PAT RAFFERTY, AND THE TELLER

Doubt as to His Identity Worried This
lrishman.
There is rule in one at lea of the
savings banks in Massachusetts, that
when a passbook is presented with an
order for payment from the depositor
the Identification of the payee is re-
quired for amounts exceeding 500.
One day an Irishman, evidently not
long in this country, appeared at the
paying teller's window for a draft of
1923, presenting a passbook and an
order from the owner of the book to
pay Patrick Rafferty, the amount.
The order was in proper form, but
the payee was not known to the teller.
do you know any of the officers
here?" he asked of Pat
No, sor," replied Pat.
We'll. then. you will have to be
Identified to us in some way"
What's that?" asked the now con-
fused freshman
why" explained the teller, you
will have TO get some one whom we
know and who knows you to come in
here and identify you. You might be
anybody, and we want to be sure
that we are paying Patrick Rafferty,"
Pat looked dazed and went over to
a seat and for ten or fifteen minutes
looked stupidity at the passbook and
order.
Finally he approached the window
again, with the most dubious look i'm
aginable on his face, and said, Say,
young Teller. If I'm not Pat Rafferty,,
who the divil am I?'
