HIS SOUND FINANCIAL ADVICE.
Pat Had Better Scheme Than Making
Run on the Bank.

The comedy Of life is always merci.
fully near t.! tragedy, and even bank
runs produce an occasionally funny
bit.
Recently, when Wall street was
filled nearly all day with a surging
crowd trying to get to the teller's
window in a trust company there,
two waterside characters appeared
from the direction of the East river.
They pushed their way up the street
and wondered much at the strainIng
crowds. They could not understand
1t and nobody seemed to have time
to enlighten them till they came to
friendly patrolman. To him they
applied for information in this wise:
"Phwat's all the row about?"
Bank rum" said he.
"Phwat's that?"
1.-THE people are afraid the bank
will close up before they get their
money out. There Is a lot Of trouble
with the banks and the people think
1t Is safer to get their cash."
"Oh, yis, I seen somethin' about
that in the papers"
We'll, that's the answer: That's
what they are trying to do"
And how do they do it?"
"They write a check for the amount
of their money in the bank and give
1t to the teller. and he pays them the
cash."
That's cashing a check, isn't it,"
Yes, that's right"
Sure, know what check is. Had
one or two myself. But why do they
go to the banks when they think they
may close up? A bank at this time is
no place to go to, sure. Why don't
they go to a saloon and get it cashed
there? That's where I always had
mine cAshed."

WOMEN IN THE STOCK MARKET.
Wall Street Brokers Have Private
Rooms for Fair Patrons.

The number of women spectators
IS amazingly large--much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but It is a fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rooms for their women customers,
with more often than not, private en-.
frances. There are several reasons
for this. One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, without
the knowledge Of their family, their
relatives or their friends. On this &C.
count they desire privacy, desire to
move and have their Wall street be-
Ing unknown. Another reason is that
the broker himself desires 1t, princi
pally, be 1t confessed, because he is
anxious that IL there be any scenes
they shall be private ones, "far from
the maddening crowds ignoble strife"
end sight. For truth compels t&s
statement that women are poorer los
ers than men. It Is the testimony Of
conservative brokers that q woman
gambler is much more Of q gambler
than q man-much more; that Is, in
absorbing teuacfousness and almost
vindictiveness She seems to be car.
ried out of and beyond herself to de.
gree that becomes uncomfortably dis.
qufeting when she loses. Even when
she is a winner, and, ~ / have said
the proportion Of winners to losers
among women is about one to twenty.
there seems to, be in her satisfaction
kind OF fnsliciousness that is not
good to sss.-World To-Day.
