KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. T.
One happy day, years and years
ago, when the National Bank of
Commerce was in little old build
ing on North Delaware street, a
man opened an account. 1t wasn't
much. but enough to let him write
an occasional check and keep
folks guessing about how much
money he really had, as some
great and good men do to this day,
be it known. After a while some
thing happened, no one knows
what. The man quit writing
checks, although he still had
few dollars outside the red ink
section. None of the tellers ever
saw him again. Finally it was de-
cided that the man must have for
gotten all about his account, for
he never called nor wrote nor sent
his pass book. The clerks couldn't
do a thing except go right on put
ting down the balance twice a
year, in July and January. 1t got
to be quite mystery after year
or two, for the money, like the
little peach in the orchard, grew
and grew. No one knew what to
do with it, so they just kept 1t and
let it grow.
Everybody in Kansas City
knows how the Commerce moved
around from one place to another
on Delaware street and then to the
New York Life building. and
finally to Tenth and Walnut
streets. The fire came and the
temporary suspension, and the
new building and the reorganiza-
ton and all that, and through 1t
all that little forgotten bank ac-
count was there, somewhere. draw
ing interest And what do you
think happened few days ago?
Someone showed up at the bank
with check for $421 signed by
the man. SO many changes had
been made in the books and the
clerical staff that the mysterious
account couldn't be found until
hours and hours afterward. But
1t was found In a ledger ~ years
old, and when the clerks figured
1t up the principal and the interest
amounted to the amount OF the
check the man had drawn. So, you
see, he hadn't forgotten 1t at all,
not for minute; he was just let.
ting 1t grow.
But they're not all that kind.
All banks have few uncaleld for
balances. In some states, notably
New York. the. law requires the
officers to advertise accounts after
they have had them four years. If
they're not claimed then the state
gets them and turns them into

The Ohio woman has no vote on
this question, but far more effec-
tive than her one vote, il she had
it, are the many votes she influ-
ences.
In one of the closely contested
towns women placed in the most
prominent store window two dolls,
one radiant in paint and gorgeous
in a silk gown and jewels, and the
other forlorn. with hopeless coun-
tenance, and cheap, well worn
Bingham.
The first doll held in her hand a
placard inscribed: II am the daugh-
ter of a man who sells Il.
The other pathetically held out
one with the words: 81 am the
daughter of a man who drinks it."
At one of TIE great meetings a
mother mounted the platform with
babe in her arms and asked per-
mission to speak. This being
granted her, she announced in a
voice broken by sobs that her two
boys, though still in their teens,
had taken to drink. The oldest is
now in the state reform school. She
told of the change the liquor and
low companionship had rapidly
made in both of them-from obedi-
ence to disobedience, from kind
ness to cruelty from helpfulness to
a source of nightly worry and daily
burden.
She paused for moment to re-
press her sobs, that were echoed
from many parts OF the audience;
then hugging her babe close to her
heart, she cried:
But my baby girl is still as pure
as the snow. l must keep her pure.
as an anchor for my drunken boys.
| must keep her pure for wifehood
and for motherhood. I read of

sake. help me to save my girl from
this. My boys can give to the sa-
looms, and bear it, l can see them

say the saloons must CO."
In her intense earnestness her
own eyes had dried. But they were
about the only dry eyes in the hall
The women of the churches, old
and young, disregarding denomina
tional lines, organized and got
busy.
A belle of one Of the counties had
three determined suitors, She
called them together and frankly
said to them You are all fine
fellows, each In his own way. But
my husband must be a man clean
through--a man who can do things
worth while. Now, the one that can
bring me proof that he has won
most votes against the saloons Is
the one | will marry"
The winner marshalled 1923 votes
and proved that he had changed
them from wet to dry. Neither of
the other two secured less than so.
And the plurality in the county was
less than 200. A big wedding is
due In that quiet old country town.
