ODD BANK VISITORS. CRANKS ARE ALMOST AS MUCH TO BE FEARED AS CROOKS. I'njlnn: Tellers Ilnve to Be Models of Vlgllnnce All the Time to Dodice the Schemes ami the Schemers That Lie In Wait For Them. Many are the uses aud the schemes that are devised for the purpose of beating tiie paying tellers in banks, aiwl the cranks 114*0 as much to be fear ed as the crooks. "That old man who lias just left the bonk," said the teller as he ran his lingers quickly over the new bills, "has been coming to this place every day for the past two years calling for mon ey. lie? comes in every morning exact ly at 11 o'clock and asks quietly if his check Ims arrived. I always have to tell him 110, and he thanks me graclous .ly and goes away. I was new at the bauk when lie came in the first time, but 1 saw at a glance that he had some thing the matter with his headgear. When he asked about his money, I told him that we hud nothing, and he look ed greatly surprised and worried. lie asked many other questions and then left. lie returned the next morning und the next, and lie lias been coming ever since. One day lie failed to show himself, and 1 thought lie had given up the hunt as a bad thing. For a month he "kept away, but by and by he bobbed tip serenely again. " 'l've been sick,' he said, 'and I hope I have not caused you any incon venieuce in holding my money. No money here? What? That is strange.' "With tliis he thanked me and went away, lie will be here again in the morning, and .he'll keep coming day after day until death sends liim to a bigger bank. The man is just a sample of what we get every day, although lie is the most regular chap of the kind I have ever seen. The boys around the bank feel rather superstitious now if he falls to come in, and I'll gamble that that black porter yonder will quit his job the very first time that old man fails to make his daily visit." The teller leaned 011 the counter, "Yes," he went 011, "it would surprise you to know how many people come here day after day to get money when they have absolutely no reason for coining. They have no papers on which money can lie secured, but they just come right along, hoping, I guess, that some day they will hit the bank. Now, last week a big fellow who had evi dently been drinking rushed in and yelled to me that lie wanted SI,OOO. I had never seen him before, and he made no pretense of handing up any papers. lie said he was In a big rush. I realized at once that he was crazy, and I acted quickly. Reaching back to my drawer, I put my hand 011 my revolver and waited. He did not see the weapon. 'The vault is closed,' I # said, 'and you cannot get any money today.' With that lie reached his hand to liis hip pocket, hut I did not move. 1 looked liini squarely in the eye and waited. lie stood there for 20 seconds, witli ids hand on his hip and his eyes 011 me, and then he cowed. Without a word he turned his back to ine and walked out. I tried to find out who the man was, hut failed, and he never came back to repeat the demand. "Another time I had a really danger ous crazy man to handle, but 1 acted like a Hash and possibly saved my skin. It was about 1 o'clock one sum mer day when the weather was stilling. The front and side doors were prop ped open to let in the breeze, and I was looking over the books when a big fellow ran in the front door scream ing. I looked up and saw liini flourish a butcher knife, which fairly glistened in the light. 'Where did lie go with that money?' he called at the top of his voice as lie halted and looked at me. 'Right out that door,' 1 said quick ly, and in a moment the man had dash ed through the door and went sailing down the alley. A policeman was cull ed, hut the mail was not seen after ward. I am sure I would have felt the edge of his dangerous knife if I had not sent him out that door. "Another strange tiling happened once while I was working as a clerk In another bank. I was standing by the teller's counter when a nicely dress ed young man came in, walking rather awkwardly. lie managed to reach the teller and presented a paper. 'Will you please cash this for me?' lie said. The teller took the paper mechanically and looked at the stranger. 'Why, this is no good,' lie said. 'This Is only a piece of white paper. What kind of a game are you trying to work?' The .man gasped. 'Why, it is a check,' lie called quickly. 'Not much,' said the teller, handing it hack. The man look ed at it. 'Good God!' he cried. 'Then 1 am blind!' They took him away, and he died at the hospital before he had a chance to explain. The doctors said it was a mystery, and the man's body was kept for six months. Filially it was sent to Kansas 011 the order of a woman who wired a description and said it was her son's."—New York Sun. Tle Itnnyu 11 Tree.

CHINESE PRONUNCIATION J Three Simple Union Tliat Will Help Von In the Tank. An acknowledged authority on the pronunciation o£ Chinese names as transliterated into Kngllsli assures us that there need be no serious difficulty In sounding the many Chinese names now appearing in the newspapers if the speaker will remember that the vowels in these names are uniformly those of the Italian or continental al phabet—namely: (1) a. always about as a In far; e, always approximately as e In they or then; i, very like I In machine or pin; o, as either the o of song or how, and u, always as the u of rule. (2) Also. It should be remem bered, every syllable has an independ ent value and should be given tlint value in pronunciation. (3) As for consonants, tliey are pronounced ex actly as written. These three rules will secure as correct a pronunciation of Chinese names as can be secured without oral instruction. For example, under the first rule one would say tahkoo for Taku, not take-you, as one may frequently hear flie word pronounced; lee hoong dialing for 1,1 Hung Chang, not lie hung cliang; pch-klng for Peking, not peek-In; slinhng-hnh-ee for Shanghai, not shanghlgh; tsoong-lee-ynlimen for tsung-li-yainen, not tsung lie y ay men, and so on. Under the second rule Tlen-tsln is pronounced teeyen tsinn, accenting the yen syllabic, not teen tsln. General Nieh's name is Nee yeli. The Chinese coin tael is not tale, but tali-ale, pronounced quickly. Yun nan fu Is yoon-nahn-foo, not yunan fll. 11l like manner all words are pro nounced with syllabic distinctness and with uniform vowel sound. Under the third rule the province name Szechun 11 Is sounded, not zekunn, hut nearly as zehchooahn, touching the choo very lightly; N'ganliwel as inggnlinghoo wayee, dropping the initial 1 sound, and the German possession Klau Chau is Keealioo ehalioo. However, without multiplying exam ples, the reader of news from the much troubled far cast will find his way through tlie many difficult names lie is to meet in his reading in the near fu ture with sufficient safety if lie will but observe the three simple rules here given for their correct pronunciation.— Boston Transcript. The Brencli of Promlnr Itrronl, Many records of different kinds have been broken of late, but it will take a longtime indeed to break the one that has Just been made by the Bavarian gentleman, Mr. Alois Frankcnlierg, re marks the New York Sun. His case came up the other day in the assizes court of Gratz, Austria, in which the testimony against him, the truth of which was admitted by himself, footed up a total of 12(1 cases of breaches of promises to marry. Young girls, old maids, widows, brunettes and blonds, fat and lean, long and short, all fig ured in his gigantic dossier. And yet bis mode of procedure was simple enough. After lie had spent a fortune of 100,000 marks leading a wild life in different countries he returned to Gratz penniless. Ills last resource lay in his good looks and winning ways. He put an advertisement in several papers invit ing Indies desiring to marry "a gentle man of fortune" to put themselves in communication with him. And they did. Ills bonnes fortunes were phenom enal. even though ills "fortune" was fictitious. In a short time he bad sweethearts galore, and, to buy furni ture for nice flats in tlieir castles In Spain, he obtained money from them. That is what brought him into trou ble. After sparking ail that was prof itably sparkable in Gratz he abandon ed his beloved ones in that town anil set up in business as a matrimonial merchant In Munich, where his success was still more extraordinary. Then lie returned to Gratz, where lie was de nounced. arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to Imprisonment for two years and six months with hard labor. Tile Old Time Shipbuilder.

Why is it that the wandering ily, Who might be happy in the gleam Of summer sun, prefers to die And thereby spoil the breakfast cream? Why does the hateful sparrow thrive While song birds into silence sink? Why does the paste brush still coutriv* Somehow to get into the ink? Why does it rain each holiday And shine throughout the toilsome week? Why does the freckle find its way Unerring to the fairest cheek? W r hy do the weeds displace the flowers? Why does a discord drown the song? In short, upon this world of ours, Oh, why does everything go wrong? —Masonic Standard. Ileal Riches. Men, creeds and nations die, but right lives on. Old customs fade and disappear from earth; The ages vanish, and new epochs dawn; New systems and new races come to birth, But through the wreck of empires that have gone There is no death to anything of worth. The cause of love, of justice and of truth Continues onward in immortal youth. There Is a power in beauty to outlast The death of states, the ravages of time. Go read the records of the distant past. Whose arc the lives that seem the most sublime! Not titled imbeciles of rank and caste, Not conquerors who lived by war and crime, But those who taught, who painted and who sung, Whose fame and works remain forever young. In ruins lie the temples of the Greek, And yet the muses from their sacred hill. With their sweet songs and melodies still seek Our hearts with the old power to touch and thrill. Demosthenes and Socrates yet speak, And Plato teaches, liomcr charms us still. Though Home has fallen, down the ages flow The words of Horace, Virgil, Cicero. A good thought in the world is like a spark That kindles in our souls a sacred Arc, That brightens lives which hitherto were dark, That cleanses hearts from lust and low desire. A noble, helpful sentence leaves its mark And teaches other spirits to aspire. 'Tis thus a light that triumphs over death Floods all the world from him of Nazareth. A word that's uttered, or a deed that's done To help the holy cause of liberty, In cherished recollections will live on Throughout the seasons that are yet to be. Though centuries since then have passed and gone, Men gaze enraptured on Therraopylrc, And so in coming ages hearts will thrill To hear of Gettysburg and Bunker Hill. Truth, love and beauty, liberty and right. These arc the real riches of mankind; Tbese are the priceless gems which render bright The inward, heavenly kingdom of the mind. Dome up, come up, my brothers, to the light And leave life's dross and baubles all behind. Seek ye the treasures that will help and bless And add to the world's good and happiness. fry —Denver News.

Out '.n the open country fields, With the green grass blowing merrily, The daisies nod, and the dewdrops shine, And the sunbeams dance right cheerily, A lassie and laddie come tripping along, Like the fair day smiling brightly; They pluck the flowers, and they hum a song As they shake oil the dewdrops lightly. The song tells how neither you nor I Nor any one else they know Has drunk the full cup of the Joy of the fleldi Where the daisies and buttercups grow. You may rise when the flowers open their eyes, You may bathe your feet in the dew, You may live as the children of nature live The whole long summer through. But there'll still be a secret of nature's own Beyond your human ken; It is known to the fairies who dwell In the grass, But is hid from the sons of men. Yet whenever together a lad and a lass Trip hand and haud through the fields, They fancy they drink with the elfin race All the sweetest that nature yields. Out in the full, free light of the sun, Where the green grass blowcth merrily, The lass and the lad go dancing by, Singing their songs right cheerily. —Mary Almee Goodman. A Prayer. Lord God, thou lettest the green things start A new life every year; Out of their Bunkcn selves they rise Erect and sweet and clear. Behold the lilies' pure white leaves Unfolding by each mcrel Again the sap mounts in the fir Through every swelling vein; Again the clover stirs and thrills Responsive to the rain; Again the tender grass makes green The lone breast of the plain. Hear the new, golden flood of song The lark pours to the blue I Behold the strong, undaunted shoot Tushing its brave front through The fallen tree I Lord God, Lord God, Let me begin anew! Out of my own self let me rise I For, God, if it can be, A new and noble growth may spring From yon decaying tree, Surely a strong, pure life may mount Out of this life of me. —Ella Iligginson.
