An athletic young man, who was on the way to get his marriage license, found himself at last in a room where, as a matter of fact, candidates for the police force were being examined. The moment he entered the room the surgeon said, "Strip!" "What's that?" said the astonished young fellow. "Get your clothes off," replied the surgeon. He did so and his chest measure. ment was taken. Next the surgeon said, "Jump k over this horizontal bar." He tried the leap, but fell to the ground. "Double up your knees," commanded the surgeon, "and touch the floor with your hands." Again he tried and failed. "Now run around the room ten times." The young man replied. "That I'll not. I'd rather remain single." "Single?" said the doctor. "Yes single. I'd like to know what I all this has to do with my getting my marriage license." And then the mistake as to the room was solved.?Rochester Herald. Your brain goes on a strike when you overload your stomach; both need blood to do business.

Young Lady in Greenwood Knocked Unconscious While Driving. Greenwood, July 19.?While drivwith her grandfather, Mr. Rhodes, on a trip to his home out in the county, Miss Addie Canfield, daughter of a well-known insurance man of this place, was badly injured by lightning this afternoon. The bolt struck the horse, killing it instantly, did considerable damage to the buggy and rendered Miss Canfield unconscious. Miss Canfield and her grandfather were about five miles from here in the neighborhood of Lace. Our New York Letter. It is not what a New York writer of items of interest should write * * > '1 !- l-.i? about, out wnere mere is so mucn 01 interest the question is what to leave out. Other communities eager for improvements, particularly industrial enterprises, this city already has a profusion and is surfeited. There never is any general rejoicing at the inauguration of new industries. Few people outside and not all inside this great city realize its magnitude. Five million souls crowded to-1 gether as here are calculated to make and keep things lively on a 2 by 10 mile tract of land. Every nationality is represented; all tongues are spoken, the various customs of the globe are practiced and no need to go abroad, for there is very little to be seen on the other side that cannot be seen here and much more from an enlightening, education, standpoint, a visit to the metropolis is invaluable. This does not mean the little hasty hurried trips for business or pleasure, but a stay of some weeks and a wise putting in of days of those weeks. The "skyscrapers," public buildings, churches, colleges, theatres, hotels, parks, mansions, business houses, factories, railways, tunnels, ate., are as a rule, ahead of the world. The museums of the city, risited by millions of people, offer objects of study unsurpassed in th?~ old world. After the good things* the bright, side, then the bad things, the darker side offers interest, food for thought to any human, especially students of human nature and poitical economists. It is to New York the good and bad of the world wends its way, once here much good becomes bad, some bad becomes good. The natives of the city study the city but little, it all strikes them as a natural course of events and they look neither to the right nor the left, bothering not their minds about these things. It is the visitor an^d the man raised elsewhere who is impressed and who delves into things here. It is amazing how little the average New Yorker knows of the rest of the world, surprising how much the outsider does know. The makeup of the men of the city is below the average, the country over, intellectually and otherwise, they as a rule run in a groove, get in it early and stay there. Exceptions there are, and these are men of broad mmas who tower above the average the country over. Strange but true these men of renown in business, professions, trades, etc., are all foreign born, not from foreign shores but have come into the city from outside the city. Scarcely a native notable is to be found. It is commonly commented that the Jews own New York and that the Irish run it, so the outsiders boss things generally and the natives work for or under them. In business life the merchant princes: Stewart, Macy, Wannamaker, Siegel, Altman, and others are all from the outside, it is so in the professions, So in all branches of life. The great editors of to-day, those of the past, all were outsiders. To New Yorkers it makes no difference. they don't care a snap, their sole desire and bent seems to be to exist, drift; local pride so prominent elsewhere has no place here. Why all these strange conditions, the only reason the writer can give is the density of the population in the past, the phenomenal increase of the present, the crowded, cramped quarters, all have to make their arena, more thought is given to elbowing one's way through the crowds existing, than aspiring to renown, fame and foremost place. The new man, the ousider, attracted by these conditions and the masses of people drops in with training impossible to get here, ideas among other scenes, grasps this situation at a glance and pitches in and uses the multitude to his personal advantage, as he would a drove of horses, having become a good driver before purchasing the steeds. The New York parents and children are as subservient servants of the outsider as the slaves of the South ever were and are tolerated by their masters far less than the slaves were by theirs. There is a field for study here, and the student of human nature cannbt find in the universe more to tackle than in Gotham. [ H. W. Finlayson. 450 Broadway, New York. Don't forget the cotton association meeting here the first Monday in August. Let us get together and build a warehouse. The legislature of Georgia is in the midst of a strong prohibition fight. The bill providing for prohibition for the State has passed the Senate, and the house now has the question up. A determined fight is being made against the bill by the minority, but is seems almost certain that the bill will pass. I WHEN HE j HUSTLED. | Hy Abbie F. *Ransom. | Copyrighted. 1907. by E. C. Part-ells. # ftivmvtumuuuuuvmtuHiQ She stood by the window watching the retreating figure of the young man. too much absorbed to notice the entrance of her father until he was by her side. Without speaking she leaned her arm upon his shoulder and thus they watched until the young man was no longer in sight. Then her father Rtioke: "It won't do, Elsie. You've got to tell him I said so. He isn't the one." The hand which had been caressing his hair was thrown out with indignant protest and the girl faced him, pained surprise in every curve of the dainty lips. "WTiat's wrong, father?" she den-tnded. Why haven't you said that before?" The gray eyes gazing into her own held far more kinddess than his words They were full of stern decision. "Because I haven't been sure. Now I am. Fred Denton can never support a wife. He isn't able to now, and he never will be. You've got to call it off." "But, father," she began. "Iffe no use, Elsie," he interrupted. "It isn't In him. A young man to succeed nowadays must get out and hustle, and that's something Fred Denton will never do. He spends his time in his office reading, reading, reading, and that never brought patieut to a doctor yet "Why, the other night there was an accident at Cedar Glens. Kensett was mixed up in it Had a drunken chauffeur, and the whole car came precious near going over the cliff. Would have gone if It hadn't been for a young med. who understood sprinting and who saved it in the nick of time. "As it was. Kensett got off with a broken collar bone, a friend of his came home with a smashed hand, and?well, you read it in the papers. That sawbones is fixed for life just because he happened to be on the spot and knew what to do and how to do It. But it wasn't Denton. He was in his office reading up the microbes of leprosy or some other outlandish disease." "Fred was just telling me," began Elsie, when her father cut her short. "Then, too, he had a little money In one of the banks. Where's that? He wasn't content to let it stay where it was. He asked me what I thought about Aurora stocks, and I told him they weren't worth the matches to burn 'em, but he invested in them. Where are they now? Whew! Now you see 'em and now you don't" "Father, if you would only listen"? "Listen to what? The same old story of love in a flat and your $500 a year? I've got a deal on hand and won't be home before tomorrow night. In the meantime you just give me that ring on your finger and I'll return it to Fred Denton, M. D." Slowly his daughter drew off the ring, a curious expression growing in her eyes, one which her father was quick to observe. "See here, Elsie," he said as he took it from her. "I want you to promise that if he calls you won't see him until I give you permission; that is, if IJ ever do." J "You are very unjust, father; if you would only listen"? "I've waited too long already," he responded, starting off. "Mind your promise, Elsie; there isn't to be any more of this nonsense." "Perhaps there'll be more instead of I less," she murmured as the door closed behind him. Then she went up the stairs to her room with a tread as full of decision as his tones had been. It didn't take long for her to reap pear dressed for the street, and nrteen minutes later she surprised a certain young man who was very busily engaged doing nothing at all in a pleasantly furnished office of a downtown business block. "He wouldn't give me a chance to say a single word," she concluded indignantly. Fred Denton smiled complacently into her flushed face. There was no trace of the despondent lover about him. "We won't try to explain," he said. "Suppose you take this trip to New York with me this morning? You look very bride-y," he answered. "White dress, white hat, white shoes and gloves. Really, Elsie, one would almost believe that you had dressed purposely for a wedding trip." "Fred Denton, you don't believe"? she paused, crimson to the very ears. Then she added Irrelevantly: "Father ran away with mother; I've heard him tell about it time and time again." "Come on," Denton cried. "It doesn't seem right, Fred. Father has always been the kindest, the best father in existence, and he is doing this Just because he loves me." "That's just the reason we're doing what we are," was his ready response. "Come, dear, we haven't a moment to lose. You go to the Wilson avenue station and take the train from there, while I'll trolley it to Woodlawn and get on board at that place. Then no one will see us together until after we leave the city and we are all O. K." A ten minutes' wait for the New York express is a time altogether inadequate for repentance and home going. Besides? there was the danger of discovery, and no one of Elsie Kingston's makeup ever flinched when danger was In the air. Then there was her ticket to buy, her seat to secure and the ten minutes had come and gone before she thought ?-* .v. of looking lor friend or foe in that crowded railway car. At Woodlawn station she saw Fred Denton swing himself upon the plat- i form of the smoker, but the city streets were far behind them, and the train was speeding fast through the country meadows before he joined her. When he did. he held in his hand a lirtle circlet of gold whose center held a very familiar diamond. Slipping into the | seat beside her, he said: "Better put this upon your finger. It's been away from its place too long already." "Why, Fred," she gasped, "where did you get that?" "Your father handed It to me a few moments ago." "Father! Where Is he? Where did you see him?" "tJa'o honv thprp fn the Rmoker." he replied nonchalantly. "He gave it to me just after the train left Woodlawn." Her face went white. "What did you say?" "Nothing. I was passing through the car on my way to you when he hailed me and said in the pleasantest tone imaginable: 'Mr. Denton, I promised my daughter to give you this package. There isn't to be any answer.' I took it from him, with an 'All right,' and came on into the next car, sitting where I knew he could see me from his seat. Then I waited awhile and hunted you up." "He told me this morning he was ?' A a# flora going away lur u wu^ic v*. uu; a. Tears were very near her eyes. "Oh, Fred, if he should see us and try to make a scene! What will we do?" "See here, little girl," said Denton tenderly, "you've got your engagement ring back again, haven't you? Now, In the course of three or four hours I Intend to supplement that with a plain gold band. Don't you worry. Aurora stocks may have gone up In hot air, but I didn't. Your father wants you to marry a hustler. Now, you Just watch me deliver the goods when he calls for them." "First call for dinner! First call for dinner!" cried the porter on his way to the smoker. "Shall we go now," Denton asked, "or do you prefer waiting a little?" "Father always likes an early dln! ner," she answered, "and he'll be sure I to pass through here very soon. There won't be so many In the dining car. J Let's go now." They found a vacant table In the far end of the dining ear and seated themselves there. Scarcely had their order been served when Kingston entered. Elsie, raising her eyes, saw him standing in the aisle, and she gave a little sigh, which made Denton look quickly around. A moment more, and he was by their table. "I will sit here," he said to the waltj er. "Bring my plate to this table." ! When they were alone he spoke again, this time to his daughter. "Is this the way you .keep promises?' "You did not ask me to promise not to meet Fred," she answered, "so just after you left I went to his office." "Then what?" he asked. "Then," said Fred, before Elsie could speak, "I asked Elsie to take this trip with me, and she consented." "Huh!" grunted Kingston. "A wedding trip, I presume." "Hardly that," responded Denton, "ae Tin* vpt Wp Inst ex pect to be when we reach New York." "Then what?" The question was asked in a tone which made Elsie quiver. "Nothing much," Denton answered coolly, "only Aurora stocks brought me In a neat three thousand more than I put Into them, and yesterday I secured a position as house physician In the Woodlawn sanitarium, and thafs good for a couple of thousand' a year." "What's that?" asked Kingston sharply. "You see, Kensett Is one of the most influential men connected with that institution, and the little service I was fortunate enough to render the night that drunken chauffeur tried to kill him brought me the place. I've worked for It for three months, but that clinched It, sure." "I thought that was a fellow by the name of Lent," growled Kingston. "That's what the papers said. I AOfA wK/itSnr r?Q 1 IAH TYIA U1UU k vaiu nucuigi uuvj Lent or Easter so long as I got the place and Elsie with it" "Why didn't you keep me from making a fool of myself?" her father demanded, turning to his daughter with a well affected semblance of wrath. For answer she rested her elbows upon the table, her chin In her hands, and gazed fixedly into his eyes for an instant; then she said earnestly: "You are improving, father. I was afraid you might lay the blame for that defect in your constitution upon the Lord. Most people do." Three hours later In the parlor of the Little Church Around the Corner the bride was given away by her father. The Intruder. A Washington man was temng Borne one of the trials of his wife, an excellent housekeeper, with reference to the servant problem. Just about the time the mistress would get a new girl broken to the ways of the household and she would bid fair to become a model servant she would decamp or enter the service of a neighbor. One of | these, a Mrs. B., had incurred the especial enmity of the first woman, for she had lately taken two servants from Mrs. Brown. One night Brown was aroused from his slumbers by queer sounds In the kitchen. "Burglars!" he hoarsely whispered In the ear of his spouse as he prepared to tumble out of bed and proceed downstairs. "Edward," calmly observed the wife, "I'd give anything to possess your optimistic nature. Always looking on the bright side. I'll wager anything it's that odious B. woman trying to get Mary away from me." | Be Busir The Check System is the ! like method of paying you And one of the best ways keep from spending a lot o all you get in the bank anc little while you'll be surpris Bring Your \lon?
