by prominent gentleman of this city
about two weeks ago for about $500, and
was passed by the indorscr to lumber
firm in this city. From thence it went to
seven other concerns and finally found its
way. to the original drawer of it. The
last indorser happened to be one who Wits
in arrears to the drawer, and seeing his
name to the check had gone and the good
it had done, concluded he would "do

THERE were seventeen of them-exactly
seventeen. They marched down Michi-
gan avenue in double-fiIe-all but one
He marched alone at the head of the col
umn. They were NOZZLE young men. They |
had high forelIeads and intelligent faces,
and there was stern, determined look on
each face-a look which said that they |
would die at their eountry's call. Were |
they going forth to battle? Were they |
going to the rescue of some kind sen |
ing to blot from the hearts of men? Were /
hey going to the succor of the unfortu-
nate and distressed? No, not cents |
were going out to play base
ball. 1t was an imposing sight to see |
hem march, march, each form erect, each |
step in time, each face bearing that look
which warriors wear when the roar of bat

pile or the corn-ficld the sight could not |
nave been more grand and thrilling.-De-
