HOLES IN THE POCKET
"Look at that hole in the bottom of my pock-
et; no telling how much money 1 have lost," la-
mented a young man the other day.
After he had gone an old man said: 'Til bet
he has lost more money out of the hole at the Top
of his pocket than lie ever lost from that little hole
at the bottom.n He spoke with the wisdom of
age. - Most of the money goes out of the big hole
at the top of the pocket and we don't worry, but
we raise a great rumpus if even a clime drops out
through the hole at the bottom. Moral:-Do away
with the pocket as a money purse by starting an
account at our bank.
