The Part They Play In the Payment ~
Debt.
A young man had kept in his pos
session for several days q check from
his uncle. His uncle died, and he
hastened to the bank to cash the
| check. When he found the bank would
not pay tho check until it had orders
from the heirs or from the courts he
was surprised and observed to his ia
ther that he thought Of a check as be-
ing &c much money IL the signature
was good.
As a matter Of fact, however, q
check Is merely an order from A. to
B., who holds some of AS money, to
pay a certain amount thereof to @.
It is not money, even If the names on
the check are good and well known
and the bank is solid as the govern
ment. Although checks are given in
payment Of debt and a receipt usually
Is signed on the spot, yet the passing
OF a check does not constitute pay.

by the bank.
nor Will the concurrent receipting Of
the debt for which it is given change
this. II the check is not paid on pres
entation to the bank the original claim
stands against the drawer or giver of
the check. But a certified check con-
stitutes payment on the part Of the
person who draws 1t.
Checks may be antedated or post
dated-that is, dated before or after
the date Of delivery. If postdated
checks are paid before the day speci-
fed the drawer car recover the mon.

cordance with any order from him,
but on its own responsibility.
If a blank Is left for the date the
holder is authorized to insert the true
date of delivery, but no other date.
The insertion of any other date or
changing the date without the consent
Of the drawer makes the check void.-

Tho Battle Of a Week.

The battle of a week was the great
conflict at Tours in which Charles
Martel overthrow the Saracens, A. D.
1872. The members Of the Saracen
army are v~ariously estimated at from
100000 to 100000, and the historians
say that 375,OO0 were killed on the
field. 1t is suspected that these fig
ures are a gross exaggeration, but it
is certain that few battles of history

He is known throughout the United
States as belonging to the younger
class of hotel men who are completely

and the successful hotel man has to
be not only a close student of human
nature, a financier and an economist,
but must be posted as we'll on every

AS far as Mr. Saux is concerned, he
! combines all of these qualities, and
besides being an expert caterer, has
proves his talents along all the other
lines. 1t is conceded in hotel circles
in New Orleans that Mr.. Saux has
made a record which any hotel man
