A WALL STREET EXPERIENCE The Would Be Depositor of Modest Means Found Himself In a Place For Millionaires—An Official's Courteous Explanation and Advice. “When,” said the man who writes pieces for magazines and things, “by some strange and unprecedented chance, I had got hold of a matter of $350 all at one and the same time it looked big to me. By an even more curious chance there wasn’t anything that I ready needed to do with the money, so I decided that I'd bank it. “Now, I knew in a general way that in order to put money in a bank you've got to be known and give your pedi gree and look respectable, and all that, and I hated to approach a bank with out any sort of credentials. Therefore I went to the business manager of a certain magazine which occasionally priiits pieces that I write and asked him what I'd better do. “‘Simplest thing in the world,’ said he. Til give you a note to our batik.' "That sounded fine to me. lie wrote me the note, and I started for the bank a good deal tickled over how easy the little depositing proceeding had been made. “The bank to which I had the note is in Wall street. I asked the uniformed man who was standing around where I’d find the receiving teller's window, and he pointed that window out to me. I got into line and watched the teller take in money. “I must own that I was a bit stalled to note the great size of some of the deposits he was receiving. Why, fel lows were giving the money to him by the satchelful. But I had my note in my pocket, and 1 remained complacent enough with that consciousness, “When I reached the receiving teller I passed in my note, ana the receiving teller, a decidedly civil young man. opened it and read it. Then he looked at me, after which he read the note again, this time with a sort of puzzled expression on his countenance. 1 didn’t see why the receiving teller should be puzzled over such a simple matter, but puzzled he seemed. He rang a bell, and the uniformed man wbo’d directed me to that window appeared. “ ‘Show' this gentleman to the office of the cashier,’ said the receiving teller to the uniformed man, at the same time regarding me with a pleasant smile, and the uniformed man led me down the passageway and took me behind a railing where there was a handsome gray haired gentleman sit ting at a desk. “The handsome gray haired gentle man received me cordially and invited me to be seated. 1 handed him my note, which the receiving teller had returned to me. and he leaned back in his chair and read it carefully. Then he. too, looked puzzled after he’d read the note a.second time. Then he look ed at me pleasantly over the tops of bis spectacles. “ ‘Ahem!' said the handsome pray haired gentleman, not disagreeably, but In a nice, banker-like way. ‘Might 1— er—inquire, Mr. Penphist. without seeming to he unduly inquisitive, as to how—er—large ,n—er—balance you would usually he carrying?' "Well, that was a civil enough ques tion, nothing inquisitive about it. “ ‘Why, sir.’ 1 said to the handsome gray haired gentleman, ‘I am opening an account with a matter of some SBSO. but I shall no doubt make some addi tions to that within the next two months, and probably I shall carry a balance of—well, say, SSOO or S6OO right along.’ “The kindly cashier with the gray hair fairly beamed upon me. “‘Er—just so. Just so.’ said he. twid dling his thumbs. ‘We fee! compli mented, Mr. Penphist. we really do. that you should have come to us. And it is unfortunate—er—ready unfortu Date, that we are so utterly lacking in facilities for taking care of accounts of such a character.’ “‘You see. Mr. Peupbish our institu tion is of—er—a sort of special charac ter. It is used as a depository by well. perhaps I should put it in a clearer manner. I say it to you quite in confidence, you understand, Mr. Pen phist but we have only 1,600 deposit ors on our books, and these 1.600 de positors’ aggregate balances amount all the time to a matter of $110,000,000.’ “Well, that was about enough. 1 saw the light then. I’d drifted into a millionaires’ bank on the careless cre dentials of a business manager who’d written me that note no doubt in a thoughtless mood. “The gray haired cashier acted bully about it. lie recommended a fine bank to me—‘one that combines perfect re sponsibility with the necessary facili ties for handling accounts like —er— youis, Mr. Penphist,’ he added. “For all of the cashier's niceness I walked out of there into the cold gTay light of Wall street feeling like a good deal of a human caterpillar. didn’t go to the bank recommended to me by The cashier: didn't have the nerve to visit any more banks Pvt got 81‘>2 left now of the $.“50. but I'm going to use that as a nest egg. and maybe some day even yet I’ll have a bank account.’’—New York Sun The universe is not rich enough to buy the vftte >l' an honest man.—Greg ory.
