The Bank Director as a Bluff.

1t is more in sorrow than in an
ger that l contemplate that prize
product of the period of the pyra-
mids, the bank director. He is one
of the ancients, with moss on his
back so long you could comb it out
with the old family rake. But don't
do it. You will disturb the dodos
doing in it.
The bank director is a mark who
has been carefully picked for the
position. He has been candled, like
an egg, to see if he will do. Do
what? Why, what the bank presi-
dent tells him to.
A bank director is not always
necessarily chosen because he has
money and knows how to take care
of tiff he looks like it he will
do. White whiskered, bald-headed
ones with little black string neck
ties can get an engagement any
time. In the rural regions the neck
tie preferably is omitted, as it
shows the old buck is a self-made
man and therefore worth two of
the other kind on the letterhead of
the concern. The public gapes,
vastly impressed, at the galaxy of
virtue and business acumen, little
realizing that the bunch is about
all in as regards human activities
and are under the thumb of presi-
dent who Is the whole works.
At first the duties of the direct
ors are very onerous. The presi-
