One Way to Step a Bank Run The story is going around New ' u'?-YoHc banking cUcte*?ofra *> ** ^run'ithat faiied in so unexpected a manner that it is one_al_ the best counting room Jokes of the season, although the story may, lflce all good yarns, be as old as mother-in-law allusions. It happened in the South. At least, so the Southern bank president who seems to have introduced the story in New York, is reported to have said. Long lines of frightened Negro depositors were crowding before the doors at opening time. The bank had plenty of cash ready for them, having . just received from its city correspondent a shipment, included in wl\j>ch sjvas $60,000 in silver dollars, probably sent on the good old theory that silyer both slows up the pay?" merits to the depositors and gives them a bulky burden that cannot be -?carried or hidden any too eaaily. ? The - cashier luuked at?the silver and then at the 'bank's base-burner stove, and then be had an inapira tion. Held nmkeu It hot for these -boys. ?"Get ? told lhe~ fcclist,. "Get;,thosc cartwheels as hot a* you can and quick as you can. There was a fire in the old base-burner in the back of the bank, for it -was winter. Yellow pine sticks were fed to the stove until it flowed. The silver dollars got hotter and hotte'. The cr<xwd at the door got bigger end bigger. "We'll give that dahk cloud a silver lining that it will remember," mused the cashier as he oipened the door. While the first Negro stood at the teller's window, rocking nervously from one foot to the otheY, the cashier slid the hot pieces across "the shelf to count them, and then pushed the double handful to the waiting depositor. The du^ky laborer grabbed them hungrily. The Negro's eye* popped open as he felt the sizzling metal. Negro, trying to shift the coins from one?hand to tho?other without spilling any. 44H-ah-ah-ah-t money!" He dropped a handful of coins andN the crowd scrambled out of line to grab them, and feel them. "You! De's makin' dis money right in de back! Dis yere bank ain' never goin' ter bustl .Hcre, Mr. Man, take it. When ah c'n h b it like dat, ah don' wan' it." He pushed what was icrt oi ins suiciiw sum ?n,? ia?T the window. The "run*4 dissolved in a milling crowd of whooping Negroes, too convulsed to remember that they .had ibean afraid for theiraavings. The bank has ever since been called the "hot money" bank. The money making machinery legend that embroidered the story, has been sent back to Washington, but any , time it is needed it may be reinstalled and put back to work again to-pay off depositors.?-American Banker.
