preston of opinion, to either ap>
prove or disapprove the resolu-
tions and return to the chairman

it being understood that their ac-
tion represented the position of

POOLING A FATHER BY PHONE

A good story is told of a young man who, besides being of the spendthrift order, is a splendid mimic. and can initiate his fathers voice to a nicety. Not long ago the young man wanted without delay some money to pay ? bill, and he knew that his father would treat request for the same with cola contempt.
 Waiting till he knew that his father would be away, he went to the te,e- phone call room and rang up the of flee, calling for the cashier. The cash fer was forthcoming, and when he was at the other end the young man imi- tated his sire's voice.
 ''I say, Blank, if that scapegrace of a son of mine comes around and asks for 92O don't give it to him. Only give him 910'
 The cashier promised that he would fulfill the commands. Not long after the son called at the office and de- manded 820. He was refused by the conscientious cashier, and, apparently in anger, the young. man eontented himself with G10. When the old man reached the office there was a scene.- Weekly Telegraph.
