figure is erect and his step is elastic.
When he walks he leans a trifle for

the little that remains, is white. The
top of his head is bald; there is lit
tie hair on each side. Hi head Is un-
usually large, and is narrower at the
front than the rear. His ears are big.

When the depositor comes back 10

thumb print on the slip and presents
1t az the teller's window. The teller
