A BUSY BANKER.

How One America Fills in his Day.

Oklahoma City.-A banker living in this part of the country was telling of his activities as the head of the only bank in his town. "Jaet listen," he said: "this is what I am expected to de: Belong to the Fire Department, enterisin all prominent visitors at my home, name the new babies, and set aside a special deposit for several dzin named after me. I have rán the engine for the waterworks while the regular man was away, prospected for oil for the good of the town, and even whitewashed my neighbour's fence.

"Of couree, I must always have a drink bid away for prospective customere, but never take one myself; ship quail as 'Irait' to city friends, organise pig clube for the State Agricultural Department. raise money for the Red Croza sud a dozen other war funds, talk enough Choctaw to keep the Indians from gouing in debt to the bank, tail at four o'clock the day before what hogs will bring on the Oklahoma City market, deliver the diplomas at the High School, place the new sewer bonda with Eastern investors.

Then I mast land in prayer meeting Wednesday night, and promote s boxing match Thore- day night; When I have nothing else to do I must write political speeches for customer candidates and raise a fund to fix the road out at the east end of town. When I retire arestat 18.m., I wonder if, under present con ditions, I can pay my usual dividend af 15 per cent. But we have always done it. In my time I have loaned 43,000,000 on oattle paper, and never lost a
