USINESS
C ONSIDER what business would be WITHOUT BANKS. No man
should think of starting an enterprise before he arranged to OPEN
AN ACCOUNT. HOW DOES HE STAND AT THE BANK? is a
question asked at some time about every business man.
A good WORKABLE BANK BALANCE is essential to
every successful business man. . ^

John Boyce was a village carpenter,
and It. cuuuOt be said of him that he
was a hardworking man. As a matter
of fact, he was Inclined to be lazy.
He had a wife who was regarded os
easy going, and the couple did not cut
fnucb of a figure in the estimation of
the villagers. •
The only child of the Boyces when
they had been married more than
seven years was a son named Bofc,-
slx years old. He wasn't dull, and he
was not considered unusually smart-
just an average boy. If any one bad
predicted that he was going to turn
that county inside out before he reach
ed the age o.f seven he would have
been looked upon as light in the head.
The boy started his career at the
breakfast table one > morning when he
said:
“Father, did the lightning ever strike
anything in Hillsdale?’’
“Not that I remember,’’ was the reply.
“But k’s going to.”
“How do you know?”
“Dreamed it last night”
“What’ll it strike?”
“The Methodist meeting house. It’s
going to strike the spire and bust It
all to pieces aud then bum the church
down.”
“Bob, the cat must have been lying
on your stomach.” said the mother,
who was somewhat Impressed by his
earnestness.
“No. she wasn't”
“It ain’t worth minding.” said the
father as he left the table to fill his
pipe.
An hour later he met the pastor of
the church on the street and told him
what young Bob had dreamed.
“Indigestion.” replied the good man.
On the afternoon of the third day
thereafter a thunderstorm 9a me. While
the clouds were banking up the boy
came In from play and said to his
mother: /
“Now you watch out and you’ll see
the church struck!” And so ft hap^
pened.
When It came to be generally knowt
that the boy had dreamed it. It was
commented on ps a curious thing, but It
was the start of his career ns a dream
er. It was about two weeks later that
be said to his father: x
“Father, they are going to steal Mr
Enright’s black horse"
"How do yon know?”
“I dreamed it last night. The horse
was in a lot. and a strange man put a
bridle on him and rode him off."
During the day the carpenter sas
Mr. Enright and told him of the dream
and advised that the horse be locked
in the barn o’ nights. The owner
laughed heartily aud replied:
“Don't let Bob dream that my moth
er-in-law Is coming on to live with me."
Two nights later the horse disap
peered and was never heard of again.
Young Bob didn’t rush the dreamins
business. It was four weeks later tbn'
he said:
“Father, yr. Jones, the constable, is
going to be hurt."
"How?" was asked.
“I dreamed that u man hurt 1dm.”
“What sort of a looking man?”
”Hls nose was reddish, mid he had
busby whiskers aud was in his shirt
.sleeves.”
The constable was told, and be
smiled and replied:
"Boyce, do you believe In your boy’s
dreams?”
“Yes, I think so.”
"Well, to show you that I don’t here's
a five dollar bill I'll bet against a fifty,
cent piece that this dream of bis turnn
out to be nonsense."
Mr. Boyce fished up the coin, aud the
wager was made. That was in the
forenoon In the afternoon he drove
out into the country to serve some pu
pers on a farmer, and while talking
with the man's wife at the dobr ho
was bit on the bend with a club by
the husband, who sneaked up behind
The assaulter had a reddish nose anc
bushy whiskers.
The coustable was in bed for two
months, and the farmer ran away tc
avoid arrest
The next dream was that Deacon
Goodhue would lose his two cows if' he
didn't shut them up. When told of it
he replied:
'They must take me for an old fool
to think i would heed
dream.”
"But that Boyce boy’s dreams have
come true." v - — ' ,
Two days later the deacon’s cows
were run over by a train on the raik
road.
This dreaming was uncanny. It was
dangerous. It got on the nerves of
a whole county.
In old Salem days they would have
denounced that boy as a wizard and
roasted him at the stake. As it was,
they could do nothing but ask each
other what should be done.
It was a lightning rod man that solv
ed the problem that puzzled all others.
_ “I’m not a superstitious man," he
said, as all other men say, “bat I
don’t want that boy dreaming that 1
fell from the roof of a barn and broke
my back. Let’s buy the family to
move a thousand miles away and
dream for some other community.”
A committee had a'talk with Mr.
Boyce, and be agreed for the sum, of
1915 inclusive. A penalty of«one
per cent will be added from Jan. 1st,
1915 to Jan 31>, 1915 inclusive. From

BARNWELL
‘THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH,
YIELDING PUCE TO NEW.”
King Arthur sadly realized this truth when ip passing
sway, he gave utterance to the above thought So it is
in all kinds of business, banking included: the old way if
not adapted ta modern progress must give place to newer
methods. Keeping money at home, subject to loss by
theft and fire; has for the most part passed away in Barn
well County by reason of modem facilities in banking.
3!ONEY IN BANK, CHECK BOOK IN POCKET
is the new order now practiced by all who are really
progressive. x —-
First, select the bank wisely, and if the acid test of capi
tal stock protection is used, you will choose this bank.
Then ask for the check book which we furnish without
