Doctor Says Diet Is Pretty Rough,
But Will Cause Little Inconveni
ence Unless Run Is Mado
For Coin.
JASONVILLE, Ind., Feb. 15.
Walter Wakefield, a junior in tho
high school, is a walking hank. Ho
acquired this dignity the other morn
ing when he accldently deposited $10
in gold In a part of his system where
even a clearance house certificate
cannot reach it, namely in his ali
mentary canal. It is safe there, ac
cording to. his physician, as long as
the owner does not make a run upon
him for the money.
It happened this way. Wakefield
was in "Chi" Miller's barber shop on
Main street with several other young
men. The proprietor flashed a gold
piece, regarded as a curiosity in these
parts. The young men wanted to
examine a "real ten," just for tho
sake of saying they had -had one in
their hands. The coin was passed to
one of them, who slipped it to his
neighbor, who in turn slipped it to
tho next man. It was not long be
fore Miller completely lost trace of
it.
Fipally it came into Wakefield's
hand, and Miller caught a gleam of
light from it Tho barber started
after the young man, who brushed
his hand across his face in a "fake
pass" to his neighbor, but deposited
tho money in his mouth. Ho was
laughing and tho coin leaped into his
throat, An involuntary gulp and
Wakesfleld was transformed into a
Bavings bank.
The' doctor told Wakefield that his

this money in Now York. He re
garded the Aldrich bill as a make
shift. Senator Stone favored tho law de
manding that reserves should bo kept
in tho country banks. If that had
been done ho believed the Intensity
of the recent panic would"h'avo betsn"
lessened. Ho spoko in favor of a
guarantee fund to insure tho de
posits in national banks. Ho also
wished to see banks receiving gov
ernments deposits pay interest on
them.
