Caa Ho MhiIp hrrk In Which Flffurra mid I lie Ntim Written Out In Full Arc For Different Amount. A well known customer of a bank tecpi-d to the desk mid wrote a check, liking meanwhile with the teller, with whom he was on Intimate tonus. When lie hud finished lie threw over the cheek. Hint the teller counted him out ?-I,;u. When the check passed to the bookkeeper ho discovered It whs not signed. That was n remediable mistake, but the one that happened at the Glrard r)ii nk lu Philadelphia did not have so trilling an ending. A customer asked the teller to balance his book. It was found that he had a credit for (3,500. "I will draw that (ilve nie Bight ex change on London," he said. W'lu n the bunk balanced Its books It was $.'!1,."IK) short, the sum for which the clerk had written the exchange and which the cashier himself hud signed. Meantime the buyer of the exchnnge had gone on a llshlug trip and hud for warded the bill of exchange to his cor respondents In London, but until the bank could locate their customer they could not ascertain the whereabouts of the missing draft. All that could be done was to notify their correspondents lu London not to pay its face. The ex change was presented lu Loudou for the full a mount mid protested. When Its purchaser showed up he was able to make a fresh start in the transaction that straightened It out, but tin bank sacrificed the services of u clerk who had previously been a valued em ployee. Mistakes of this kind are not fre quent in financial Institutions, but one took place lu the defunct Globe Na tional bunk lu Chicago that never did get straightened out. A customer drew a check for $1,000. mid u confidential clerk wus scut for the niouey. It was an overdraft of some $100, mid the paying teller demurred tit paying It. The clerk appealed to the cashier, who consented to pay the full amount aud put his Initials on the check. There wus a line of people at the teller's win dow wheu the clerk returned. He Waited until the teller wus relieved, then wrote the check for $10,000 In stead of $1,000. Hie cashier's Initials were a truurantee, and the check was paid without question. The clerk had been a trusted employee In a brokerage house, but the sudden chance to get. a huge siim of money wus too greut a temptation. The Ivtuk stood the loss. The ease with which u mistake can be uiado Is illustrated by u fraud In Jest that was played upon William M. Slngerly of Philadelphia. He was, among other things, president of the Chestnut Street National bunk, and among his partieulur friends were Frank Morau, the old negro minstrel, and Richard Lennoii, u politician and merchant, all of them members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and full of practical Jokes. A man up In Erie had Issued a facsimile of a certified check as au advertise ment. It was for $.KK), drawn upon the "P.auk of Good Will" and Indorsed by the cashier of the "Natlonul Bank of Good Fortune." It was stamped and looked like bona fide commercial paper. One of them reached the hands of Morau and l.ennou. who strayed Into the president's office Just before banking hours were over and asked him to cash it. Mr. Slngerly, with a glance ot the amount, appended his In itials and, culling a clerk, directed him to bring him live $100 bills for the check. The clerk took It to the teller, who counted out the money and re turned It to Slngerly, who passed It to Leunon. Morau Invited the president to meet him at a road house on Wls- sahickon drive in two hours and went awny. Next morning lu making up checks for the clearing house the "phony" one was detected and referred to Mr. Slngerly, who simply said: "I thought Frank was spending a lot of money last night. He gave us a mighty good supper." But the lodge of Elks had fun over that check at many n subsequent session. It not Infrequently happens that a man writing a check enters one sum In figures and another sum In writing out In full. This Is, of course, mere Inad vertence, and If the check reaches the hank on which It Is drawn the lesser amount Is the one that is paid. The other day a grocer In New York cashed such a check for a customer for $"0. the amount that was written out and the amount the customer asked for, but the figures were for $5. The grocer tools only a cursory glance at the paper and the next day sent It with other checks to his bunk, where It was accepted for $.". In n like way of carelessness persons often forget to ate their checks. Usually the bank will supply the date on small checks on current account, but on Important stuns they will be thrown out. Paymaster E. N. Whltehonse of the navy, attached to the European squad ron, once drew at Plymouth for $11(1, 00O on ,T. S. Morgan & Co., London, and presented the draft to the Plym outh branch of the Bank of England. The money was to be used by the crew of the cruiser Boston, who were to have shore leave at Plymouth. It was Indorsed by the commander of the ship and the United States consul at Plym outh, and the consul went to the bank with the paymaster for the mon ey. The manager declined to pay the draft until It was accepted by J. S. (Morgan & Co., because he did not Ik now the olllcers. The draft must bo drawn lu triplicate, he explained, aud they should be dated as emanating from the ship, and altogether he was A H AUANTi:i:i ( I UK FOIt I'll, KM.

A dlspatct from Morgan bronght a satlsfactorj acceptance, mid the manager ot th Plymouth bank counted forth the mon ey lu Bunk of England notes, oue ol which Mr. Whltehonse took up and read aloud, "At Hlght the Bank of ling luud will Miy to bearer." "This Is a note of hand," he said. "II is not accepted. I will take gold. 1 dou't know anything about this puper. It Is not u legal tender." The bank manager had nothing to da but to get together 5,000 gold sover elgns, which he did with bad grace, and Whltehouse and the consul left cou grutulatlng themselves that they were evcu with the Plymouth branch of the Bauk of England. A few days after that the paymaster received a letter from J. S. Morgan & Co. asking author ity to supply the date to his drafts made at Plymouth, which had carried the mouth on which drawn, but not the day. After nil the haggling over them they had gone through uudated. The failure to date exchauge resulted lu the discovery of the greatest scheme of forgery ever successfully carried out and lu the arrest of McDonald, the Bldwell brothers and Ogle, the Bunk of England forgers. The forgers hud a running account at the west end branch of the Bank of England, In London, and presented their accepted exchange at six months, drawn on Rothschilds In the city. The first bills were good, the second ones fraudulent. In clean lug up this last project they presented forged paper for $.-00,0lH), but careless ly left out the date of acceptance. The messenger of the Bank of England branch was Instructed to drop Into Rothschilds' and have them supply the missing date. He did so aud lu a mo ment was surrounded by the bauk of ficers. In tou minutes the news of the forgery was In every bank lu Eugland. The forgers escaped to America, were arrested, extradited and sentenced to life imprisonment. So mistakes of this kind sometimes work for good as well as ill. A case which partook something of the nature of both good and 111 is re lated of a broker lu New York who found himself pressed for money at a time wheu he had to pay a great many customers a large sum In the aggregate. What he needed was about four days' time to realize on his assets. Without that time he must fall. So lie faced settling day with a calm front and coolly sent out checks to all his credit ors unsigned. In four days they all were back again. By that time he had made his bank balance good and sent out checks signed this time, with an apology for the oversight. New York Press. CLEVER POLITICAL POEM. 'Written by n Irlatiman Darin the Rebellion of 170. What Is spoken of as "one of the clev erest political poems ever composed" was written by Arthur Connor (or O'Connor), the friend of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and, like him, a prominent figure In the Irish rebellion of 170S. ne was arrested at Margate that year when on his way to France on a secret mission. After being detained in Kll malnliaiii Jail for some time he was at length removed, with ' other political prisoners, to Fort George In Scotland. It was while on his way thither that he distributed copies of the following poem, which was regarded as a proof of his return to loyalty: The pomp of courts nnd pride of kings I prl7." above nil earthly tlilnps. I love my country, bat the klnff, Above nil men his prnlm I sins. The royal banners are displayed. Anil may mice the standard aid. I fain would banish far from hence The "RlKhta of Man" and common sense. Confusion to his odious reign, That foe to prlneis. Thomas Talne! Defeat and ruin selo the cause Of France, Its liberties nnd laws! If the above lines be read continu ously, they seem to express very loyal sentiments, but If you read the first line of the first verse nnd then the first line of the second verse you will find that they breathe the spirit of rampant rebellion: Tho pomp of courts nnd pride of kings I fain would banish far from hence. I prize above nil earthly things. Tho "ftlBhts of Man" and common sense. I love my country, but the kins, Confusion to his odious reign! Above nil men his praise I sing, Thnt foe of princes, Thomna Pains! Tho royal banners are displayed, oefeat nnd ruin seize the cause! And may success the stiindnrd aid Of France, Its liberties and laws. Arthur O'Connor ultimately made his way to France, where. In 1807, he mar ried the daughter of the Marquis de Condorcet. Ho entered the French army and rose to the rank of general. Ills death took place In April, 18T2, when lie wus eighty-seven years of age. The Junius Letters. Iu Lord Holland's reminiscences there Is a story told on the authority of Lord Albemarle concerning the au thorship of the "Junius" letters. Al bemarle was present at a dinner where a conversation was started between Dudley North and Sir Philip Francis. The forWr rallied the latter somewhat rudely as the author of "Junius" and said It was vain to deny It. Francis grew angry and with more solemnity than was usual exclaimed: "Ho you mean to tell me seriously that I am a scoundrel or liar? I have de nied distinctly my being the author, and after that they who believe I am must believe ine to bo a liar or a scoundrel, or Imtb." Dudley North then changed his buttery. At lust he said: "In short. It is Idle to talk so much about It. We all. In truth, know how It Is. Lloyd" (Lord GrcnvHIe's private secretary) "wrote the letters aud you corrected the press." Francis at theso words seemed startled and answered, us Albemarle thought, with emotions of surprise, "You have made worse guess es, sir, In your life than that."
