E BANK CHECKS.
A Piece of Lath, Collars and Cuffs That
Have Been Endorsed and Cashcd.

Have Been Endorsed and Cashcd.
Philadelphia Press: y torn linen
collar, a piece of lath. a cuff. and half
a dozen other odd objects hung above
a certain banks clerks desk in this
city.
My collection of queer checks" the
young man said. Each of those things
is n check. Each was duly honored.
Bach has a story.
II have been collecting queer checks
for three years. That piece OF hath
started me. A bank honored the lath
for $3.50. 1t was made into IL check
by the owner of a saw mill, who was
out at the plant with his son, thirty
miles from any house. and totally with
out paper. let alone IL check. The
money was needed to pay off the
hands. The saw miller wrote on the
lath just what a check correctly drawn
has on i'll, n he sem his son into the
bank To get the money and TO explain.
The lath check was honored after some
discussion among the banks officers.
The cuff check was drawn by an
actor who had become slightly intexi-
Gated, got into q Sight and been ar
rested. He was treated cavaliersy in
his cell; they wouldn't give
him II paper. and he bribed
u boy TO take The check
To a bank. The boy got the money.
and with it the actor paid his fine
Otherwise he'd have been JAILED fo,
ten days. Thus n cuff check may be
said to have saved a MAJ from prison.
The check written on that linen col
lar Won a bet of S.. A man BET n
M that Il check made ON II collar
would be cashed. and, of course, he
won his bet.

checks you can draw up. In such mon
key business, though, l Won't neour
