A Treaty of Peace

  THE Cashier of a bank having defaulted was asked by the Directors

  what he had done with the money taken.

  "I am greatly surprised by such a question," said the Cashier; "it

  sounds as if you suspected me of selfishness. Gentlemen, I applied1

  that money to the purpose for which I took it; I paid it as an

  initiation2 fee and one year's dues in advance to the Treasurer3 of

  the Cashiers' Mutual4 Defence Association."

  "What is the object of that organisation5?" the Directors inquired.

  "When any one of its members is under suspicion," replied the

  Cashier, "the Association undertakes to clear his character by

  submitting evidence that he was never a prominent member of any

  church, nor foremost in Sunday-school work."

  Recognising the value to the bank of a spotless reputation for its

  officers, the President drew his check for the amount of the

  shortage and the Cashier was restored to favour.
