" Varo is dor gashcr ?" ejaculated the breathless Teutón, as he boundod up the steps and into the door. A courtly gentleman made the bland response, " I am the cashier, sir. What oan we do for you to-day !" " What oan you do vor me ? Sacrament! Dot ish a h - 11 uf a node, aind it ? Do vor me'i Herr Gott donner wetter und zeifenblazen.

Seeing there was 110 wey of reasoning with this excited customer, the cashier turned to his paying teller, and said "Mr , cash this man's check for his bal auce in iull." The Chicago dealer in "sheep cloding " nervously drew up the check and the urbane teUer counted out the sum it ealled tor. The Teutón drw in one good, long brenth, counted his money, put it in his breast pookt t, and went his way a happy rnan. The cashier went back to his office anti had been eéated there some minutes, whtn the prominent nasal appendage of his Teutonic c -stomer again overshadoWed the counter, and his voice was again heard : " Mr. Gasheer, I vood like to shpeek mit you some diugs." Thinking that perhnps his customer had rocovered trom his i'right and desired 10 deposit, his fuuds the uaahier responded quickly and came torward to the counter.

The cxcited individual from Chicago eyed bis interlocutor with the injured air of one whq thinks he has been refused a very reasonible request and then sadly preceded bis coat-tails out of the bank. He got his money.
