Satirical Banking Rules.
The folowing rules are recommended j
| to the attention of those who do busi- j
ness at banks. By not following them, '
: they will be the means of saving a
great deal of time and annoyance: I
j If you have any business with a '
, bank, put it off" until 3:30 o'clock, or,
| if possible, a little later, as it looks
I more business-like to rush in just as i
I the bank is closing.
In depositing money try to get it up-!
| side down and wrong end foremost in i
order that the teller may have a little j
j exercise in straightening it out before I
; counting.
It is best not to take your bank-book
I with you but call another time to have 1
the entry made. You can thus make (
two trips to the banks where one would j
suffice.
If a cheek is made payable to your
order, be careful not to endorse it be
fore handing it to the teller but let birn .
return it to you and wait while you
endorse it..This helps to pass the time
and is a pleasure and relief to the teller.
Never keep any record when your
note falls due then; censure the bank
officials when the note is protested.
Always date your checks ahead, it
is a never failing sign that you keep a '
good balance in bank, or if you do not:
wish it generally known that you are
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY. MARCH 13, 1902.
doing a good business, do not deposit
money until your check will bo in
When you make a deposit, do not
use a deposit slip but mix bills and
cheeks indiscriminately together since
it facilitates matters hugely.
A strict observance of the foregoing
rules will make your accounts desir
able for any bank and will make you a
general favorite with all the bank offi
cers.
A Japanese Superstition.
Writing exhaustively of dragon fllee
Lafcadio Ileum says in his book, "A
Japanese Miscellany," of '"the dragon
fly of the dead:"
"Unlike the equally weird name
"yurei-tombo, or 'ghost dragon fly,' the
term shroal-tombo does not refer to
the appearance of the insect, but to
the strange belief that certain dragon
flios are ridden by the dead, used as
winged steeds.
"From tho morning of the thirteenth
to the midnight of the llfteenth day of
the old seventh month—the time of the
festival of the Boil—the dragon fli<-s
are said to carry the hotoke-sama, the
august spirits of the ancestors, who
then revisit their former homes. There
fore. during lisi' Buddhist All Souls'
children are forbidden to molest any
dragon tiles, espc-ialiy dragon llies
that may happen to enter the family
dwell ing.
"This supposed relation of dragon
flies t i the supernatural world helps to
exiihii:' an old folk saying, still current
in some provinces, to the effect that the
child who catches dragon llies will
never 'obtain knowledge.' "
llo>v FriMlrrlck Stoppoil Puding;.
When Frederick the Great ascended
the Prussian throne, fatal duels among
otiieers were of daily occurrence. lie
resolved to put an end to the practice,
and he did—for a time; as long as he
reigned, in fact. He issued an edict
that any officer fighting a duel and
surviving would l>e shot or hanged.
Two officers appealed to him to be
allowed to try to slay each other.
Granted on two conditions, that he (the
king) should chose the ground and he
present at the encounter. Accepted.
Frederick chose the ground, attended
the "meet" and took his seat behind
the line new gibbet lie hud erected in
honor of the occasion. The combatants
. approached his majesty, saw the gib
bet, became puzzled and embarrassed.
"What may this mean, your gracious
majesty?" they ventured to ask.
"It means this."was the suave reply—
"that the man who survives will be
hanged as high as Ifaman on that gib
bet."
There was no duel.—Pall Mall Ga
zette.
People Who Dill Not Kill.
I The inhabitants of tho Canary is
j lands, the Guanches, were, it is sup-
I posed, but the mountain shepherds of
a submerged world. Though so strong
! physically, the Guanches were never
| thelcss a very gentle nj?e. They rare
ly made war on one another, and when
I the Europeans fell into their hands
i they did not kill them, but sent them
jto tend sheep in tin? mountains. So
| tame were the birds In this happy land
i that when the Spaniards first landed
| they came and fed out of their hands.
| To kill an animal degraded a man.
The butcher v.-as a reprieved criminal
and outcast and lived apart, he and
' his assistants being supported by the
i state. No woman was allowed to ap
j proach tin- shambles, and in such lior
j ror was killing held by these giants
' that no man could lie ennobled until
| he had publicly declared that he had
j not been guilty of killing any animal,
j not even a goat. Their standard of
j morality was high. Robbery was al
| most unknown among them.
Matcrnul I.OVP of tlie Wliale.
| No other member of the animal king
: dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially if its calf is
j harpooned. The harpooner neverthrows
his harpoon into the little one with the
j the Intention of killing It, for If this Is
l done the mother will Instantly forsake
I It. If alive and struggling, however,
the dam can be easily enticed toward
j the boat to meet Its fate. Knowing
j this, the whale fishermen always strike
I a calf if possible and thus often make
! captures that could not be effected un
j der other circumstances.
[ As soon as the dam becomes aware
j of the snaring of her young she rushes
i toward it, encourages it to swim away
| and even assists it by taking it under
her tin. She seems to lose all regard
for her own safety and boldly attacks
| the boat containing the whalemen or
circles about it totally regardless of
the harpoons that are hurled at her and
I enter her llesh.

Ln Grippe Quickly Cured,
'■ln the winter of 1898 and 189'J I
was taken down with a severe attack of
what is called La Grippe," says F. L.
Howctt, a prominent druggist of Win
field, 111. "The only medicine I used
was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It broke up the cold and
stopped the coughing like magic, and I
have never since been troubled with
Grippe." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
can always bo depended upon to break up
a severe cold and ward off any threatened
attack of pneumonia, ft is pleasant to
take, too, which makes it the most de
sirable and one of the most popular pre
parations in use lor these ailments. For
sale by L. Taggart.
It is a mighty mean man who is not
delighted when annoyed by his baby.

stipation of the bowels. A dose or two
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets will correct these disorders and
cure the headache. Sold by L. Taggart.
