THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
NOTHING lAIPOSSIBLE. A banker with wide experience in pulling firms out of difficulties into which tho late deflation had brought them says that his best aid was a certain story. -Whenever he said a thing must be clone, and the owners of the crippled business, said they couldn’t do it—which happened often —the banker would tell the following story:—-“A man was telling his son a bedtime story about an alligator. It was creeping up behind a turtle, with its mouth wide open.
