of, that 50 took the
native that he straighway traded bis
head Of bone for 1t. . !
Far out In the straits one day he
raj out Of gasoline. He abandoned the
launch for the canoe he was towing,
and padded back to the island. But
he did not regret his trade. He was
satisfied, and ready to try for another
whale.-Youth's Companion.
