Major General Wesley Merritt is credited with being equal. if not su- perior. to any cavalry officer living Every officer and soldier who ever served under him loves him.

Isank Accounts.

When a man goes to a bank to open an account, the officers take 1t for granted that he knows how 10 draw checks and how to indorse them, how to make out a deposit slip and what to do with his bank book, but women who have never had a bank account must be coach cd, and still they make many errors which cause the bank people much trouble. It is not unusual for a woman to leave her signature as Mary Smith" and then sign her first check Mrs John Smith. When the check comes back to her marked mo account, she rushes to the bank and usually tells the off ceTs that they should have known that the check was all right.
 One error of that kind generally cures customer, but there are oth- CT mistakes which are not so easily overcome Among these is the fail ure to write cheeks with pen and ink and to omit to write the amount of the check in figures in the place set apart for that purpose. But over drafts, said bank official, give us tue most work. The women over draw their accounts because they keep no record of their cheeks, and the story of the woman who came 10 the bank 10 remonstrate because her check had been returned branded No funds, and who said that there must be money to her credit because she had not used half of her checks, was no exaggeration New York Tribune.
