THE NAUGHTY BANK CLERK.
He Never Corrected Mistakes because
lie Never Made Any, Except Once.
"The rule at banks a 4 other cstab-
lishmcnts where sums of money are paid
out not to rcctify mistakes after the re-
CeIvcr has left the building Is of course
a necessary one, >" said Walter :. Dale of
san Francisco. to a Globe Democrat re-
porter. But it is one of those rules of
which no honest man cares to take adj
vantage Not long ago needed some
currency to close real estate transaC-
ton, and going to my bank filed up
counter check for $1,000 receiving $500
bills for il. | counted them casually
and there appeared to be six, but when
| counted them out again an hour later
there were clearly seven.
AS soon as | could | went back to
the bank and asked the teller if he did
not make 4 mistake in caShlng my check.
He notified me very haUghtIly that he
never made mistakes and even if he did
there was an inyariablc rule not to rccti-
fv errors after the window had been
left | was so annoyed with the way in
which this was said that | walked out of
the bank. At about $50 the young nan
entered my office with all his b.dghtI-
ness gone and asked me if i was quite
sure that he had not given me a 500
bill too much, explaining that he was
$500 short and that ! was the only Gus
toner to whom he had given bills Of
that denomination that day.
1T was my turn now, and | reminded
him very coolly of the fact that no mis-
takes were ever rectifcd in the irrcgu-
lar manner he suggested. 70 punish
him | very sternly declined to argue
III" point, and ! am afraid he must
have spent very glccpicSs night. | re
turned him his 500 in the morning and
added two or three words of advice,
which he was to" delighted to resent.
His manner has been considerably less
sarcastic and smart ever since"
