Ee Couldn't Tell Which. One of the
leading business men of the city, so the
story runs, after returning home from
thestate capital the other day, was
looking over the big ledger aeeouuts
when his critical eye caught sight of
nil uuitemized account of 40 cents.
"Look here," said he, "turning to the
bead book-keeper, "whut is this forty
cents for?" "I don't remember," said
tlie book-keeper, "whether It is for

salary." The boss uidu't press his
