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.
