upon for directions that they fall into
the habit of giving them in hurried

~ they are frequently misunderstood.
The usual formula when a stranger is
called upon to sign his name is: Sign
there-pen and ink at your left hand"
One day not long ago stranger en-
tered one of the large banks and asked
for certificate of deposit for. a
considerable roll of money which
he handed over. The clerk count
ed the money, found the amount
to be as stated, and hurriedly
said: Sign there, sir-pen and
ink at your left hand" II appeared
to the clerk that ii took the stranger a
long time to sign his name, but he
thought nothing more of it and issued
the certificate of deposit. About
week later the same man reappeared
and presented the certificate, AS the
clerk sees so many faces each day he
did not remember this man when he
asked him to sign hisname. He dashed
off an ornate signature which the
clerk proceeded to compare with the
first sis nature. The two were vastly

And every breeze that passes
Shakes out jeweled rain,
While birds a.wiug
