Origin OF Bank Check.

A. Frenchman quoted In a Paris let
ter OF the London Globe tells OF the
origin Of the present day bank check.
II Is well known. he says, that the fog
is so dense at times in London that
everything is blotted out. That is the
opportunity OF the marauder and he
is not slow in turning It to his profit.
Al the beginning Of last century tho
attacks made upon bank messen-
gers and others became so numerous
that trndesmen and manufacturers be
gan to think seriously Of devising some
means OF protecting themselves. They
therefore invented the check. which
enabled a man to go about with little
ready money and renders useless the
indIscreet exploration of a pocketbook.

ary he wouldn't make as much noise
as mouse in bag OF feathers" The

racket, but perhaps he Is elated be
