Humorous Department. Fatal Mistake.?The lady bather had gotten into a hole and she could not swim. Nor could the young man on the end of the pier; but when she came up for the first time and he caught sight of her face, he could shriek, ar.d he did. He shrieked: "Help!" A burly fisherman sauntered to his side. "'Wot's up?" he asked. "There!" hoarsely cried the young man. "My wife! Drowning! I can't swim! A hundred dollars for you if yon can save her." ' In a moment the burly fisherman was in the sea. In another he was out of it. with the rescued lady bather. Thanking his lucky stars, he approached the young man again. "Well, what about the hundred bones?" he asked. Hut if the young man's face had been ashen gray before, now it was dead white, as ho gazed upon the features of the recovered dame. "Y-c-s, I know!" he gasped. "Rut when I made the offer I thought it was my wife who was drowning; and now ?now it turns out to be my wife's mother!" The burly fisherman pulled a long face. "Just my luck," he muttered, thrusting his hand into his trouscr's pocket. 'How much do I owe you?"?Chicago Daily News. Too Slow.?A negro lad had been brought into a Virginia police court for the fifth time charged- with stealin? chickens. The magistrate deter mined to appeal to the boy's father. "See here," said his honor, "this boy of yours has been in court so many times charged with chicken-stealing that I'm quite tired of seeing him here." "I don't blame you, jedge," said the parent, "an' I'se tired of seein' him here as you is." "Then, why don't you teach him how to act? Show him the right way and he won't be coming here." "I has showed him de right way," said the father, "but he jest don't seen to have no talent for learning how, jedge; he always gets caught."? Lawyer and Banker. Saving His Face.?A recent writer on the old time merchant marine says that the first steamship to visit China was the Jamesina from Bombay. When she entered the Canton river, and in accordance with old time cus torn naa ta?cn on ncr v.mnw* ... l.intin she resumed her course, procecding under steam against wind and tide. The pilot showed no curiosity and asked n<^ questions. Soon in a perfectly matter-of-course manner ho began to give occasional directions to the helmsman?such directions as he would have given if the Jamesina had been a sailing vessel. That was too mu*.h for the British captain, and he called the pilot's attention to the fact that the ship was propelled not b> wind but by steam. "Oh," replied the Chinese cooly. "It Is a method that is no secret in sonte parts of the empire; it was common onee. but it has now for some time fallen into disuse!" His Luck.?The fan indicated a passing man. "That fellow Bibbs must have been born with a horeshoe in his mouth," he said. "Lucky, is he?" "Lucky! Why, listen. He decided he'd have to have a front tooth pulled. it was hurting him so. but lie only lir.d one dollar and wanted to go t<> the bnll panic. dn his way to the dentist's ho passed the ball park, and a foul came over the fence, hit hiin in the month and knocked out hi:; acliinp tdo'h. Then he turned in the ball at the gate, was passed in to see the panic and finally went home with his dollar sti'l in his pocket." Her Handicap.--It all happened in the kindergarten. The diminutive Katherine, despite the pleadings of her teacher, persistently lagged during the march that opened up the proceedings. Finally teacher called Katherine to her side. "Katherine cleat," she said, "can't you keep up with the music and the little boy in front of you?" "Vfssmn. sew haincniic, ?nu .1 beaming it rid obliging smile. "I can. l?t:t my ne w j ho? s can't."

In other words the gowninrnt must have sotne control over the membership of the board, or the board might put into effect iwdicios which wotdd be totally nnattnned to tbp general policy of the administration. It might be well to have the secretary of the treasury and the comptroller of the currency as members of tlm hoard, and the governor appointed by the president irrespective of the locality from whence he comes.
