Eoison's First JBtg Check.

Wizard Edison recently to New York
from Meno Park on business connected with some
of his enterprises and while in town dined
with friend and the writer During the dinner hour
the great electrician became conversational and told
in his quaint way the story of his first acquaintance
with any large sum of money.
1t was in the early seventies when he
young man struggling along with his inventions,
and had no capitalists to back him. In fact, he had
no bank account, and hardly knew what one
Bank checks were things he had never had occasion
to and he had much idea OF their value ap
parently the man in the moon.
4 had" said Mr.. Edison, just sold my patent
on the gold and stock Indicator to the Western Union
Telegraph Company for $40, 900, and had come
to New York to get my money. had heard OF Wall
street. and it's bulls and BEARS and had been told
that the locality full of sharks who would
fleece stranger quickly. So made up my mind
that Wal street undesirable placa, and that
if had occasion to go there would be lucky if
got away without losing my overcoat umbrella.
AT that time General Lefferts president of
the Western Union and / shall never forget my
stations on the morning that went into the COM
panys general office to close up the sale of my pat
ent. l was Immediately recognized by clerk, who
ushered me into the presence of the president, who
after a few preliminaries handed me check for
$40, 900.
q looked at it curiousy for a moment or two,
and my manner must have conveyed to Lefferts the
IMPRESSION that was very UGH puzzled what to do
with it. Of course, knew that had sold the pat
to the Western Union Company for $40, 600, but
couldn't exactly realize that the scrap Of paper ten
dered good for such amount of money.
observing my perplexity, General Lefferts told
that if | would go down to the Bank of America
Wall street could get the check cashed.
WELL" continued Mr.. Edison, u started out,
after carefully folding up the check and went toward
Wall street. So uncertain | yet in re
gard to the way General Leferts had of doing
business, that | thought while the way that if
any should come up to me and offer me two
crisp thousand dollar bills for the piece of paper
would give up the check willingly.
Arriving at the Bank of America, I hesitated
about entering, fearing still that something might be

wrong. At last, however, mustered up my courage
and determined to try it. Entering the bank,
walked up trembling to little hole in high glass
topped desk through which / pushed my check to
the cashier.
1.-The latter, after scrutinzing it closely, gave
the check back with piercing glance, and said some
thing which could not understand, as l was then,
as | am now, rather deaf
That enough. l more than
convinced that his check wasn't worth $40 900. and
again thought as rushed out of the bank with it,
that any who would give me the So 900 would
be welcome to the check.
AS quick my legs would carry me hurried
back to the Western Union Office and told the presi-
dent that the check good to me, as couldn't
get any money for it. General Lefferts laughed and
seeming to understand my unsophisticated business
methods he called clerk and requested the latter
to accompany to the bank, and identity me. Ar
irving at the bank again presented the troublesome
bit of paper to the cashier, and Leertss clerk said
This man is Thomas A. Edison to whose order that
check is drawn
Why certainly, Mr.. Edison, said the cashier
How would you like to have the $40 900? In bills
of what denomination, sir?'
Oh, any way to suit the bank. It does not
