A DETECTIVE ROMANCE,
/ BANK PRESIDENT HOIST WITH HIS OWN
pETAKD.

fETAhU.
The President of one OF the banks of this city
recently was struck By brilliant idea: to i'm
press the clerks with a due sense of his watch
fulncss and their responsibility, he would hare
them "shaduwed by detective. He did SO,
and every day or so would cali one Of the young
men into bis priEatc room and address him
with severity something after this fashion:
"Young man, you left the bank at 1915 min
utes past 4yestcrday afternoon. You made a
bee-liue for Dearborn street, declining on the
way to purchase matches and suspenuers, and
telling venerable man who poked an advertis-
ing dodger into your diaphragm to go to place
where there is no Ice on the sidewalks, and the
probabilities always indicate an area Of high tenn
perature. You also winked at stray widow
with false teeth. Arrived ut Dearborn street,
you entered tue house Of publican and sinner
named aiuc!sin, had i hot Scotch whisky with
not too much sugar III H. invited the barkccpcr to
takcsometi thing himsulf, f,-aninyitatio which was
firmly but respectfully declined, and had a red
hot oyster on fork. Thence proceeding to bill
rectors, you played four games of billiards,
losing three, and being stuck for as many
rounds OF drinks. In addition to this, you had
three other nips and 8 cigar,-a Concha- Light
ing this, you proceeded to restaurant, the
name OF ElIch is advertised in The CHICAGO
TRIBUNE. where you dined heartily and mex
pensirely on tomato-soup, raw oysters, broiled
chicken, apple pie, fried potatoes, celery, and
number Of other articles, the check. including
bottle of Bass ale, being $2.d5. In payment
you gave the cashier s. srecuback, 4 ], $3.50, ,456
ii you deem it necessary I can describe the
change you received. Tucncc proceeding to the
billiard-room, you played billiards TIL 9:47,
when rou went to gaublinE-he1l, that
might, but need not, perticulari.e,
where you buckcd the tiger $3.50 worth.
You got a fna1 drink at 12:15 q, m. and went
home in car 23S, West Madison street line. l
do not recite this to censure you OF find fault
With you in any way, but merely TO show you
that the officials Ut this Institution keep close
wat<h upon all their employees. Honesty IL the
best policy. That is all-n
The clerk would retire terrified, and not en-
bezzle another dollar for aB much az a wee1.
