HiS FIRST CHECK.
Tli# Way 1k» Place of Paper Worried
Ihouas A. feUllMoa.
Thomas A. Edition once told a friend
the Ktory of hi* lirwt acquaintance with
uny big nuin of money. It A’ua when
he wn» Htruggllng with hU^ariier In
ventioiiA, and* he had atyouf n« clear
an idea of the value of a bank chock
at the man In the moon. He bad final
ly sold bis patent on the gold and stock
indicator to the Western Union Tele
graph company and bad called nt its
office to close the deal. After a few
preliminaries he was given a check {or
|40 ( 000. He eyed It curiously and ap
peared to be puzzled what to do with
it Observing his perplexity, General
Lefferts, then president of the Western
Union, told him that If he would go to
the Bank of America, In Wall street,
he could get the cash on his check.
‘‘So I started,” said Edison, “after
carefully folding up the check, and
went toward Wall street. So uncer
tain waa I In regard to that way of
doing business that I thought while
on the way that If any man should
come up to me and offer me two crisp
$1,000 bills for that piece of paper 1
would give him the check very quick-
ly.”
On his arrival nt the Bank of Amer
ica he half tremblingly shoved bis
check out to the cashier. The latter
scrutinized -it closely, gave him a
piercing glance and said something
which Edison, being hard of hearing,
failed to understand. That was
enough. lie was fully convinced that
his check was not worth $40,000 and
again thought ns lie rushed put of the
bsnk that uny man who would give
him $2,000 for It could havo it. He
hurried back to the olfice of the West
ern Union nnd wild he could not get
any money. A clerk was sent to the
bank with him fo identify him.
“This man,”' said the clerk, “Is Mr.
Thomas A. Edison, to whose order the
check Is drawn.”
“Why, certainly, Mr. Edison,” said
the cashier. “How would you like jonf'
money—ln what shape?”
“Oh, any way to suit the bank; It
doesn’t make any difference to me, so
long as I get my money * *
Edison was given $40,000 In large
•Ills. After dividing the roll into two
ads of $20,000 each he stuffed one
Into each trousers pocket nnd made all
speed out of Wall street. The nqgt
