Lesson to Bankers.

The Jewell County (Kansas) Republican tells a little story in illustration of the circumspection with which country bankers must handle their customers. A Kansas banker lost patience with the “dribble-drabble” business of a man who caused the bank a lot of trouble in bookkeeping, and the cashier told the man that his account was not desirable. In a little while the man died, leaving a large sum in life insurance, which was deposited by the wife in a rival bank. And a little later still she married the best customer the first bank had, and induced him to remove his deposit. And the lesson is that all banks should treat us kindly, for there is no telling how soon we may leave a lot of vengeful widows to deposit the l.fe Insurance elsewhere marry away the bank's best customers.
