The saloonkeeper stepped into, the Dank to get a check cashed, but the pay ing teller gave . him a cold stare. It would do the paying teller no good with" his superiors to recognize the saloon keeper, for the bank was inclined to be particular about the habits and associa tions of its employes, relates Elliott flower, in the Brooklyn Eagle. !. 1 "You'll have to be Identified," said the paying teller. .' 1 ..' 1 ' "What! " cried the saloonkeeper! ; "You'll have to be identified.'' repeated the. teller calmly. 1 "Now, see here, Charlie," exclaimed the saloon man, -if you're joking" . "Don't block the way please," iner Tupted the teller. "If you'll bring in eome responsible party who knows you 'ij'll be glad to give you the money." "Some responsible party!" repeated : the saloon man. "Why, I own. the sa loon at the corner.' ' "Then you ought to have no trouble Mahout identification," asserted the teller. - , "Trouble! Identification!" the sa-' , loon man fairly yelled. "Why, anybody In the bank can identify me." His voice carried far, and the way all the clerks in the vicinity "got busy" , was most extraordinary.; There wasn't one of them who could see him, although the tried vainly to attract somebody's s anybody's attention. Then the teller leaned forward con fidentially, .' ... "Get the president to identify ..you," " he said. , He's the only onecwiro-xan af ford to do it." i V A few, minutes later the matter was etralghtened but, but, as the saloon man counted tb.9 money, he remarked rather . bitterly to the teller: "The next time you want something with a little bitters in it put on the slate, : you'll have to be identified. Don't forget .that. I never saw you before myself." r. V Batter than honey for less V r; money. Nutritious as well ' I 1 as delicious. .

"The house wanted me to look up a "man down here in the southern part of Hlnols, and t left Chicago for Jackson ville at seven o'clock the next morning, and half ah hour later caught a train for the little town of Virginia, where I thought my man lived. But he wasn't there. He was ten miles away on a farm, and when a driver in a top buggy started with me for the farm it was just 10 de grees below zero, having seen 17 de grees below three hours before. "But even at the farm we didn't find the man. He had gone to Chandlers ille, four miles away." We drove there over still rougher roads, found him, and started back for Virginia, getting there in time for six o'clock supper. The bes jvay back to Chicago was said to be by way of Beardstown and Galesburg, with the train leaving for Beardstown, 13 miles way, at 8: 40 o'clock. ;' "After supper I went to bed and slept an hour and a half, catching the bus for the Beardstown train. I got to Beardstown at nine o'clock, only to find that the Chicago Jtrain did not leave there until 12:30. I got into 0. hotel bus and rode uptown, and went to bed "again for nearly hree hours. When I got back to the station I discovered that there was' no through sleeper to Chicago that it went only to Galesburg, where it arrived at four o'clock. As a conces sion possible, 'because of connecting trains, I could sleep until 4:25, and I should have done so if a man with de lirium tremens handn't wakened me up at 3:45 o'clock sharp. 1 "But I got into a Chicago sleeper at last, just before five o'clock, and the way I hammered my ear till eight o'clock Was l caution. y 1 "But maybe you think I'm not going to sleep to-night!" Some Big Flyers. Of birds now in existence probably the one with the greatest expanse of wing in proportion to the body and with the greatest power of flight Is the frigate or man-o'-war bird, says St. Nicholas. This bird apparently flies more by skill than by strength, for it has no great carrying powers. The wandering alba tross, the largest of all sea birds, is also one of our strongest flyers. One bird was known to fly at least 3..150 miles In 12 days. This bird was caught, tagged, released and caught again. FRESH FEMININE FANCIES. Dainty Trifles That Are Figuring ia the Costumes Now "Be ing Worn. Accessories for beautifying the new spring and summer gown and making the old one look like new were never more numerous or pretty, says the Washington Star, s Take the new red fillet and Chantflly laces with polka dots, for instance. A couple of yards cascaded on the bodice and In the sleeves would change the en tire appearance of a gown. Then there are the new galloon satin bands in all colors, honeycombed with a meshwork of gold thread and with gold cloth-covered button molds eyery inch. A bright red- band of this down the front of a jacket and on the cuffs would make it appear smart, even if it had seen its best days. A cream band of this .galloon trim ming about two inches wide, and with honeycomb stitches of silver and silver cloth-covered button mojds instead of gold, would be beautiful on a long cream broadcloth evening wrap. One of the prettiest new trimmings is of cream scrim about six inches wide, and fringed on both edges. This is deco rated in drawn work, and has an em broidered design in brown. A brown scrim fringe falls over the edge of the white frayed edge. This trimming is iised on gowns, coats and carriage wraps, and, if desired, may be split down the center, using only one fringed edge. . .. ' ; ; ,. Some of the new Jeweled buttons are elaborate and expensive enough to take the place of jewelry. TheVe are imita tlon turquoises, amethysts and emeralds set' with rhinestones, which look like brooches instead of buttons. It is quite a fad to use one of these large buttons on each side of the collar in front, to give the little smart touch so much de sired. ) These buttons come in all shapes. and' sizes, some of which are as large as a silver dollar. . Brass bullet buttons are also popular, and are extremely modish on a black, brown' or navy blue suit. They have the advantage of being inexpensive, but will not be so exclusive as the jeweled buttons. A new tie, which bids fair to be pop ular, is made of a Persian embroidered band about an Inch wide. It is very long, reaching nearly to the waist line; and fastens in the back like a stock, so it does not have to be tied each time. These ties also have stocks attached made of the same material. The newest way of utilizing mallne for the neck, and one which takes the place of the rosette at the back of the collar, is a stiff -looking bow which is worn in front. -j i Some of the new veils have a moire silk border. A pale violet dotted one had a violet moire band all around it about an inch wide, stitched with white silk thread. Blue veils with large red dots and ylce versa, and chiffons in shaded effects, with china silk hemstitched borders, will be used to defy spring zephyrs. ' r Ruchlngs are now assuming the shape 'of 'raffs'; lyhlch are high In the ba'cK',,aii(J grow Narrower toward the front. ' They . are edged with baby ribbon, and are side plaited. The tendency is toward the Medici effect, and it is predicted that this collar will be seen before the season is far advanced. Dainty colored bordered handker chiefs will be used with colored gowns this summer. Pale blues, pinks and even reds are fashionable. Embroidered lisle orsilk stockings to match the gown must be worn by 'the summer girl who wishes to be up to date. Black stockings are no longer con sidered in good taste for wear with dainty colored gowns. The floral effects on some of the new stockings are rather loud, but genteel ones are to be found without much trouble. Hand-embroidered ones add much to the effectiveness of the correct toilet.

When the cloth was removed and the usual toasts were proposed some one suggested a song.

"Come, come, Dr. Macdonald," said the chairman; "we cannot let you escape.""'- ' ; ." '''.-' : The doctor protested that he could not sing. "As a matter of fact," he explained, "my voice isaltogether unmusical and resembles the sound caused by the act of rubbing a brick along the panels of u door." ' .,'"' "v : The company attributed this to the doctor's modesty. Good singers," he was reminded, always needed a lot -of pressing. "Very well." said the doctor; "if you can stand it I will sing." Long before he had finished, his audi ence was uneasy. The unwilling sing er had faithfully described his voice. , There was a painful silence as the doctor sat down, broken at length by the voice of a braw Scot at the end of the table. . . "Mon," he exclaimed, "your singin's no up to much, but your veracity's just awful. You're richt aboot that brick."

Ayers BOOM FOR JAPANESE SONGS Created by Sympathy of the American People for the Japs at War with Russia. "The war in the far east," said the music publisher, according to the New York Sun, '"is making itself felt even in our business. "Of course, we have not caught the Var fever so badly as the newspapers and magazines, but still the song writ ers are beginning to desert , the old homestead and .are concocting lyrics about almond-eyed Japanese maidens. 'The transition is easy, as all com posers can palm off rejected Indian love songs, so popular the last year, and put Japanese titles to then;. Still, there are Jap songs published, because there are hundreds of pretty lyrics from old Jap anese comic operas that can be drawn upon. "Not a single Russian lyric has come under my observation, and I think that gauges the popular pulse to be strongly pro-Japanese. Of course, Japan is natur ally attractive to the song writer, be cause it is the land of beauty and poetry. Incense and geishas; but I hold the strange theory that Gilbert and Sullivan are partly responsible for our Jap sym pathies. .' ' ' "If it is granted that even comic opera stagecraft will create & sympathetic at mosphere, why, many Japanese operas that have followed 'The Mikado' have had some weight. Every one of these hodge-podges has had poetic environ ment like a cherry blossom festival, and the public has remembered that at mosphere when the caperlngs of - the comedians have been forgotten. "On the contrary, every play of Rus sian life revolves around the clanking chains of frigid Siberia, the cruelty of the knout, Intrigue and NihlliEm. Every one of these dramas, of desolation has been an anti-Russian document to the people of emotional tendencies. Op posed to these, the serious Jap dramas 'A Japanese Nightingale' and the melo dramatic "Darling of the Gods,' have been girded with sympathetic stage craft, i ' "Now, I have seen that the Inspired Russian press are inveighing against the American newspapers for misrepre senting them and fostering a pro-Japanese sympathy. I hardly think the news- pers will plead guilty to that charge, for they have but reflected public opinion and prejudice. ':i: i ' "The Japanese. . nation has been blessed with theatrical press agents, and if the Russians wish to stem the tide they had better subsidize some of the playwrights who are now foraging on the free lunch of Broadway.,' I'll cheer fully furnish them with a list of song writer who; will go to work now rora small consideration." i AWAKENING OF THE EARTH. Spring in the North Temperate Zone When the Renewal of Idle Takes Place. , It does not all awake at the same time, not even so small a part of it as that occupied by the United States. Flowers bloom in California the year round, and strawberries ripen in the southern states in April, while in some parts of the north the ice still holds the plants in its chains, says Youth's Companion. s But for all this the spring is the sea son when the earth awakes in the north temperate zone, and in that -part of it inhabited by a majority of the population of the,. United States. By the calendar, spring begins about March 20, and there is a large part of the country in which spring weather prevails on that date. Somewhere about this -time the earth really re news its life. The brooks are unlocked and one hears the babble of the water Instead of the tinkle of the ice. All ,the green things shoot forth and the indefinable quality in the air which stirs the migratory birds to northward flight makes the blood tingle in the veins of men as they go about tlb fields attending to their seasonable tasks. ... ' When the earth "wakes it must work, An excellent test of a nation's prog ress is found In fthe skill which men employ In guiding the efforts of nature in the direction which they choose., A field will produce something; If not grain,, then weeds; If not potatoes, then burdocks. It can be made to yield useful crops Just as well as useless ones. The prosperity of thi3 country is due largely to the results of the wisely directed energy of the annually awakened earth. Try as men will, they cannot escape from dependence on the earth, and on the jever-recurting sequence of seed time and harvest. We may direct the natural forces, but a Power beyond and above all human understanding makes those forces vftal and performs the al ways wonderful miracle of the resur rection at the Easter of-the year. Why He Wept. , The $50,000 school house had just gone tip in ! smoke, and the taxpayers In the crowd looked at one another,' and groaned, for the building was insuffi ciently insured. . A small boy gazing upon the smoldering ruin suddenly burst into' uproarious grief. ( "Why, my little man," exclaimed a sympathetic bystander, "you must have been very fond of your school ! " , " 'Tisn't that," howled the boy; "but I left a nickel in my desk, and I'll never be able to find it in all that mess!" Wo man's Home Companion. You Can, But Better Not. "An abstract noun," said the teacher of the juvenile class, "is the name of something you can think of but cannot touch. Now, Harry, can you give an example. ." , , "Yes, ma'am; a red-hot poker," promptly answered the boy.' Cincin nati Commercial-Tribune. Cherry Pectoral for the children.
