Z BANK WORRIES:
How One Clerk Fretted a whoIe

/
How One Clerk Fretted whoIs
Year All For Nothing.
An ex-bank official said that during
his career In the banking business be
had known more than one employee
OF bank to get into trouble on ac-
count Of cnrelessness in handling
money.
One collector, who was light heart
ed fellow, was going along the street
IN high water season Tipping UP a
twenty dollar piece with his thumb
and finger and catching 1t as 1t came
down. Finally it slipped and fell
through grating on the sidewalk into
about two feet of water. He made
some efforts to recover 1t, but finally
decided to wait till the water was
gone, and then 1t was found that the
coin was also gone. Another time the
same fellow was coming up the street
with $4,000 In twenty dollar pieces
on his shoulder. In some way he lost
his hold on the sack, and In striking
the sidewalk 1t burst, and the coins
rolled in all directions. A number of
people rushed to his assistance, but he
described large circle around the
sack and, waving his arms wildly, or
dered everybody to "stand back" He
recovered most Of the coin, but decided
to get out of the banking business.
Another time a Chinaman came into
the bank and deposited 5000 and took
a certificate Of deposit The clerk
who made out the certificate was pre-
occupied and wrote $1,000 on it and
OH the stub. When he made up his
cash at night he was $500 short. He
knew where the mistake was and tried
to hunt up the Chinaman; but, al
though he got clew, he could never
ind him, and he remained $500 short
on the books He had a notice Of the
date of the certificate, amount, ETC.,
pasted in his desk and was always on
the lookout to catch the certificate as
1t came In. Just a year from the day
the deposit was made the Chinamari
walked into the bank and presented
the certificate to be cashed. When
asked how much he wanted he said
all-$2O0. He had never noticed the
mistake In the amount Of the certifi-
cate, and he has never found 1t out,
and the clerk suffered the worry of be-
ing short in his mind for whole year
all for nothing. Portland 0regonian.
