“I can’t make my cash balance,” reported the bookkeeper to the senior member' of a 5-year-ohl concern. “Which wav is it? ' , “Over.” “How much?” “Forty-five dollars." “Correct you are, my boy. You take $5 and give me $-10; you see, my wife came m here this morning and I dumped what money i had in my pockets into the cash drawer. Then I turned the pockets inside out and told her I hadn’t got a cent, that the money in the drawer was part or a sum to pay a note and that you had gone out to borrow enough to make up the whole. You take the s'>. I say, and don’t, mention it.— Hartford Sunday Journal.
