Helped Get washington's Dinner.

Frank Mitchell is one of the oldest
residents of the United States. He
came to Akron. o.. forty years ago
from Alabama. where he lived on the
estate of Nathaniel Pride.
Mr.. Mitchell claims to be los years of
age. Those who know him best say
that he looked nearly as old when he
came TO Akron as he does today.
When Mr.. Mitchell was just lad
upon the old plantation he well remem-
bers the trip of George Washington
through the south and how his master
expected that the general would pay a
visit to his plantation when he came
that way.
a big dinner was to be spread. and
In the preparation of this dinner Frank
Mitchell assisted. One of the tooth
some morsels consisted of chicken pie,
upon which the lad looked with very
wistful eye.
But George Washington passed over
another route, and the visit to the
plantation was not made. Mitchell
therefore had the pleasure of eating a
piece of the chicken pie which had been
prepared for the great general.-Cleve-

HIS BANK BALANCE
Professor Finally Found Out what
II Amounted To.

There is Il certain Professor II. who
is constitutionally hazy in regard to
his own financial affairs. For long
time lie had IN account at bank i'm
lower broadway. and. though he could
mention oiThand all the known resources
of any government OH the face of the
earth. he would have looked over his
spectacles in mild bewildermcnt if he
had been ASKED 10 state the amount of
his balance ut that bank ut any time.
OF course. he knew that il varied. but
he had II pleasant and secure kind of
feeling that it must always be a
pretty stable one. because he regularly
and religiously deposited his weekly
salary as soon as he received il, and
he never drew checks except when it
seemed necessary to do so.
The professor lives in Jersey City.
and for seven or eight years his wife
has been telling him that ii would be
much more convenient. since most OF
their dealings are with Jersey City
merchants. 10 have their account with
Jersey City bank. The other day the
professor got around to attend to the
matter. AS II preliminary he went over
to the Broadway bank to draw out his
balance there.
While he stood waiting, after telling
one of the clerks what he wanted, the
president of the bank. who also lives
in Jersey City and whose wife goes to
the same church the professors wife
attends. came up to him.
why. professor" he said cordially,
I'm sorry to hear that you are going
to leave u.s.
Il am leaving you with the greatest
regret" said the professor benignly.
but it is ar Inconvenience not TO have
q bank account in our home town. and
in order to open one there really need
the money | have deposited here"
"Of course, of course" the president
acquiesced. "a man cannot have his
money lying about in different banks.
Mr. Smith"-calling To clerk who was
passing-"arc you attending to Profess
or BIS matter? Are you getting his
balance for him?"
YES. sir" said the clerk politely 1T
will be ready for him in Il moment"
The two men convcrsed amiably
about the Rus.;o-Japanese war for
time. and presently the clerk APP
preached.
"IIere is your bank book. Professor
b." he said. land your balance.
think you will find il correct"
He tried 10 slip the money into the
professors hand in Il private kind Of
way. but the amount was plainly visi-
BILE not only to the professor. but to the
bank president. 1t was Sill.
The president with great tact hastily
asked the professor regarding the ex-
act location of Manchurian town
which the Japanese were reported to
be terrifying and which he had not
been able to locate on any map. The
professor absently pOcketed his bank
balance and forgot all about II in the
interest of the geographical discussion.
II was only when his wife asked him
that evening il he had gone to the bank
that he remembered to tell her of the
incident. and he was troubled to find
that she seemed much annoyed about
it.-Ncw York Tribune.
