OF course if this lady felt the matter
so keenly, she in a measure had a right
to relieve her mind when she took her
money out of the New York bank CON
corning the stability of which she had
heard disquieting reports. and it's a safe
proposition that she felt better after
wards. 1t seems that this particular
bank has two branches-one downtown
and one uptown. This woman had $685.
900 to her credit in the down town
branch. She went after it, and there
was some delay that caused her to laSe
her patience. She is an elderly woman.
and, with all due respect to the sex,
disposed to be bit peppery, not to say
cranky, at times when she gets wrought
up. The particular time when she went
after her money seemed one of her ras-
chile seasons, and she cut loose on the
paying teller as she was getting her
money, and before she was through she
let every officer and every employee of
that bank know her opinion of the whole
bunch. Then she took a cab, and she
gave an address to which she wished to
be driven. In that address lies the point
of the joke, and we will wager years
subscription to The Woman's National
Daily that after her storm of anger had
blown away she saw the joke herself
In a little while a telephone call came
TO that downtown bank and it was
from the uptown branch 1t was an
inquiry from the manager of the up
town branch as to whether such a per
son as this particular old lady was
known there. In reply the down town
manager told all about the scene that
had been enacted with the old lady hold
ing the center of the stage. Then came
the word from the uptown manager:
Yes, from what she has just been tell
ing us, she doesn't think very much OF
you fellows down there. but she seems
TO think we are all right, for she brought
this branch the money she took from
that branch. "-Woman's National Daily
