Occasionally old banks discover in
their possession money and gems which
have been forgotten. y London bank
of many years standing has just
found u box containing money and
valuables which had not been opened
or called for in 100 years and for which
there is no claimant. There is no other
recorded instance of a package held
in trust remaining 80 long unexam-
ined.
Some years ago the Merchants Ma
tional bank of Baltimore discovered a
box containing $4,000 in bonds of the
Pennsylvania railroad, the ownership
of which could not at first be traced.
The coupons for the preceding fifteen
years were still attached. 1t was fin
ally discovered that the bonds be-
longed to the Hagerstown Md.) bank
and had been deposited IA collateral.
The president of the Hagerstown bank
died, the cashier was superseded and
the institution lost all traces of the
transaction. The disappearance of the
securities, however. always remained
an unpleasant mystery until 1t was
thus happily cleared up.
In one of the private banking houses
of Frankfort, during the first half OF
the century, box containing a large
sum of money and securities was de-
posted for safe keeping. and when
called for n few days afterward could
not be found. The banker himself re-
ceived it, and, as he supposed, put 1t
in Il place of security. He was 50 over
come by the occurrence that he went
home and shot himself. The next day
the treasure turned up safe and sound.

absence of mind been stored away in

Every one who has ever been a

entailed by being sent TO bed early
that conviction that you are being de-
prived of the most interesting part Of

reason IL must be very interesting, or
why would they he in such IA hurry to
get the youngsters out of the way?
With some children this amounts to
more than mere feeling They like
grown-ups. are divided into two dis
tinct species. There are those who
wake up in the morning wound up
good and tight, and who MS the day
goes on, run down until by candle
light they are all tired and sleepy and
good for nothing. and there are those
who in the morning wake up all dull
and inanimate and good for nothing,
but who wind up tighter and tighter
as the day goes on until candlelight
finds them at concert pitch and ready
for anything. For this latter sort, for
whom the day does not begin until 1t
ends. going to bed early is II positive
