Rough Lessons TO a Bank De
Toronto lCanadal Nah.


A practical lesson was taught to a
bank depositor a few days ago in the
Queen street branch OF the Dominion
Bank. 1t appears that he called to
deposit about $4,000 dollars, which he
laid on the counter, and then turned
around to speak to an acquaintance.
On again facing the counter the money
was gone, and CONSERVATION reigned
supreme. The depositor accused a
painter, who was at work near the
counter, of abstracting the money, and
threatened to call in a constable if il
we're not at once given up. While
proceeding to carry out his threat he
happened to look toward the counter,
and to his amazement he saw the
missing package ofmoney lying in the
exact spot where it was laid. One Of
the bank officials explained the mys-
terry by stating that on entering the
Office from a back room and seeing the
money so ~carelessly displayed, he
picked it up and carried it away to
teach the depositor a lesson to be more
careful in the future, and then quietly
returned it. An apology was rendered
the accused painter, and all unpleas-
antness was removed.
