Now, children. can you tell me what is a volcano?" “Yes, teacher,” said one of the boys. “A volcano is a sick mountain.” But he did not attend the reception. The explanation he gave almost brought tears to the eyes of those who received it. His daughter was critically ill in Hart- ford. He would not break his engage- ment with the Grand Army post. but the reasonme did not attend the reception also was that within a few; minutes after he had conclum-d his address he was talk ing the first train home. Kept HI. Promise. Some years ago Mark Twain was elect- ed a member of a prominent Grand Army post in Maryland. and he promised to be present 'at the annual meeting and make an address. It was an opportunity for the people of Baltimore to deluge him with hospitality. and a committee was formed to take charge of him for a big reception as soon as he was through with his speech at the banquet. This speech was one of the best he ever delivered, and it put the crowd in roars of laughter. This is a catch question in geometry, as the preceding were catch questions in arithmetic. The window was diamond shaped at first, and was afterward made square. A wise man having a window one yard high and one yard wide, requiring more light, enlarged his window to twice its former size. yet the window was still only one yard high and one yard wide. How was this done? How many days would it take to cut up a piece of cloth 50 yards long, one yaxjd boipgigut off every day? A snail cumbing up :5. pole 20 feet high ascends five feet every day and slips down four feet every night. How long will the snail take to reach the top of the post? The following will nearly always suc~ ceed: It a goose weighs ten pounds and t half its own weight, what is the weight of the goose? “’hen you are asked this question the first time, you will probably instantly answer 15 and will be wrong. The correct answer is 20 pounds. It is astonishing what a very simple query will sometimes catch a wise man nap. ping. The president and managing officials of a leading hank once debated long and seriously whether they should inform the authorities that just after a famous burglary t ee men 30? two women had deposited 000 each n new bank bills that possih y were a portion of those that had recently been stolen in transit be tween the two banks. It was a question whether the suspicion would justify this action, which of course would become public, perhaps get into the newspapers and some illiterate depositors might hear the story with a new twist given to it; not that burglars had put money into the bank. but had been in and had taken some out. The result would be a run. It was finally decided to do nothing. at least for the time. Soon afterward the thievesâ€"for such they wereâ€"relieved the bank’s perplexity. Two of the men and the two women came in singly. but: in a hurry, drew the full amount that was in their names and made 03. The fifth of the party did not return until years att- erward, when a man with cropped hair, an unconscious lockstep halt in his walk and other evidences of having been temâ€"‘ porarily retired from society called and drew the deposit that had slnmbered while he was “doing time up the river.” Some of them, however, are not easily got rid of. A famous confidence woman had her account in a New York bank, avd her quiet demeanor, amiable smile, innocent, almost girlish timidity, quite won the chief ofliciul in charge. He was accustomed to call her aside politely from the somewhat rough crowded line, give her a chair in the auteroom and send her passbook and money by one of the clerks to the receiving teller. Her identity was finally discovered through a police induiry at the bank. and the next time she called the old gentleman offered her not a chair, but her passbook with hen deposits in ful_1_,_ The “poor mung thing” su7ore athim like a trooper. It was quite necessary to call in the moral influence of the porter, displaying his “special deputy” badge, before Miss Innocent made less noise and took herself and her deposits out of the bank, giving the old gentleman a parting shot at the doorway. What can you do with these people when they come to deposit? It is’not criminal to save money, and you cannot arrest them. In some cases their ac- counts m'e closed by the banks, and'they are told to take themselves off, In hint upon which they promptly and quietly not, possibly from fear of the police, ae- customed as they are to obey when told to “move on.” The great bulk of. depositors, perhaps 65 per cent, are of the laboring classes, the weekly wage earners; then come the middle and well to do class, say 30 per cent, and lastly the very rich man and the criminal in about equal proportions. By criminal I do not mean to confine this class to bank burglars, check forgers and bank note counterfeitersâ€"you will see all of these if you watch the line long enoughâ€"but I include all those men and women who avoid police notice when they can and are occasionally “wanted” at police headquarters, the rich keeper of the fashionable gambling house, the woman who is suspected of knowing the whereabouts of a vanished thief or forger. the man who never breaks into a bank himself, but takes a friendly and patronly interest in those who do, and so on up and down the scale of cos- mopolitan vice. At one time or another they all have saving: bank accounts. It seems incomprehensible, but people of all these classes are frequent, even perma- nent depositors. I do not say this from hearsay, but have seen examples of each of them lodging their money even in their own names. EEK Humor and Pathon of the Savings Bank In Great Cities.

The clerk looked up the Old Testament and in Isaiah found the name Maher- shalal-hash-baz. “That’s it,” said the applicant and thoughtfully explained that he and his wife had come across it in the Bible and thought it aristocratic and therefore chose it.

So it sometimes hap- pen: that handwriting as well as tea- turcs and character is handed down in tamilies. Another occult coincidence or psycho- logical phenomenon happened a few years ago to a southern statesman and financier whose family has always been of rank in his native state. This gentle- man was overhauling old documents and letters which had been stored in a musty chest for years and intended to publish whatever might be of historic value and interest. As most of the pictures were ticketed the visitor’s had purchased no catalogue, but before going away Miss B. bought one at the entrance and made a last visit to the portrait for which she felt so strong an attraction. To her astonish- ment she found her own name opposite to its number and learned on inquiry that the original was one or her direct ancestors. “It is such a nice, kind face,” said the girl rather wistfully. "I imagine my fa- ther might have looked like that had he lived.” As Slie passed through the gallery one particu ar portraxt attracted her atten- tion. and she went back to it more than once. Her companion saw in it nothing but the commonplace painting 0?. a. mid- dle aged man in the costume of the latter part or the last century. There was a loan collection of old por- traits exhibited in London lately, and a young girl was among the visitors. She was an orphan and wealthy, but without near relatives and was often heard to complain of the loneliness ot_ her position. to exemplify this mysterious bond be- tween ancestors and descendants are very curious. An Instance of the Influence of Be- redlty at a Picture Gallery. Doctors disagree as to the influence of heledity. Some hold that a great deal hinges upon it; others believe the con- trary. Some of the authentic stories told "You will understand, of course, that I have no reference to portrait work.
