Show The modki. panic-maker has been discovered in Washington, according to the Xew York .V;.v..- He drew $10,000 from one of the bank a day or two ago, hired a safe, and locked it up. The Washington Chf-ni-lc estimates esti-mates that M per cent, of 81,375,000 in currency, drawn from the savings banks of that city during the panic, is hid awny in old stocking legs and chimneys. There's ''more truth than poetry" in this statement. People rather Like all the risks of fire, murder, mur-der, and robbery, and hide their pile of cash in a be.l tick or stocking leg than trust the banks. And after al they can't be greatly blamed, when they study the history of breaking banks and delimiting ofiicials for hall a year or so. |
