AN OVERDRAFT.
f'tip HritNon I-'or n 1'et'iillur Itrqnrat
Itrct-lvoil Ity it Hit nk.
"We often receive peculiar requests
for overdrafts," said bunker the oth
er day. "A client whose standing ac
count had never exceeded $1,000 re
quested us to grant lilm an overdraft
of $-1,000, stating that he was not able
to offer any explanation at the present,
but assured us that at no time would
the bank be in any danger of losing, as
the overdraft would not be real.
"After some hesitancy we consented,
but stipulated certain conditions and
reserved the privilege of refusing if
these conditions were not followed.
"Shortly after bis departure a well
dressed gentleman came In and handed
to our paying teller a check for $fi,000
bearing the signature or our client and
with it a letter requesting us to honor
the check with cash. This letter was
one of the conditions we imposed for
our safety. Still feeling that we were
taking a chance, the money was passed
out to li I tn. After holding tho currency
a moment in his bands he returned it,
with a request for the cheek, which he
destroyed before us.
"Ou the following day our client
thanked us for our courtesy and waiv
ed the overdraft privilege, saying that
he had no further use for It. He had
with hhu a check for $5,000, which he
deposited. This lie had won from his
friend ou a bet. He had bet that he
could negotiate an overdraft for that
amount without first explaining that
It was a bet and the nature of It, ami
his friend wagered that no bank would
trust him for that amount." Knusaa

IRISH STORIES.
Some Droll Aniturcra and Heady Wit
From Hotel Wnltei-H. l
Of stories of Irish hospitality Mr. '
Macready had a full supply; also of
hotel attendants and the peasantry.
On one occasion he asked the girl in
attendance for poached eggs. She
looked a bit nonplused at first, but
after a little hesitation replied. "There
are no poached eggs In the place, sir,
but 1 think I could get you some
poached salmon."
In a poor little cottage of two rooms
he saw a married (ouple and seven
children. Hearing a baby cry, he
asked to see it and explained that he
took an interest In babies, having one
at home. The infant was produced
for Inspection, and the mother asked
proudly, "Is yours as big as that,
slrV" To which be replied, "I think it
is a little bigger." Instantly the In
stincts of (lie mother were roused,
and. tossing her bead, she said: "So
well It might be. That's only half of
ours; the other half Is with God. Wo
had twins."
At a hotel one or the party asked,
"Have you got any celery, waiter';"
"No, sir," was the significant answer.
"I relies on me chances." That man
deserved an extra tip. On another oc
casion the dinner was especially good
and well served. At the conclusion
ono of the party remarked, "You're an
angel, Pat." "I am, sir," assented Pat,
"but I tly low."- Loudon Telegraph.
"Thou" itml "Yon" Aliroml.
The only safe rule for the English
man abroad Is to stick to "you" In
French or German. "Tntoloinoni." m
"theelng and thoulug." would imply a
uuiiiii-iiiii' uiieiuion 10 insult, a pat
ronizing assumption of Indisputable
superhrity to the person addressed or
such familiarity as Is proper only be
tween lovers, parents and children and
Intimate friends. At one time overv
Individual was "thou," but after flat
terers began to call Itomuu emperors
"you" (nionarchs remain "we" to this
day) the polite plural spread until In
Louis XIV.'s time only servants were
"thou" In France. The restoration of
"thou" as a pronoun of familiar en
dearment Is due to Rousseau and the

"What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

Tin- Ilnrleil Hell.
Near the little village of Raleigh, In
England, there Is a hollow, said to have
been caused by an earthquake cen
turies ago, which is said to have swal
lowed up a whole village, lucludlng'the
church. To this place the villagers of
Raleigh were in the habit of repair
ing every Christinas morning, putting
their ears to the ground and listening,
as they assorted, to the church bell
ringing beneath them! What was real
ly heard was the bell of a neighboring
church, the sound being borne along
the surface of the ground. This cus
tom was in existence, we believe, as
late as half a century ago. Loudon

MUSIC AND HUMOR.
An EnKllali Critic Sny Thct the Two
Cannot Be Linked.
There Is little room In music for hu
mor and no room at all for wit. When
I hear some one speak of the wit of a
Chopin scherzo I think, "My friend,
you had better see a doctor at once;
you are slightly deranged mentally."
In association with words there can be
humor In music, as, for example, the
prolonged low notes Handel gives to
Polyphemus when he asks for a bun
Bred reeds "for my capacious mouth."
But the humor of Haydn nnd Beetho
ven in their Instrumental works consists
entirely of practical Jokes a sudden
low V on the bassoon, a horn passage
which no horn player can ever hope
to play, a bass who enters a bar too
boou or too late. The late Harold Fred
eric summed up the question beauti
fully. He said to me one day when I
had not laughed at one of his stories:
"Musicians have no sense of humor.
When I was a young man touching
negatives in a photographer's studio I
was very musical. I had notes iu my
voice that couldn't be found In any
piano In our parts. I bad no sense of
humor. Afterward I developed a sense
of humor and lost my voice." London

INCITED MUTINY.
An KiiKllhli Admiral Once I)lil Thin
liy Itnyiil Command.
Not only did an English admiral once
receive instructions to Incite his men
to mutiny, but bo actually carried his
instruct Ions out.
On the eve of the death of James L,
and as a result of I'rlnce Charles' mar
riage to Henrietta Maria, Buckingham
agreed to lend the Vanguard and sev
en merchantmen to the French. Re
fore his promise was fulfilled the Hu
guenot rebellion at Rochelle broke out,
and by tho time Sir John rennington,
who hail been put In command, was
ready to sail tho authorities In England
became disagreeably aware that their
ships would be used against the
French Protestants.
P.ucMughain was conscious of tho
storm of indignation this would arouse
In England. In his perplexity the only
i.jlution that occurred to him was to
Instruct Pennington to get his men to
mutiny. A secret message to this ef
fect was sent hlin through the Karl of
Pembroke, and Sir John, who had no
wish to hand the ships over to the
French, obeyed and allowed his crew
to carry him ami his olllcers back to
England.
