An Old Cashier.
New York Tribune


/ met the other day, the familiar figure OF
William Demarest, the old cashier of the
Harper Brothers, who has probably person
ally paid more money TO more famous
artists and authors than any other man in
this country. He belonged to the genial
class of men who affect grufness, but who
haven't anything but good nature in their
compositions. Years ago, when he was &C.
tive at his desk in the franklin Square
building, be was regarded n the Tim Link.

four original Harper Brothers were called by
admiring subordinates. i used to fancy that
Fletcher Harper, the youngest OF the four,
enjoyed the orowbeating which Dsmarest
occasionally INDUCED in with all the broth.
ers and / am sure that James Harper, the
elder OF them, the Mayor as he was called
then, liked TO tell how their old cashier
abused them to their faces. When he grew
old and needed q little rest the Harpers gave
Mr.. Demarest a leave of absence and s. 600 to
spend In trip to Europe They intended
1t TO be a permanent leave, but at the end of
a year the old cashier was back at his post
again. The brothers, however, shortly after
retired him on full pay. asked him the
