It Wiu’t Mack la Ble Bat the Valaeot It AstoaUhe* the Het( Clerk. A quiet-dooking, smooth-shavec man, with a straw hat poshed back from his forehead, registered from an adjoining parish at the Grunewald one evening and laid a package oii the counter. The package was about the size of an unabridged dictionary and was wrapped up in an old newspaper that bore the stains of travel. It was tied with, a piece of white cotton string. “I wish you would take care of this little bundle for me overnight," said the stranger. “All right, sir,” replied the clerk,"and, reaching for the receipt book, proceeded to fill out a blank. “What’s the value?” he asked, mechanically. “Sixty-five thousand dollars,” an swered the smooth-shaven man in an offhanded tone. “What!" gasped the clerk, his pen averted in midair and his eyes as round as cart wheels. “Sixty-five thousand,” repeated the guest; “and, by the way, I guess I’ll just seal up that wrapping. It seems about to fall on." He opened the paper and disclosed a rectangular block of $lO bills, pecked as tight as sardines. Theye were nearly all well worn, but nevertheless the grimy mass looked strongly tempting. Its tremendous potentiality drove, a spur into the imagination of the dullest chap in the corridor, and everybody began to tell what he would do if he were rich. Meanwhile the smooth-shaven man readjusted the cover, secured it with wax, pocketed his receipt and walked off. He was a country banker bringing a deposit to his local correspondent.—N. O.

No other line affords such facilities for through travel between the East and the West as this wonderful four-track system. In the possession of the Grand Central Station, located in the heart of New York City, and within trifling distances of all first-class hotels, this railway offers greateradvantages than competing lines. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, it has attractions irresistible. The great Northern Wilderness, the playground of the State, now beckons its thousands. As autumn falls, America’s scenic masterpiece, far-famed. Niagara, will claim its annual host of-pil-grims with its majestic power, the fierce turmoil of the Whirlpool and all tjie picturesque surroundings, the awesome Cave of the Winds and several other minor attractions of the vicinity. And when winter comes, then the entire scene transformed to-, what seems a fairyland of marvelous frost dressings, of icy forts and snowy palaces; of gleaming crystal prison, barriers vainly striving to bind the roaring; foaming plunge of water—will present a spectacle of mysterious beauty which is not duplicated in the world.—Outing. RecegilHl 111 Own Tablecloth. The head of one of the largest dry goodshouses in Chicago noticed one day recently in passing through his linen department a particularly beautiful table cloth.
