the Methodist persuasion, officiated
one day at funeral at Auburndale,
and at the close had word of inquiry

A bank Official, who has many anus.
ing stories at his tongues end, tells of
stolid German woman who went into
the bank one morning to deposit fat
roll of bills, and open an account.

letter.
Suddenly she stopped, and after a
period of dismayed reflection looked
