A CHEAP HOLIDAY.
An amusing story was told recently by Lord Incheape, who, in addition to his many other activities, is a director of the Bank of England. It concerns a certain landlady of a seaside board-ing-house who went into the branch, bank at the town where she lived and asked the manager to give her small English, change—"Fivers and things like that," she said—for a 25,000 rouble note, which she had been given in settlement of her bill by a Russian guest_ at her establishment on, the; morning of his departure. \ Tire than-1 ager, knowing her, took the trouble: to work it out. J "It's Is 4fd," he said. | "Good heavens !" She replied. "And the man stayed three weeks."
