A savings bank -is never a very - cheerful place. To one smiling young 1 matro,' putting 'a,side the proverbial I nest egg,'' or, still more, smiling a young mother depositing in trust for the first baby, there are ten sad-fae ed women in black, many of them rwith widows' veils. / - This was especially true recently a when the panic sent anxious' deposi - tors by the hundre~ds to draw out 'ill savinzs, and it w. s fore especially refershing to see in. that crowding som'bre line not ''Lola e from Berlin,'' but Marguerita from Italy,. a trim, bright-eyed little wo 7 man with a searlet* handkerchief - around -her neck and her uncovered, - glossy, 'blackr locks puffed and braid - ed and curled as if for an inaugura - tion ball. i .She waited patiently-eveni oheer - fully-,as slowly foot by foot ap proached the paying teller's des.k, but it was 2 o'clock before her turn came. She began to look weary, but she gave the wearier man 'behind the -window a confiding smile as she e handed him her bank book and said: S:"I want it all.'' SHe glanced at the book and count ed out $312 in one-dollar bills. - "That mine!'' gasped the little a woman. e The teller nodded. o She fingered the bills, looking more L, puzzled. The woman behind her was e almost crying with impatience. The line swayed as if it had been a row e of 'bricks and some -one ihad hit the a last brick in the row. Still Marguer r it'a folded and unfolded the bills; she - had all the repose' of her native land.. L. 'You sure?'' she said at last. e ''You sure these tall mine?'' e "All yours,'' the man answered - laconically.

Attached to one of the field par ties of the geological survey during the past summer was a young tollege student who could draw a very nice watercolor sketch of the various strata of the earth right through the centre, but whose practical applica tion of his book learning was more or less defective. One evening he came to the chief of the party in a state of high excitement. "I have found a most remarkable stone," he declared; "Something that will create a sensation. It is as round as a barrel and just that shape, and must have rolled for ages in the bed of some swift stream. It is un like any roek in this vicinity so must have come a vast distance-probably in some mighty iceberg-but as there are mountains to the west it may have come down in a glacier!" It was agreed that the entire party hould inspect the find the first thing the following morning. Accordingly they followed the young man for a ile, and at last reached the myste rious stone, which was standing on nd in a fence corner. About hat time an old farmer came along, and "'Do you know anything about this strange stone'?" he asked. '.'Stone'?" the farmer said, a twinkle coming into his eyes. "Waal, as. Fact is. that was a bar'l o' ce ent that was left out here in the ain for two or three winters, and the bar '1 staves has dropped off.' '-Har per's Weekly.
