“IN SAVINGS BANKS, |

ROMANCES WHERE ONE WOULD HARDLY EXPECT THEM.

a

Jateresting Nxperiences Told by Presi-

dents Instances of the Accumulating Powem of Interest—Elow a Depositor Was Rovbed by an Unprineipled Lawyer.

If one has the good hock to get several presidents of savings banks together and when they are through with talking bu.i- pess hear them exchange interesting ex- periences, he will have an enjoyable hour. Here are some of the things wich he wil! be likely to hear or might have hcard any time within the lest few years. Lmagine a group of presidents seated around a glow- ing sea coal fire in the luxurious office of ene of them. After the conversation has “became general,’’ as some of the novel writers say, Mr. A. discoursesto this effect:

“IT don’t Know whether any of the rest of you fave over had anything like this in your experience or not. I¢ is against the rules, of course, for our bank to take charge of the books of any of the deposit- ors, but I must plead guilty to violating the rule to @ certain extent myself. In one of the drawers in my desk for the last six or seven years I Rave kept the book of a woman who opened an account that long ago. As soon as she had done so she came to me and told me a moving tale of the eruelty of her husband, saying that he would give her no peace day or night if he knew she had put money ina bank. She was afraid to take the book home with her, as sho had no place to conceal] it where he eould not find it, and she didn’t want to

- tll any friend about what she was doing

“tnobeknownst,’ as she might have said. So she begged me, with tears in her eyes, to allow her to leave it with me, abd asa personal favor I consented to take charge of it. Every now and then she comes in here, asks for the book, takes it out to make her deposit and then returns it to me. .Her account now amounts to about $300. And I think I can say that I have @ever suffered from a pricking of con- sdience because of having winked at a vio- iation of a rule of the bank.”’

Mr. A. having been acquitted by the unanimous silence of his confreres, Presi- dent B. began to speak. ‘‘I don’t want to bore any of you who may have heard this before,’’ he remarked, ‘‘but it certainly was o singular eaperience. Some years ago a hardworking mechanic opened an ac- count in our bank, to which he added reg- ularly for some time, After that for a long period the account lay dermant, growing by the addition of the interest until it @mounted to abont $3,500. In some way an unscrupulous lawyer heard of it and after the manner ef his kind went to the mechanic with a plunsibte tale. ‘What will son give me,’ he asxed, ‘if I will prove to you that there is asum of several thou- sand dollars due you and put you in the way Of gotting the money?’ The mechanic was bDaturally astonished and was easily prevailed on by tho smooth tongued law- yer to sign a contract that if the lawyer could make out such a case as he said he could the money would be divided between

than. Thereupon the lawyer let out his ‘secret.’ ‘The money is due you,’ he said, ‘trom sach and such asavings bunk.’ ‘Oh,

I Enow all abont that,’ replied the me- chanic. ‘Ihave known all along that I had the money there.’ But the lawyer flaunted the contract in the man’s face, and, though it Was a plain case of fraud, the man be- lieved it was a valid contract and actually gave the scoundrel lawyer half the amount in the bank.’’

After a suitable interval President C. took up the taie. ‘‘I don’t know that I can do better,’’ he began, ‘‘than to tell a little story which I heard a few years ago from the president of one of the Brooklyn banks, and I shall try to tell it as nearly as pos- sible in his own words as I recall them. ‘As I was sitting in my office one day one of the youngamen in the bank enme fo inc —— —————__—-———

anu showed me a Nock. vwnich bore ot cnany years beiore. He suid it had been brought in by an old woman. I told him to send her tome. On inquiry I learned that she could neither read nor write, but she said the book helonged to her, and she had put the money in the bauka iong time before. As nearly as she could remem- ber, the amount was about 3200, and sev- eral times, pointing to the book, she asked anxiously if it was not all there. 1 assured

her that it was and proceeded to question /

her as to why she had left the account so long undisturbed. She said that many years before she had been employed as a servant in Brooklyn and had taken all she could spare from her wages and put the money in bank. After a time she went away from the city and had never set foot in it until that day. She was getting old and theught it would bea good thing to go and get her money. Again she asked if it was all there, indicating the book, and of course I told her it was all right, ex- cept the interest, a word that seemed to convey no idea to her mind. I became con- vinced that she was entitled to the money and told one of the clerks to write up the book just as though it had been an active account all the time. When his work was done, 1 found that the amount due the old woman was about $3,000. She was simply dazed and asked how it could be. I ex- plained as well as I could about the inter- est, but she was unable to understand it, Overcome by her feelings, she burst into tears when the money was brought to her. ‘Oh, sir,”’ she said, ‘‘you don’t know what you have done for me. I can’t understand at all how all that money belongs to me; but, do you know, I shan’t have to do another day’s work as longasI live.” I don’t think,’ said my Brooklyn friend in telling the story, ‘that I ever had a keener appreciation, of the benefits of savings banks than at that moment,’ and I fancy all of us would have said the same thing if we had been in his place.’’"—-New York Tribune. se!

Quick Beef Extract.

A quick way to make a strong beef ex- tract rather than tea for an invalid need- ing plenty of nourishment is by a process of searing and pressing. Raw, juicy beet is cut into pieces the size of a small egg. ‘These are put into a very hot skillet and quickly seared on ali sides. They are then rapidly taken off in a hot, deep dish and pressed firmly with a wooden spoon ord spatula to extract the juice, the meat be- ing often returned to the fire to continue its heat, and as often taken off to squeeze out more. A glass lemon squeezer may be used if preferred. The juice should be cerved very hot, slightly salted, and in a
