PAYING TELLER'S LAPSE. '
He an# Several Other* Falls#
Ante »n Absurd Error.
Batiks fire notoriously careful
•crutinlztog the signatures to
on which they pay out money, yet, »3
the following Incident well Illustrates,
Jt Is possible for even the moat care-
ful and experienced of paying
to make mistakes, The incident is the
more remarkable because It reveals a
most curious error on the part of &
promtoent business man as well as an
astonishing lapse to the case of a usn-
^Jiy accurate and scrupulously exact
bank official.
Among the depositors at one of th«
largest banks in the city is an old and
prominent firm which may he called,
for the purposes of this relation,
Aloyslus JeUklns & Co. All checks is.
aued by the flrut are signed in person
by Aloyslus Jenkins, its Load, no that
assTSSui*.. o«“
cerg at whose bank he has deposited
for twenty year3 or more.
During the first week of this month
Jtfr- Jenkins got notice from the bank
that a Chock signed for $1,800 In his
handwriting, but signed Ajoystua
gniith & Go,, had been paid by tho
bank during the previous month and
the sum paid out charged against his
account, Aloyslus Jenkins was f>er-
feetly certain that he had never made
such a foolish wlstuke as that. lie
pent over for the check. It needed on-
ly a glance to show him that he had
written It and the signature really was
Aloyslus Smith & Co. He called up
the people to whom the check was
payable and whose Indorsement was
on Its back. They had not noticed the
mistake at all. It had passed through
the hands of their cashier and of oth-
jpr employees nnd had been by them
sent to the bank, where It had been
credited to their account without ques¬
tion. passing the sharp eyes of the pay¬
ing teller and only being discovered by
accident nearly thirty days afterward.
Six or more experienced nnd expert
business men had let that absurd mis¬
take get by without detecting It. It
was almost beyond belief. The only
more ridiculous thing about It all was
tho fact thut he had mlssigned his own
firm name. By referring to his letter
book for the day the check was dated
he discovered that he had been busy
Just then in closing up an important
deal With a wail named Smith. That
Was the only possible explanation for
his Plip. He has had the canceled
check framed, aud It now hangs lu his
Office ns a reminder that “to err is hm
man” even in the best trained circles,—

Whan Onion* Arc Ojprleu,
How many times has every flat
dweller onterod Ids home only to cry
out in disgust because the odor of the
onion or the turnip or something else
has permeated the entire sl3* or seven
rooms?
“Let’s stop having such things for
dinnerbe suggests to his wife, “Why,
It’s mortifytog to invite a friend to
dine when op* knows this sort of at¬
mosphere Is going to knock him down
As soon as bo enters the door.”
As a matter of fact, there is no need
for excluding the onion or the other Of'
fending eatables. The simplest way In
tho world to solve the difficulty Is this;
Have the cook put into the cooking
vessel with your onions Juat a piece of
stale bread about as big as your fist,
Somehow or other the bread absorbs
the odors, and you don't know onions
gre on your menu until you sit down
at the table.—New York Times,
Before Red After.

A Frank Comment.
Housekeepers will appreciate this
little story of Dean Stanley: During a
Visit to America, not long before bis
death, he was invited to dlue With a
certain college president In a southern
town. Early In the meal the dean In-
quired of his hostess: “Mrs. G-,
would it be impertinent to ask what Is
this gumbo soup?” “Perhaps I can
best answer," was the amused reply,
“by telling you I-ady A—'« comment
on the dish when she dined with us
once on a time, She leaned across the
table and called to her husbaud; ‘You
would better try the soup. It’s uot
nearly so nasty as it looks!'" "Ah!”
said the dean, smiling, “that was ex-
actly like I.ady A-. She is a cousin
of miner'—Harper's Bazar,

Zoological XomcctotHre,
The buffalo to the L’ultod States is
states is a ruffed grouse; the rabbit,
so plentiful iu the market at times, is
a hare. Both species of grouse, the
ruffed and the piuuuted, ure called
pheasant, partridge and patrlge, ami
the pinnated grouse is universally re-
ferred to as the prairie chicken. Prai-
rle chicken is not a bad name for the
pinnated grouse, for it is original and
does not confound it with other birds,
but It is not right to use the names
partridge and pheasant when referring
to our grouse, for these are the cor-
r«d names of European specimens,

THE LAW IN KOREA.
fiut>pr Ways of pacitbiss the Relfr-
Ure* of frlciBaU,
Angus Hamilton in his book on Ko¬
rea says: “The inhabitants are pecul¬
iarly proficient i» the art of doing
nothing gracefully. There are. there-
fore, infinite charm and variety in the
daily life of Korea, The natives take
their pleasures passively, and their
constitutional incapacity makes it up-
pear as ir there were little to do but
to indulge to » gentle stroll iu the toil-
llant sunshine or to sit cross leggel
within the shades of their houses. In-
action becomes theto. Nothing could
he more unsuited to the character of
their peculiar costume than vigorous
movement. The stolid dignity of their
appearance nyd their stately demeanor
add vastly to the pleturcsqneness of
the street scenes. The white coated.
white trousered, white socked, slowly
Striding population Is Irresistibly fa*-
dilating to the eye.”
Here are some of the punishments
prescribed by Korean law: Treason,
toiiu—Decapitated, together with male
relatives to the fifth degree. Mother,
wife and daughter poisoned or reduced
to slavery. Treason, woman—Poisoned.
Murder, man—Decapitated Wife pol-
soned. Murder, woman—Strangled or
poisoned. Anon, man—Strangled or
b° lsoQod - Wife potooned. Arson, wo-
man—Poisoned. Theft, man—Stran-
sled, decapitated or banished, Wife
capitated, together with wale relatives
daughter poisoned. Counterfeiting-
Strangulation or decapitation. Wife
poisoned.
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
The Vuiuquh l'»«e of J,e»*rqae* o#
the krona Mall,
The most famous of ail eases of mis
taken identity is that of I.esurques,
charged with the robbery and murder
of the courier of the Lyons mail, which
has been so vividly brought home to us
through the dramatic play based upon
it, Lesurques was positively identified
as a wan who had traveled by the uml!
coach, and he was to due course cou-
victed. Yet at the eleventh hour a
woman came into court nnd declared
his iunoccuce, swearing that the wlt-
nesses had mistaken him for another.
Duboscq, whom he greatly resembled,
she was the confidant of one of the
gang who had planned and carried out
tbo robbery, But her testimony, ah
though corroborated by other eonfed
eratos, was rejected, and I.esurques re-
ceivefi seutence of death, I^surques
22 ’ssr^isrsj: s:
boacq was captured. In the interval
others of the gang had passed through
the touida of the police, but the prime
mover was ouly now taken. Even
then he twice escaped from prison
When fiualiy he was put on his trial
and the Judge ordered a fair wig, such
as Lesurques had worn, to be placed
on his head, the strange likeness was
Immediately apparent. He denied his
guilt, but was convicted and guillo-
tlned. Thus two men suffered for one
offense.
