A National Hunk Account Convenient and Economical. The wise woman may have extremely few dollars, but she has a bank account. Carrying one's wealth in a check book is much safer than carrying it in a purse, and although it may not be convenient to pay such small things as ear fares by cheeks, it is much more convenient to pay bills of any considerable izi' It is 'safe, nl.o.

to tender a check on any city bank in payment ir i'ils boivrhi in one of the larjr Moivs, even ouj'ii one is personally tb? proprietors. Tliotv is always op port unity for them to dis'eov. worth of the check between tlv of its presentation and the timr the pioiis home. To open a bank uccourit is not necessary to have much iimncy. Some banks will receive ns small a deposit ns fifty dollars as a beriniinr.

It is necessary for a woman opening an account to be personally known to the cashier or to have a letter of introduction to him or to the president. Such a letter should be presented during bank hours, which are usually between ten and three. It is well, also, for the woman who has a bank account to remember that the institutions of finance close early on Saturdays. The name, address and reference of the depositors will have to be entered in her writing on the identification book. Should a check signed by her name In a doubtful writing ever be presented, this book will be used for comparison.

When this has been done the deposit is made. Deposits may be made in bills, checks or drafts, and when the money is handed to the receiving teller it is accompanied by a deposit slip, on which the sum deposited and the form in which it is presented are recorded. A pass book, which tells the amount of the depositor's credit, a check book and some deposit slips are given to her and she Is a fully equipped depositor. The pass book should be sent to the bank at stated times to be balanced. "The advantages of having a bank account are more than the mere glory of the situation.

Hanks are not so easily robbed ns feminine bags and bureau drawers. Checks aro more convenient than bills and silver. And, lastly, there is less temptation to extravagance when one has to make out a check for each item, and when one realizes that each abstinence from spending swells Vie sum to one's credit. N. Y.

Quarantine Measures Adopted by Vari ous Towns Though Springfield Has Not Yet Acted. The statement that smallpox had made its appearance at Mountain Grove seems to have been justified by reports which come from that city today. Jt is said that a man from Kausas went to Mountain Grove a short time since aud developed a virulent case of smallpox by which, it seems, the community has jbeen contaminated, and many cases of the dread disease have developed. It is reported that the doctor, who attended the lirst sick mail was prostrated by the plasn ml is now dead. how true these statements are can oulv be inferred, as they emanate from the region infected and there is a possibility the rumors may tell a liUle mere than what is really true.

Thk Lkadkr is informed that there are about seventeen eases of small pox in the country and quite a number in Mountain Grove, end it is further stated on good authority that nearly every town in this vicinity except Springfield has quarantined against Mountain Grove" until the alleged pestilence is suppressed. It has been said by citizens today, that if small pox is epidemic in Mountain Grove this place should be protected, though no fear is appre hended. Nervou3 folks, however, think quarantine measures the best policy until the victims of disorder are discharged as cured. There is a lively business being dore in vaccination points, and it is more than likely that there will be a general puncturing; of arms and other members in Springfield in the next few days.
