WOMAN'S POWER. The other day a woman went into the Corn Belt Bank of Bloomington. She had a check she wished cashed. When she presented the check she was informed that the person whose name was signed on the check and who had made the specified amount payable to her had no funds in the bank. So the teller wrote across the back of the check "No funds." Taking this to mean that the bank was short of funds, the woman hastily circulated the report in the four quarters of the city that the Corn Belt Bank was ready to collapse, had "no funds," and she showed the check as proof of her tatement. Her excited utterances precipitated a run on the bank. and in 1 short time something like $100,000 had been drawn out. Now Roosevelt and Cleveland may citicise women if they wish, but the Bullet'n points to the above story as illustration in fact of woman's great power. It is marvelous what a woman can do when she wants to.
