A Roll of Bills Lost, But Found
H. F. Walker, of the firm of Walker & Goodwin, came pretty near to being out a cool hundred dollars this week. He had that amount in a roll of bills, which he thought he put in the pocket of his overalls; but it appears that he must have dropped it about his work on the house on Casey street.
He deplored the temporary loss of the money, but it earns back rather strangely.
Some boys in the neighborhood found the roll of bills and were spending it ratherfreelv. Being questioned by their parents who had heard that Mr. Walker lost some species, answers tended to the restoration of the lost dollars. Mr. Walker rewarded the boys handsomely.
Another incident occurred the other evening which is worth mentioning, as it shows the sterling honesty of Master James Sullivan. A ten dollar bill was laying unnoticed between, the scales and showcase, on the counter of Holton’s drug store.
How long it had been there no one knows, but young Sullivan noticed it and immediately handed it over to the proprietor.
Had he been inclined to dishonesty he could have pocketed the cash and no one would have known it. Such honesty is worth rewarding by good words and deeds.
The owner of the ten-dollar bill turned out to be Frank Reynoldson of the Norwood Press, and he rewarded Master Sullivan’s honesty with a big, round, silver dollar.
