A New System of Banking by Mail 



A unique svstem of Banking by mail has been in- 

 stituted by The Putnam Trust Co. of Green\yich 

 Conn., intended to afford a simple and safe method 

 bv which people living at a distance can carry on 

 interest accounts through the mails. Ihe tirst and 

 sub'^equent deposits can be sent by check or a 

 money order with the depositor's signature and ad- 

 dress The company sends a certificate which looks 

 a good deal like a coupon bond. A number of siiiaU 

 coupons are attached, and when the depositor wish- 

 es to withdraw he can do so by simply filling out a 

 coupon, and mail certificate, with the coupon at- 

 tached, to the company. These certificates are non- 

 negotiable and cannot be used except by the person 

 who has the account. In return, a check is sent by 

 The Putnam Trust drawn on the Guaranty 1 rust 

 Company of New York, which can be cashed m any 

 place where there is a bank. Deposits and with- 

 drawals are noted on the certificates, showing tne 

 exact balance. For depositors in foreign countries 

 a bill of exchange is sent payable in the currency 

 of the country. The company pays the usual four 

 per cent, interest and its operations are safeguarded 

 by the laws of the State of Connecticut

Nature Needs More Words. 



The weather Bureau has sprung a new 

 one. It is the word "smog" and it means 

 smoke and fog. The bureau explains 

 that very frequently there are times when 

 this mixture is apparent in the atmos- 

 phere, and it considers the new word a 

 great little idea. 



Very well, "smog" let it be, says the 

 Kokomo Tribune. But why end there? 

 Let's call a mixture of snow and mud 

 "smud." A mixture of snow and soot 

 "snoot," and a mixture of snow and hail 

 "snail." Thus we might have a weather 

 forecast : 



"Snail today, turning to snoot tonight ; 

 tomorrow smoggy with smud." — Coun- 

 try Gentleman. 



When Two Fools Met. 



Dr. P. S. Henson once delivered his 

 lecture on "Fools" at the New York 

 Chautauqua. Introducing him, Bishop 

 Vincent said: "Ladies and gentlemen, 

 we are now to listen to a lecture on 'Fools' 

 by one — (and the audience broke into a 

 roar of laughter, and, after it had died 

 away, Bishop Vincent added) — "of the 

 most brilliant men in America." Dr. 

 Henson rose, and with a genial smile, 

 said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am not 

 so great a fool as Bishop Vincent" — (an- 

 other roar of laughter, after which the 

 speaker added) — "would have you be- 

 lieve."
