LOVELY WOMAN AT A BANK.

A gentle, lovely woman entered a Main street bank yesterday. She wanted a cheque cashed, so" she went to the receiving teller's window and thrust the cheque in. The teller shoved it back.

" Next winder," he said. "Next winter? I can't wait till next winter," exclaimed the lady. " I said next winder," shouted the teller; " w-i-n-d-o-w, winder; t'other winder." "Oh, yesj; but this is the receiving window, isn't it ?" " Yes, but you can't get any money here." " But I'm going to receive it, ain't I ?" "Not here you ain't. Go to the other winder, lady; hell fix you." The lady was still uncertain, but she went and shoved in her cheque. The polite official thrust it back. "It's not endorsed, madam," said he. " Not endorsed ? What does that mean ?" " Is your name Tucker?" "P'raps it is and p'raps it isn't. What business is that o' yours ? " Is this your name on the face of this cheque ?" " Yes, it is." " Well, you've got to endorse it." " That's what you said before. What do you mean ?" " You must write your name across the back of it."

" But my name's on it already." . "On the front. That ain't enough; it must be across the back."

"Oh, well, gi'me it." She took it and carefully wrote her name upside down across the bottom of the cheque and handed it in.

" You endorsed it wrong, madam." "How'd I know how you wanted it? Why didn't you tell me ?" " 1 thought I did. Here, write it across the top, so," and the teller painfully showed her; and, with much grudging, she complied. The teller thereupon cashed her cheque with two silver dollars. " I ain't going to take those," she said. "Gi'me bills."

The teller sighed and gave her two onedollar bills, whereupon she picked up her parasol and departed.— * Buffalo Courier.'
