PUTTING MONEY IN THE BANK
The Trouble Encountered by Il Young
Man Who Went to Put Away
His Savings.

Inertia, to which may be ascribed
the inability of many people to earn
vast sums of money, is one circum-
stance which deters people from put.
ting what money they have in the
savings bank. Inertia is assisted in it's
work of making spendthrifts by a
lumber of customs prevailing with
banks, so that, when one considers
how little momentum it takes to fol-
low a money spending course in the
city, the wonder is that anybody
saves anything at all, says the New
York Post.
A young man with resolution to
save took time from his working
hours not long ago to open an &C.
count in large bank which people
told him paid four per cent. yearly.
He would have liked to go in his leis-
ure hours, but he knew that savings
banks are open only during the hours
when everybody is hardest at work
He paid five cents TO ride on a street
car, and went mile out of his way
for the sole purpose of putting SIC
where somebody would see that he
did not spend it. When he reached
the bank it was quarter to ten
O'Clock, and he spent quarter of an
hour walking up and down the street
until the bank opened. On entering
the vault-like marble hallway, he was
confronted by fierce person in uni
form, who rushed diagonally across
| the floor to head him off, like a per.
son playing prisoners base. After
several questions asked by the uni
formed Cyclops in the same tone that
is used toward an office boy by bust
ness man who has two minutes tc
catch his train, the young man was
shown into a pew with several very
dirty male depositors, clutching bank
books. He sat here for ten minutes
and then went to window marked
deposits" and told a man with
sandy whiskers that he wanted tc
open an account.
'Have the money!" mumbled the
man into his sandy whiskers, ano
reached for cataloguing card. Eyes,
answered the young man. The man
said, supposedly, LET me have the
money! but he did not repeat it when
he saw that the younger man misun.
derstood. Instead he. sat gazing
YEARLY at the brass bars, then CUR.
gled something staccato and inartic.
ulate, and. having by this means OBJ
tanned the money, asked inquiringly
How much?"
The young man did not object tc
telling his name, his address, his
birthplace, the names of his father
and mother, and other data that the
bank chose to put on file, and consid.
cred himself fortunate that the same
genealogical survey was not to be
gone through with before every de-
posit.' He received a ticket from the
man behind the. window, and was
told to walk around the corridor and
stand in front of the green light
After three minutes he heard his
name and number called, he signed
MS name twice, and received finally a
bank book SO large that he could with
difficulty get it into his larges
pocket.

ITO Be Continued
Advice About Writing Stories.

In a letter about story-writing, sent
by Louisa M. Alcott to a. young. au-
thor in 1874, and now first published
in the Ladies' Home Journal, she
advises him to introduce his charac-
tiers at once, as that instantly inter-
ests readers, and says of her own
early work: "Instead of describing
places or people plunged into the
heart of my story and opened it with
a conversation, letting the actors un-
fold the plot and themselves dramat-
ically. From that time my goods sold
well, and this was the secret in, a
great measure. Learning to write
short IS another good thing; and the
art Of taking a very simple event or
character and making it true to- life
with the mixture of the comic and
pathetic that exists in what we call
human nature. Put your own expert
.ence into your tales and they can't
fail to be good" s==

Fatten Fowls by Force.

English poulterers now make use of
machinery for "cramming'' geese and
turkeys for the Christmas market.
At feeding time the ''fatter,'' as he is
called, wheels his examining machine
among the pens in which the unfor-
tunate birds are confined, takes out
each bird in turn, fits the feeding
tube eight inches down it's throat,
and with his foot pumps the crop
full, disengages the tube and puts
the bird back in the pen. The rapid
ity with which this is done by good
workman is wonderful to see. Birds
once artifcially fed will not again
take food naturally, and once the
"cramming" is commenced it has to
be kept up until the fowl is adjudged
full fat for the market, when his
neck is wrung and he, soon goes on
his way to the poulterer's.- chicago
