Jokes That Are Bad.

A man entered the bank the other
day and said he had million dollars
which he desired to place on deposit;
that the money was coming 20 him
from Kentucky, where he had it invest

money had no further use for it and
declined to pay interest he wished to
place it on deposit, as he only wanted
to use one hundred thousand for him.
self at present. The man talked in a
business-like way. but il only took a
moment for Major Harrington, the
cashier of the bank, to discover that
the man WAS unbalanced. He told
him that they We're not prepared to re-
ceive and become responsible for so
large a sum of money. .'Wel, what
can do with it?n asked the man. The
cashier told him to scatter it through
the country; that there was great de-
mand or money, and il could readily
be loaned. After moments reflection
the man concluded he would do that.
On inquiry it has developed that the
man was a farmer in Crescent Town
ship who had invested extensively in
lottery tickets, and the boys. learning
of this fact, took advantage Of his weak
ness. and wrote him letters informing
him of his good luck in drawing a for
tune. inclosing bogus checks and drafts,
which he exhibited at the bank. This
seems to have completely unsettled his
mind, and he now imagines himself n
millionaire. The boys, who thought
only to play joke, have indeed made
a serious business OF it, and the friends
of the unfortunate victim attribute to
them the cause of his alteration
