WHY IS A BANK?
The Young German Who Asked
This Now a Millionaire.
Chicago TimesHerald.

A young German immigrant, who
had not dollar in the world and no
relatives, friends, or acquaintance in
America, worked his way westward
from New York until he reached Il
small town in Ohio, where he secured
a position as clerk in a flour and feed
store and went to work. In almost
an incredibly short time he learned
the English language and had mas
tered the few details of the business
in which he was engaged.
One day he walked into another feed
store few blocks away, said that he
had heard that the proprietor of the
place desired to sell out, and inquired
the price. The feed dealer wanted ST.
500 cash. After few inquiries the
caller said: "All right will call to-
morrow at 10 and veil go over to the
bank and get the money for YOU"
No one knew anything about the
young German. The feed store man
who wanted to sell jumped to the con-
clusion that the prospective pur-
chaser must have brought consider
able money from Germany. The
next day, promptly on time, the Ger
man called to take possession. "Come
on" he said, "ve'll 60 right over to
the bank now and get the money"
Together they entered the bank.
The German approached the cashiers
window, Introduced himself and said :
"Dis is Mr.. Jones, who keeps the
feed store on Main street. / hat
bought out his place for 81, 500 and We
hat called to get the money"
al beg your pardon" replied the
cashier, "but you have no account
here, have your
You don't understand" earnestly
remarked the German. al don't want
an account at all; / want only the
money"
"But you have no money in this
bank" explained the official.
"Ofcourse not" assented the caller.
"If had money l would pay dis
man myself. But / haven't any money
at all, so l must come to you and get
it,"
"But We can't let you have money
unless you first give it to U.S."
Then why is this bank" ex-
citedly demanded the would-be-bor.
rover.
The colloquy which ensucd waxed
so loud that the President of the bank
came out of his private Office to see
what was the matter. He took the
young German in hand personally.
The latter told the banker all about
himself and his aims, and in less than
half hour the bank had loaned him
81 500 and held a first mortgage on a
feed store owned by the happiest
young foreigner in America.
That occurred many years ago, it is
true, but that young German to-day
is the head of corporation capital
lied for $4,000, 600, and his name, if
were to give it here, would be recog-
nized instantly as one of the leading
business men of this country.

All they could see of the baronet
was a cloud of dust, with a halo of
tobacco smoke over it. They got
scared and let out their wheels to a
dangerous speed, but couldn't get
near him, and he disappeared around
bend. The inventor timidly sug-
gested that the switch may have got
out of order, and then they were
scared.
The switch had broken off. The
baronet found himself astride his
hobby and gaining momentum every
moment. His recollections of that
whilwind ride are far from definite as
yet, and his physicians will not let
him talk of it. What his friends
know has been eked out gradually
and is judged from the terrific state of
the country through which the baro-
net careencd. The whole country was
excited as it never had been before.
The party fastened on a. fast as
they could 60. Country people lined
up along the road, jcered and whistled
at them, yelling:
"Git q move on. Ye're gettin'
beat"
From which they inferred that their
friend was still going.

An Englishman at dinner once told a
tale of a tiger he had shot which meas.
ured "a feet from snout to tail-tip.
Everyone was astonished. but no one
ventured to insinuate a doubt of the
truth of the story. Presently a Scotch
man told his tale. He had once caught

knowing how to do it, and unless n
feels sure this knowledge Is her own
she had better not attempt it The
materials most sought after for even
ing wear are silks and satins brocaded
in large floral designs, although plain
silk and satin are not passe by any man-
uer of means. II one must count the
cost, however, brocaded material Il the
thing to buy, for owing to its rich sur
face very little trimming Is required.
AS / mentioned in a former letter the
favorite color this winter is yellow IN
a lovely soft tone becoming TO both
blondes and br1nettea. Yellow and
green combined is the idol Of the hour.
This combination sounds rather daring
and outre, does 1t not2 But let me as
sure you it has quite a contrary effect
for IL the two shades are chosen with
discretion and tastefully combined
nothing could be more effective. For
instance. an extremely lovely evening
gown made of custard-colored bro
caded satin had the front breadth OF
the rather narrow skirt slashed its full
length to show beneath an underskirt
Of dark olive green velvet yelled under
creamtinted chiffon, laid in plaits and
finished at the hem by a full ruche Of
the same. The very short and very
much-putfed panniers were lined with
green and caught up at either side IN
the u~uaintest manner imaginable by
three tiny jeweIed buttons. The bodice
showed an entirely new feature in tho
sharply pointed fronts which were
opened to the waist line showing .
dainty chiffon chemisette which
opened in turn I'VE an inner one made
Of green silk, thickly strewn with iew-
els, while the all-conquering little
bolero of green velvet was edged about
with jeweled embroidery and lace.
Another altogether charming combine
ton is cream-tinted satin and cherry
colored velvet in a rich warm tone, and
this fancy is most prettily carried out
in the very fetching model shown in the
picture.
AT first glance it might seem that the
ball and party dresses of the hour were
only possible for the very rich, but a
greater mistake could hardly be made,
There never wa a time when twas less
difficult to remodel old evening gowns
TO be sure, skirts do not hang quite the
same this year as last, but last years
skirt can be easily altered; and if the
material be old and worn, fashion says,
hide it under soft folds Of chiffon. and
if this work is carefully done such
frock will pass muster before the criti'
cal eye Of our best friend. For the girl
on a limited allowance, and who un-
