An Odd Deposition.


The cashier of a thriving hank in a
'olg western town was doing the. talk
ing.
When l began my career in the
banking business" he said, ut was in
an old established bank i'm AN Ohio
Acity to which my father had been
Selected president. We Didn't live in
"ehe town until his election, aanl rmoved
there when he took charge. After
'about six months experience Il was
made assistant receiving teller, and be-
tween that and my youth, and the fact
%that my father was president, Il guess
Il was about four sizes too large for
@the earth. But I got over 1T, and cone
day when there was a hull and the re-
'celVlng teller had gone across the
street to look after a check that he
mad" taken popped up To THE ewfndow
and took my first lesson. "A rough
iook1ng old fellow came that I thought
was farmer from Haywille. He came
straight for me, and said he wanted
TO deposit some money. ut wasn't my
business to undertake a new customer,
but thought I knew it ALL and began
TO talk to him. He said that HE wanted
to deposit cent that day, but had
more. Well, gave min the ha iha
then and there, and told him to run
around to the Dime Savings bank and
become deposition on the installment
plan. I also said some more funny
things, and after I had had all the fun
there was, he said that while he wish
Led to deposit only cent that day. he
would put in two cents next day. and
four next, and so on for four weeks
i gave him the laugh again, and told
him we really couldn't do small bust
ness like that, and he must 'be a good
boy and run along to the penny ante
bank around the corner. Then he went
away, and 1 was still laughing when
the receiving teller came hack.
I told him what was making me
smile, and he looked at me kind of
funny, thought, and went to figuring
on sheet of paper without further
comment. Presently he handed the
paper over to me. That old fellow
heesaid, is millionaire, whose bust:
ness we have been after for a year.
Those figures will show you that what
you cconsider is penny ante bank
business would have amounted to
something over $4,000 in the four
weeks or "a banking days, during
which'he wished to deposit his money.
Hes a crank, but he's got the cash, all
Che same, and we want him. Just what
effect your able funny business has
had upon him can't say, but suppose
you go and talk to your father about
1T, @or do you want me to report it to
the cashier and let him see the
president?'
II had "eold chills and collapse and
a Tot more things during the next five
minutes, and then mustered up cour-
age and went to my father with the
story. He promptly reduced me to the
ranks and cut my salary 10 per cent,
and I learned "a whole lot in the next
six months, by which time we had the
old fellow all right, and I was made
assistant again, but I wasn't the same
kind of one by a good deal"

Three Prayers.
An infant in it's cradle spelt,
And in its sleep it smiled
And one by one three women kne1t !
To kiss the fair-hatred child:
And each thought Of the days to
And breathed prayer, half-silent~
H 4W.
One poured her love on many lives,
But knew loves toll and care;
Its burdens oft had been to her
A heavy weight to bear;
She stopped and murmured lGsy-
ingly,
Mot burdened hands, dear child,
for thee"
One had mot known the buudened
hands,
But knew the empty heart;
AT life's banquet she had set
An unfah guest apart;
"Oh, not" she whispered tgnderly
IAN empty heart, dear child, for
thee"
And one was old; she had known
care,
She had known loneliness;
'She knew God leads us by mo irash
HIS presence cannot bless;
She smiled and murmurea. TRUST
fully:
Gods will, dear child, Gods will
for thee!" 49,.

school, as terms could not be agreed

of the representatives from the uni

Ought to Retain the Philippines, the
academy taking the affirmative side.
The contest will take place in the Salt
