A New System of Banking by Mail 



A unique system of Banking by mail has been in- 

 stituted by The Putnam Trust Co. of Greenwich. 

 Conn., intended to afford a simple and safe method 

 bv which people living at a distance can carry on 

 interest accounts through the mails. The first and 

 subsequent 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 small 

 coupons are attached, and when the depo'^itor wish- 

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

 coupon, and niail certificate, with the coupon at- 

 tached, to the company. These certiticates are noi - 

 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 Trust 

 Company of New York, which can be cashed in any 

 place where there is a bank. Deposits and witji- 

 drawals are noted on the certificates, showing tbe 

 exact balance. For depositors in foreign coui tries 

 a bill of exchange is sent payable in the currency 

 of the country. The comi)any pays the usual four 

 per cent, interest ar.d its operations are safeguarded 

 bv the laws of the State of Connecticut.

Promoting Nature — Agriculture ! 



"Where I stayed last summer a green 

 hired man tried to kiss me. He said 

 he had never kissed a girl in his life, 



and " 



"What did you tell him?" 

 "I told him that I was no agricultural 

 experiment station." — The Country 

 Gentleman. 



Merciful Lessons from Nature! 



The teacher was hearing the class in 

 Nature. Trying to impress upon the 

 children's minds the horror of cruelty 

 to animals she told the following story : 



"Once a farmer went out to milk a 

 cow and a little calf switched the man 

 in the eye with its tail. The man took 

 out his knife and cut off the calf's tail. 

 Now, children, what verse in the Bible 

 should that man have remembered?" 



Of course she had reference to "Bless- 

 ed are the merciful," but Philip had an- 

 other answer : 



"What God hath joined together, let 

 no man put asunder."
