private telegram to his stenographer;
and, taking out some. change to pay for
the message, dropped a penny on. the
floor.
Johnson" he said, 'sjust find that
cent 1.
johnson searched diligently, but the
coin refused to be found. s T
IF you can't find it never mind. Get
that telegram off and send Robert
here" Z
Robert, one Of the banks messen-
gers, came in, and was told to find the
cent. He got nnder the desk, and re-
moving the thick fur rug, made a
search after the missing coin without
success.

tily, 'get light.
A candle was brought, and after a
third attempt the penny was discovered
and was handed to the president, who
dropped it into his pocket without a
word. ,Just.then a customer came in
"Ah, good morning, Mr.. Jones'" said
the president. ":Will l renew your
Observation-Disclosures loan at the same
rate and time as before?'' -: =

keeper, after poking among the papers
a few times, II can't bother with such

walked off.
