COLD NERVE AND WASHERS.
Itow a Young Clerk nt Cheyenne Stoppe«l
a Hun on the (Sank.
‘We’ve got a bank clerk up in onr
neck o’ woods who some day will give
Jay Gould cards and slides in the game
of financiering and beat him to a stand
still,’* says Mortz Curren. “He's only
nineteen years old bnt is a hummer.
Two or three months ago, while the
president of the bank was away, the
cashier was taken sick ami in a few
hours was in a delirious state. The
young Napoleon was left in full charge
of the bank. Some evil disposed person
started the story one afternoon that the
institution was in a bad way. and inti
mated that the president had skipped the
country and that the cashier’s illness was
only a ‘bluff.’ Before night it was evident
there would be a run on the institution j
tiie next morning. The young clerk
knew there wus scarcely money enough
to last an hour. lie had no one to ad
vise him, bat he acted promptly.
“He called on the leading hardware
merchant aud held a brief conference.
Theu this young Napoleon went home,
where he found a committee from the
dei>ositors awaiting him. He did not
wait for them to speak, but made this
bluff: ‘I refuse to discuss business with
yon. There will bo $50,000 in gold here
in the morning, and there is a like
amount in the safe. You may draw out
every dollar you have deposited, and
wail be glad to get rid of your small ac
counts.’ Then he turned on his heel
and left the committee. Bright and
early there assembled at the hank the
creditors.
“Just before time for opening the
doors an express wagon was driven up,
in which were seated two heavily armed
men, one of them the watchman of the
bauk. A pathway through the crowd
was made, and the watchman began
carrying into the bank canvas bags con
taining gold coin, as indicated by the
prominent marks. Some of the biigs
were marked *$5,000,’ and one or two
‘$10,000.’ The people saw these bags,
heard the chink of the metal, and be
lieving the bank was “O K,” were about
to move away.
“Just Jis the last bag of ‘gold’ was
handed into the door the young finan
cier threw the bank open. The crowd
did not make any effort to reach the
paying teller’s window. *Como on, now,
every one of you,’ shouted the clerk. No
one responding he made another bluff.
‘You must come and get yonr money.
We don’t want your d d accounts
any more. Here, Jim Bartley, tike this
and sign this receipt in full. Here, Bill
Wyman, come and get your dust’ He
insisted on their taking the money. Just
at this juncture tho committee came in
and begged the clerk to ‘stop, for God’s
sake.’ They almost got down on their
knees to ask the bank to keep their
money. The young ‘Napoleon* finally
consented, but declared if there was ever
‘any more nonsense ho would throw
every depositor’s money into the street’
“The crowd departed happy, and con-
. fident that the bank was one of. the
strongest institutions of its kind in
America. Their confidence might have
been shaken had they known the canvas
bags reeled *5,000 gold,* etc., and be
daubed with red sealing wax, contained
nothing more nor less than iron washers,
which the young clerk had purchased
' from the harilware mqn, who hod other
wise assisted in the deception, he being
convinced of the soundness of the bank.
The two men the young Napoleon in
sisted on paying in full tho bank had
long wished to get rid of.*’—Cheyenne
Leader.

- A 1‘oier for tho lawyer..
John Doe owns a farm on the bank of
the Niagara river. He has a fine pasture
along tho river, and ho mukes an honest
penny now and then pasturing cows for
his neighbors. Richard Roe I ins nlso a
license from him to hitch his rowboat
on the bank, with incidental right of in
gress and egress through tho posture.
About • week ago Richard lost his elyiin
and improvised a rope of bay with which
to moor his boat—
Now Ebenezer Dick's cow, pastured in
the lot aforesaid, is fond of hay, and
smelling the fragrance of the extempore
ropo she waded into the river, climbed
Into the boat, chewed up the rope, and
floated down tho stream over tho falls,
where she met an untimely death. The
boat was also pulverized cn route to
Queenstown.
Has Ebenezer Dick any right of action
for the loss of his cow? If ho has, of
whom can ho recover? Has Richard Roe
any remedy for tho loss of his boat, and
if so against whom?—Buffalo Courier.
A lllble 280 Year. Old.
A. T. Stratton, secretary of the Y. M.
C. A., brought into our office a Bible
printed in London in 1010. This Bible
was bought soon nfter it was published
by John Stratton, and has been handed
down from Jblm to John till it came
Into the present owner's hands. A part
of tho family record remains, some en
tries being made in 1703. As this Bible
appeared one year before the King James'
version it is difficult to determine what
translation it is, though it differs very
little from tho authorized version. Tho
book is evidently in the original binding
qnd is in nfuirstateof preservation. The
faigu upon which tho date is found needs
protection or the most valuable part of
the book will bo lost. It is a rare relic
and is highly prized by the owner.—
Dover Republican.
« New Rule* of Politeness.
In certain private schools of Brooklyn
new rules of politeness are enforced. It
is no longer proper for the little pupils
to say: “Yes, air.** “Nf>, sir." “Yes,
ma'am,” and “No, ma’am," to their
elders. Now the correct thing is: “Yes,
Mr. Brown.” “No, Miss Smith," and
soon.
If the child happens to bo addressed
by a strange lady or gentleman the child
is instructed to reply, “Yes, mister." or
“Yes, lady."
At first this strikes the uninitiated os
an unpleasant innovation, bnt it has ob-
strong hold on tho children
and they are rapidly making their pa
rents converts to the new system.—New
York Herald.
