CHOOSING \ BOOK-KEEPER.

A frst-rate story is told of very prom.
inent man, who lived in Detroit forty
years ago, and who at that time owned
more steamboat stock than any other
man in the western country, besides other
wealth to large amount.
Like many of the pioneers who acquired
great riches, he was very ignorant in all
that books taught, but his learning was
more like wisdom, and in common with
many who have lived and passed away,
but left their mark behind them, he
knew what tree would make good shin
giles by looking at it.
He had, at the time of our story, just
completed splendid new warehouse at
Buffalo, and wanting a suitable clerk to
take charge of it, he advertised for one in
the papers. The next morning early n
candidate for the position presented him
sel-a rather too ilashy young man in APP
pearance, but the following conversation
occurred:
Young man, when you make mis-
take in any of your books, how do you
correct it?''
The young man explained, in very
profuse manner, how he should proceed
to make it all right.
"A good way, no doubt, to do it," re-
piled the old man "but l shan't want
you"
Very soon another aspirant put in an
appearance. A similar question was asked
him, and in n long and eloquent manner
he pointed out the remedy in such cases.
All the reply was, Young man, l
shan't want YOU"
Some three or four others dropped in
during the day, and to each one the same
question was put, and all had some smart
way of covering up errors in their books.
The old gentleman was entirely igno-
rant himself of the art of book keeping,
but he had wisdom in all things, which
is more than match for learning.
Just at the close of the day plainly
dressed man, with a bright eye and II
brisk step, called for the situation.
"Take seat, sir" said the old gen
tleman. I" want to ask you just one
question. When you make n false entry
on your books how do you go to work to
correct it?'
Turning upon his questioner n cold,
sharp look, the young man replied:
81 dont maize those KIND Of mistakes,
SIR"
"Ah my dear sir, you are just the
man have been looking for all day."
and in few moments the man who cor
rcctcd his blunders by not making them
was installed in the office.

RAILROAD HUMoR.-These financial
ways that are dark remind us Of II capti-

" The Travellers Revenge a Romance
Of the Railroad" Once upon time some
resident upon the line of an Eastern road
took umbrage at his treatment by its Of
licers in the matter of a slain COW or an
overcharge on freight. Thereafter he
persisted in refusing to buy ticket at
the ticket Office, and invariably paid his
fare on the train, proceeding which in
volvcd an extra ten cents on each Occa-
sion. AS he was almost II daily passen-
ger this proceeding excited the curiosity
Of the conductor, who one day said:
Z" Why don't you buy your ticket at the
Office? 1t would save you money and
me deal of trouble"
" | dare say" said the passenger, look
ing up dryly; "but I've got spite
against this company, and I've taken an
oath that they'll never see cent Of my
money! ~

ACCIDENTAL INSURANCE. - Between

at the same time exhibiting some Of his

your life against accident ?'
"I'm going to Oshkosh TO visit my
darter, who's married up there, and has
got II baby"
The agent raised his voice little.
would you like to insure your life
against accident ?"
"She's been married two years and a
half, and that's her first child. 1t is II
GAL"
Agent still louder.
Pm nm insurance agent, madam ;
don't you want to insure your life against
accidents ?"
"She's got along first rate, and is doing
as well as could be expected"
Agent, at the top of his voice.
Z" am an insurance agent, madam ;
can't insure your life against accident"'
"Oh, didn't understand you," said
the old lady. "No, her name is John
son; my name is Evans, and ! live five
miles from Kenosha."
