We Cling to Early Ideas,
Naturalists are now telling us that the
opossum does not play ’possum, but is
merely paralyzed with fear for the time
being. Articles are published every day
in our ornithological' papers and maga-
zines which go to prove that owls can
see equally as well by day as by night.
It is still an undecided question whether
snakes “charm” their prey or not. In the
western backwoods these old stories are
Btill believed in, the ignorant classes
cling with fondness to them and will
not learn anything different, and down
in our own hearts do we not cling to
them, more or less?
Do we not hate to give them up, and
is it not with a little regret that we are
forced to acknowledge that the porcu-
pine does not shoot his quills, that the
bird of paradise really has feet and legs,
and that our national bird, the white
headed eagle, is far from the noble bird
we once thought him to be?—Forest and
Stream.
Strolling Minstrels in the City.
Now that the “sitting on the stoop”
season has set in, the colored minstrel
has begun his rounds. Sometimes he
comes along and simply sings, sometimes
he has a banjo or accordion with which
to accompany himself, and sometimes he
has a couple of brothers along to play
the accompaniments for him. Rarest of
all, four of him will make up a quartet
and do some really effective singing.
These'wandering songsters usually make
a good bit of money on an evening’s
journey, for the stoop dwellers can over-
look little defects in quality in music
brought to their doors, and they pay
liberally for the entertainment.—New
York Times.
Careful and prompt attention given to legal
and notarial business intrusted to me.

Not After McCord.
Receiver Campbell testifies that George
Clark told him that they were not after
McCord. They were after Hogg and
Chilton. “They” in this case means
the pie-zetters. By the confession of
their leader, they attacked the character
of a man against whom they knew noth-
ing in order to strike a blow at two men
against whom they had political grudges.

Story of a New York Bank.
Mrs. Jpnes’ death suggests the story of
the founding of the Chemical bank.
This institution is in some respects the
most famous of American banking
houses. A good many years ago certain
shrewd and wealthy Welshmen under-
took to start a factory for the manufac-
ture of chemicals, and as a branch of
this undertaking they proposed to have
a little bank, more for convenience than
for money making. The chemical fac-
tory was started, and the little bank got
agoing at the same time, and one man
was able to act as president, cashier and
teller. By and by it began to dawn
upon the stockholders that the little bank
was the most profitable branch of their
undertaking.
A hard headed Wc%hrnau named
Jones, who had married the daughter of
Mr. Mason, the founder of the chemical
factory and bank, begpn to teach the old
New Yorkers what banking was. The
capital was small, and the profits were
constantly charged to the surplus ac-
count, until by and by the stockholders
found that they had a bigger surplus
than they had capital. The business in-
creased, and so did the surplus, and the
directors kept on adding the profits to
the surplus, satisfied to see that pile
grow rather than to take the dividends
in cash.
Out of this kind of banking has grown
the modern Chemical bank, on a capital
of $300,000. It has made a surplus of
many millions of dollars, it pays fre-
quently semi-monthly dividends of 4 0^.5
per cent., its stock is quoted away up.in
the thousands and is only obtainable
through the death of some stockholder
and the subsequent closing out of his
estate.—New York Cor. Chicago Herald.

Look Out for Her.
Maude went shopping recently, and
although Maude knows the interiors of
the big mercantile emporiums almost as
well as that of her own home, she met
with a brand new experience. Said she:
“I had made all of my purchases ex-
cept one. It was a neglige gown, which
the shop girl vulgarly called a wrapper.
There was a dainty pink garment and
one in pale blue. 1 couldn’t decide
which one would best suit my style of
beauty, so I just sat there thinking it
over. Before I could make up my mind
a well dressed woman rushed up and
saluted the girl behind the counter with:
‘Don’t you remember me? I’ve bought
several of these wrappers, and a lot of
my friends have them too. We are all
delighted with them. The pink ones
are so becoming, and I can’t see How the
firm sells them so low. Do you know 1
put a little extra trimming on one and
use it as a tea gown. Oh, they are a
bargain.’ Then she moved on.
•‘By this time 1 had decided to take
the pink one and ordered it sent home.
As I was leaving the store I heard a fa-
miliar voice, and there in the glove de-
partment was the same woman declaring
that those suede gloves were ridiculously
cheap, and a customer who was hesitat-
ing bought two pairs at once. I played
detective after that and saw the woman
help other doubtful customers to make
up their minds until I was convinced
that she was a fixture in the establish-
ment.
“Now I am sorry I didn’t take the blue
wrapper.”—New York Recorder.

Good Looks.
Good looks are more than skin deep,
depending upon a healthy condition of
all the vital organs. If the liver be in-
active you have a bilious look, if your
stomach be disordered you have a dys-
peptic look, and if your kidneys be af-
fected you have a pinched look. Secure
good health and you will have good
looks. Electric Bitters is the great

The Test of Greatness.
When Elliston came down from Lon-
don to his own theater at Birmingham
he was known to scarcely a member of
his own company. On reprimanding
one of them sharply the irate actor
threatened to kick him off the stage.
He rushed to the stage manager and
asked who that man was. “Mr. A—,” oi
“A great man—a very great man," said u
Elliston; “he threatened to kick me, the
lessee of Drury Lane. Such a man as
that must go to London; he mustn’t
’’ And he en-
on the spot for Drury
Lane.—San Francisco Argonaut
An Honest Boniface.
A college graduate is now telling en-
thusiastically a story about the honesty
of a tavern keeper in the old college
town. The graduate had not visited the
place since his college life ended until
the other day, when a convention of his
secret society was held there. He went
around to the old tavern where he had
had many late suppers, to see if the pro-
prietor was still alive and to take a look
at the room where he had toasted every
one and everything connected with his
college and his class.
“Halloa, Mr. X—said the old inn-
keeper, “I’m glad to see you, for I owe
you six dollars.” “Owe me six dollars?”
said the graduate in astonishment. “1
shouldn’t have been surprised if I had
owed you, but I don’t see how you can
owe me. Certainly such a condition of
affairs never existed when I was in col-
lege.” The old man took out his ledger.
“There you are,” he said triumphantly.
“Just before you went away you settled
your account, and you overpaid me six
dollars. There it is to your credit.”
There was only one thing for a college
man to do in his old meeting place, and
this was promptly done—a debt washed
out just as others’had been washed in, if
one may say it.—New York Tribune.

that nothing but a genuine pour-down
will keep the crowd away.
Deputy Marshal Curtis, who came
down from Marshall, Tex., to take
charge of “Billy the Bum,” arrested by

There are a number of notary commis-
sions still remaining uncalled for at the
county clerk’s office. As there might be
a question as to the validity of the offi-
cial acts of such notaries as have neg-
lected to call for their commissions, per-
sons having important transactions in
that line would do well to make inqui-
ries on the subject before having tho seal
affixed. The old commissions expired
on May 31.
There is a new aiderman around at the
home of Aiderman John H. Bolton of
