While a woman was waiting to de-
posit five dollars in a New England
savings bank she saw a man draw out
mine hundred dollars. She had never
before seen so much money at once.
and concluded that the bank could not
stand such a heavy drain on its re-
sources. She told her friends about It.
and the news spread that the bank
was in danger. A run" followed, and
the depositors were not satisfied that
the bank was sound until between ten
and twenty thousand dollars had been
withdrawn. The men who read this
paragraph need not say that the thing
would not have happened If it had not
been for a silly woman. Full-grown
men, with years OF business expert
