R¢ experiences undergone by
Mr.. Isaac 5Apperstsin, furnish forth a
story of pertinent interest, and much
food for philosophic comments as well.
Young Mr.. Apperstsin was a telegraph
messenger who retained for his own
use and purposes, some $500. which
he had been sent to collect from a
bank. The money was paid to him in
large bills, and9 the youthful financier
