WALKING BANKS.
All Mexicans Carry Large Sums of
Money on Their Persons.
A bank to the Mexican is not to be
thought of for the bandling of small
amounts. Almost any Mexican in pro-
fessional or business life carries on his
person anywhere between $200 and
$800. Even the poor Indian in his
blanket can more than likely produce
sore than many foreigners.
The ordinary foreigner In Mexico.
whether tourist or business man lo-
cated here, carries perhaps $50 to $100
with him and no more. If a tourist,
the foreigner will deposit any money
over that amount he happens to have
with him In the safe of the hotel at
which he Is registered: if a business
man. he will carry no more than that
amount on his person and will give a
check for anything over that amount.
The Spaniard resident in Mexico is in-
clined to carry much larger sums than
any other foreigner here, and he will
often carry sums of money aggregat-
ing nearly £1.000.
The ordinary Mexican professiona!
man will be found to carry sums of
money on his person that would sur-
prise the ordinary traveler and even
cause him worry were he forced to
carry it with him, yet the Mexican
never even thinks of it.
It was but a few days ago that an
instance of this kind was brought to
attention. One Mexican of the middle
class asked another in a casual way
if he could change a thousand dollac
bill. The other pulled out a wallet
from his inside pocket and counted out
nearly $2,000. Time after time this
has happened, and it seems no uncom-
mon thing for a Mexican of the middle
class to carry between one and two
thousand pesos on his person.
One Mexican, who was being re-
proved for this apparent carelessness
and imprudence, replied:
“We do not have any of your Ameri-
ean holdups and highwaymen in Mex-
jeo. I have known my friends to have
their pockets picked for large amounts
through their own carelessness as to
where they carried their money. but [
have never heard of any one being hit
over the head with a blackjack and his
pockets rifled of their contents. That
thing is unknown in Mexico. and so
we have no fear In carrying these
amounts.”
The check idea seems to have taken
but small hold as yet upon the citizens
of Mexico. especially when small
amounts of less than $1,000 are con-
cerned. They consider it much easier
to pay spot cash than to give a check |
for amounts of £50 and $100, and they |
claim, with some amount of reason,
that a business deal ean be put through
with better advantage to themselves
when the cash is in sight,
Even the Indians in the street carry
amounts of cash that would never be
supposed to be in their possession. They
carry their money in leather belts fas-
tened around thelr bodies inside their ,
trousers. These belts are hollow and |
are open at one end. Into the open
end the Indian slips his pesos or bills |
until he has the whole full. The belt |
then is either taken off and nidden |
away or the bills are changed for lar-
ger denominations and still carried
around the body. But the Indian is a
stickler for “pesos duros™ and prefers |
them to any other class of money ex- |
cept gold.—Mexican Herald. |

Too Much at Stake.
The question for discussion before
the debating society that bad wet in |
the little schoolhouse belonging to dis- |
trict No. 13 was this: “Resolved, That
the works published under the name |
of Willlam Shakespeare were really
written by Lord Bacon.”

depended solely on their oratory; hence
the Baconians, having learned all that
could be said in favor of their con-
tention, made really a very plausible
case and had decidedly much the bet-
ter of the argument. At the close of
the discussion the three judges who
had been selected held a brief consul-
tation and decided in favor of the neg-
T
ative.
“Why did you decide against us?
subsequently asked one of the dispu-
tants. “You know we presented good |
arguments. while the other fellows
didn’t show any.”
“That's all right” answered the
judge to whom this question was ad-
dressed, “but two of us had just
bought expensive copies of “The Works

$15. Do you suppose we were going
to acknowledge that Shakespeare didn't

The End Came Another Way.
A distinguished actor was one time
engaged at one of our leading provin-
cial theaters in a drama in which he
attempts ap escape from a convict pris-
on, first by getting rid of his fetters by
means of a file and lastly by getting
over the prison wall. In the act of
| dolng this he is shot at by a warder
and kiljed.
One particular night the drama had
run its usual course up to the point
where the actor attempts the escape
gver the prison wall. The warder, as
usual, presented his rifle, but instead
of a loud report nothing but a faint
The rifle
was lowered and after a brief delay
again pointed, but with the same dis-
appointing result.
The audience now began to hiss and
jeer. The disgusted actor then got off
the prison wall and, staggering toward
the footlights, exclaimed, “It's all up—
I've swallowed the file!” and fell prone
on the stage amid the laughter and ap
plause of the audience. — Pearson's
Weekly.
Bachelor Seal Skin.
“This skin,” said the furrier, “came
from a young seal bachelor, a youth
ignorant of love and of life.”
“How do yon know?” the lady asked.
“By its fineness, its perfection,” he
replied. “The pile, you will note, is
like close cut velvet. Only bachelor
seal skins have such a pile.
“The bachelor seal,” he went on,
“has a rather sad life. The big bull
seals In the seal islands have each a
household of fifteen or twenty wives,
but the young bachelors must herd
by themselves. Let one of them at-
tempt to marry and straightway a bull
slays him. Not till he is big enough
to fight and conquer a bull—not till he
is fourteen or fifteen years old—can he
know the delight of settling down in a
home of his own.
“TTo leads a hard, ascetic, celibate life,
only in the end as like as not to make
a lady a very fine coat. All the very
fine coats, 1 repeat, are made from the
unhappy bachelor geals.”—Clncinnati

Jack Tar and the Actor.
A famous Irish actor of the elght-
eenth century named John Moody
| early In life, before he went on the
| clesiastical assurance.—E. R. Embree |
stage, had been to Jamalca and work-
ed his passage home as a sailor before
the mast. One night some time after
he had been engaged at Drury Lane
when he was acting Stephano in “The
Tempest” a sailor In the front row of
the pit got up and, standing upon the
seat, hallooed out, “What cheer, Jack
Moody—what cheer, messmate?”’
This unexpected address rather as-
tonished the audience. Moody, how-
ever, stepped forward and, recognizing
the man, called out: “Tom Hullett,
keep your jawking tacks aboard. Don't
disturb the crew and passengers. When
the show is over make sail for the
stage door, and we'll finish the evening
over a jug of punch. But till then,
Tom, keep your locker shut.” Moody,
it is related, was as good as his word.

A blatant sample of the loud voiced,

man took his seat in a bus and called
to the conductor:
“Does this bus go all the way?’
“Yes, sir.” responded the conductor
politely.
I want to get out there.”
“Yes, sir,” was the reply.
“Well, 1 want you to tell me when
we get there, You'd better stick a
stamp on your nose or put a straw in
your mouth or tie a knot In one of
your lips, so that you won't forget it.”

Fancy a man dying of thirst by the side
of a spring of sparkling water. Thousands
of thirsty people pass him quench their
thirst at the spring and go on their way re-

water will quench his thirss or not. He
never will know until he tries. Bot the
fact that the other thousands bave slaked
their thirst at spring is evidence enough.
