How a Worthless Check Was Cashed.

New York Graphic. A good story is tnld of a hotel cashier who got “stuex” with a worthless check, but succeeded in securing part of the amount. He had cashed a check for $75 for a gentleman who was not a guest of the house, but was so frequently about its corridors that he was supposed to be good for the amount of the check. The check came back with the report that there were no funds in the bank to cover it The cashier tried every expedient to get the money out of the man who drew it, but without* avail. One day he learned by accident that there were S6O to the credit of the fellow in the bank. He quietly went to the bank and made a deposit of sls in the name of the man, presented his check was duly paid $75. He was out only sls instead of $75 and counted himself exceedingly lucky.
