DISHONEST DEPOsITORs.
The HumOr and Pathos of the Savings Bank
in Great Cities.

Writing of the savings-banks and
their depositors in the February Cen
fury, Richard Boughton tells of tbs
embarrassment sometimes caused to
bank officials by dishonest patrons.
The great bulk of depositors, per-
haps 65 per cent, are Of the laboring
classes, the Weekly-wage earners;
then come the middle and well-to-do
class, say 80 per cent, and lastly the
very rich man and the criminal in
about eqpal proportions. By criminal
I do not mean to conflne this class to
bank burglars, check-forgers, and
bank-note counterfeiters-you will
see all of these if you watch the line
long enough-but include all of
those men and women who avoid po-
lice notice when they can, and are
occasionally wanted" down in Null
berry street; the rich keeper of the
fashionable gambling houen; the
woman who is suspected of knowing
the whereabouts of a vanished thief
or forger; the man who never breaks
into bank himself, but takes q
friendly and patronly interest in those
who do, and so on up and down the
scale Of cosmopolitan vice. At one
time or another they all have saving
bank accounts. 1t seems incompre-
hensible, but people of all these class
es are frequent, even permanent de-
positors. do not say this from hear
say, but have seen examples Of each
Of them lodging their money, even in
their own names.
What can we do with these people
when they come to deposit? It is not
criminal to save money, and you can
not arrest them. In some cases their
accounts are closed by the banks, and
they are told to take themselves Off
q hint upon which they promptly and
quietly act, possibly from fear Of the
police, accustomed as they are to obey
when told to move on
Some of them, however, are not
easily gotten rid of. A famous con-
ndence woman had her account in q
New York bank, and her quiet de-
meanor, amiable smile, innocent, al
most girlish timidity, quite won the
chief official in charge. He was ac-

from the somewhat rough crowd in
line, give her chair in the ante
room, and send her pass-book and
money by one of the clerks to the re-
ceiving teller. Her identity was f1n-
ally discovered through a police in
