MAN NEEDS A rplsp HAND.

When nature gave us two hands she
gave us all that was wanted at me

ture has remained stationary, says a
writer in Pearsors Magazine. We have
the trolley car TO take us down town.
We carry with US hat (Which blows
Off when there is a slight breeze. and
Is ruined BY shower Of rain). an UNI
brella TO protect the hat. and n small
black bag containing papers. On our
way back We have in addition in an
other bag piece of fish which we have
purchased In the market and are TAX

tnese impediments, we attempt 20

AT first sight II would appear that

the rail, another hand 10 secure the hat,
another hand TO hold the black bag and
another TO hold the fish bag. But this
liz not so In practice. One hand can
satisfactorily account for black bag,
an umbrella and fish basket. The
trouble begins when we try To hold on
the hat with the same hand with which
We are gripping on to the rail. And in
the case of the two-handed man this
happens every day. As at present con-
structed. we lose our hat or our bal

A certified check case has just been
decided I'm New York by Justice Mead
am OF the Supreme Court which will be
sure to attract attention. The decision
was i'm a suit by W. Rankin against the
Colonial Bank. The court holds that
the certification OF a check by bank
simply holds the bank for the moneys of
the drawer i'm the hands of the bank
at the time the certiflcation is made'
The Mail and Express gives some de-
tails Of this as follows:
THE suit was brought. to recover
$500. for which the plaintiff had, on
January hast. presented a certified
check drawn in his favor by William
Lpkin, his agent.
"The check was returned as not good
Rankin then went TO the Colonial
Bank and asked about the condition OF
Lipkn's account. Lipkin had just de-
posted some money. and Rankin was
told that he had enough money. He
asked the teller II he would certify the
check IL he brought II and was told
that he would. Rankin then went away
and got another check from Lipkin for
sl6l7.03. went 10 the Colonial Bank, at
Eighty-thlrd street, and had that check
certified. The teller at the 104th street
Office. at which Rankin had been
first. certified the $500 check. in igno-
rance of the certification at the Eighty
third street branch. which had made
Lipkin's account short"
