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 

 by 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 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 Trust 

 Company of New York, which can be cashed in any 

 place where there is a bank. Deposits and with- 

 drawals are noted on the certificates, showing the 

 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 

 bv the laws of the State of Connecticut.

A Compromise. 



"Look here, Hiram," said Si, ''when 

 are you going to pay me that eight dollars 

 for pasturin' your heifer? I've had her 

 now for about ten weeks." 



"Why, Si, that critter ain't worth more 

 than ten dollars." 



"Well, suppose I keep her for what 

 you owe me?" 



"Not by a jugful! Tell you what I'll 

 do : you keep her two weeks more and 

 you can have her." — The New England 

 Farm. 



A botanist who makes a hobby of 

 cultivating native orchids lays special 

 emphasis on planting them in soil like 

 that of their native habitat. He relies 

 principally on moss, leaf mould, swamp 

 muck, pine needles and powdered char- 

 coal, and in special cases adds pounded 

 granite and coal ashes. 



To a Fountain. 



Oh jeweled fountain, leaping high, 



And flashing in the sun, 

 You frolic as the moments fly, 

 You gladden all the passers-by. 



Your day has just begun 



And yet how much you've done! 



— Emma Peirce.
