His Indorsement.

A man with a long overcoat on and a horsewhip in his hand entered a bank near the postoflice yesterday and preI seated a check calling for §lO, which he had received from a commission house. I “ Please indorse it,” said the cashier, as he handed it back. “ I’ll indorse it, of course,” replied the man, holding up his right hand as if ready to swear. “ Write your indorsement,” explained the clerk, pointing to the desk outside. j “Oh—oh—that’s it, eh?” And he went to the desk and slowly and carefullj i wrote on the back of the check: “This is awl rite.” When the cashier entered into a clearer explanation the man drew down his hat, got red in the face and growled: “ Darn ’em 1 They just hate to let a cent slip out o’ here, and don’t you for--1 get it!” — Free Press.
