The Cashier Ahead.

Wall Street News. A new bank which has been established in a town in Indiana had engaged the services of a watchman who cam 3 well recommended, but who did not seem over-experienced. The president therefore sent for him to post him up a bit and began: "James, this is your first job of this kind, isn't it?” “Yes sir.” “Your first duty must be to exercise vigilance.” “Yes, sir.” “Be careful how strangers approach you.” “I will, sir.” “No stranger must be permitted to enter the bank at night under any pretext whatever.” “No, sir.” “And our cashier—he is a good man, honest, r eliable and thoroughly trustworthy, but it will be yoqr duty to keep an eye on him.” “But it will be hard to watch two men and the bank at the same time, sir." “Two men—how?” “Why, sir, it was only yesterday that the cashier called me in for a private talk and he said that you were the squarest man in Indiana, but that it would be just as well to keep both eyes on you, and let the directors know if yon hung around after hours.”
