| Out in the sky the great dark clouds are massing; I look far out into the pregnant night, Where I can hear a solemn booming gun And catch the gleaming of a random light, That tells me that the ship I seek is passing, passing.

Check-raising Made EasyOne of the first lessons, for instance, that a depositor should learn before he is qualified to own a check-book is to commence writing the amount as near as possible to the extreme left of the check. Those who forget this are often reminded of it in a costly way. Some one raises their checks by writing another figure in front of the proper amount. Five hundred might be raised to twenty-five hundred in this way, even by an unskilled forger. The highest court has recently decided that a bank cannot be held responsible, when it pays a raised check, if the maker of the check failed in the first place to write it out correctly. The treasurer of the Bath Electric Company, of Bath, Maine, had written a check for one hundred dollars, which was raised to eighty-one hundred dollars and cashed. The court held that the company, and not the bank, should lose the eight thousand dollars, because of the gross carelessness in drawing up the check. Facsimiles showing the check as originally written and as it looked when paid are here reproduced. Next: Altered Words And Figures Previous: Mistakes In Banking
