A ShREWD DEVICE.
There Was n Time when Banking In Ar
kansas Was Rather Exciting.


Banking In the northern part of Arl,an-
sas was n hazardous business in the carly
days. and I'm some of the towns where
there are no railway connections IL is so
still.
"Whcn we borrowed money for our
hank. " said banker to Il representative
of The FREQ Press with whom he was talk
ing over old times, 81 used TO go to the
neighboring town and get the gold. Then
| had to carry il by stage over the moitn-
tans to our place. OF course ! took
mighty good care that no ono should
know, if J could help 1t, just when was
to make these trips. | also Kept it as secret
as possible what my reasons were for GO
ing to the other town, talking about mort
cages, investments, business matters and
everything except transporting gold.
Z" At first | would take the bag of gold,
just as 1t was given me in the bank, put il
on the seat of the stage, place rug over
1t and use it for n pillow, endeuvoring to
snatch n little sleep during that long night
ride. One day somehow got nervous. ]
guess it was that mysterious sixth sense
some people talk about that worried me.
Anyhow ! was just trembling all over
when l thought of the journey and the
gold. l never felt the least bit apprehen
sivc before So / went to the groccr's and
bought bag of flour, poured out portion
Of the contents and put the lag of gold
well into the center of the bag of flour.
"Thc stage ratified off, and used my
| bag of flour for pillow. l dozed off a bit
l guess, and was rudely awakened by the
horses being jerked up, The next moment
we-thcre were two other passengers
! heard that dreaded command:
Hands upn
owe didn't hesitate, and up went oul
arms. They went through us all and got
| several dollars and "a couple of watches
| Then they examined the grips and looked
at the bag. | tremblcd as they opened il
and the flour poured out. To my joy, they
did not examine the bag further. Finally
| they departed, and tied up the bag with
| feelings of profound gratitude, for had
| they taken the gold l would have beer
| financially ruined
You've lost some of your -four mis-
ter, said one of the passengers.
Eyes, l said, but they left the mos
valuable flour in the bag
"And truly they left 1000 in coin
| That was the nearest l came to going un
der in the early banking days. But for my
unaccOuntabls nervousness, caused by
premonition or whatever you may call it
which led to the little device of the floul
bag, the robbers would have reaped an un
expected harvest. detroit Free Press.

Mr. Goslington's Youngster.

1.-THE youngster is liable at any time OF
night" said Mr.. Goslington, "to wake up
and ask what time it is 1 don't know
why it is so, but so far as my observation
extends all very young children are great
ly interested in knowing the time of night,
and the later it is the more interested they
are. Midnight seems tremendously late TO
them, and or o'clock a strange and I'M
pressive time. They seem to feel that it is
an experience simply to be awake at that
unearthly hour. New York Sun.
