A Detroit grocer who has little time
10 study human nature, and who'd save
money if he only had little more time,
wrote a note TO several parties selected for
the occasion 10 the effect that he had lost
his account-books and must depend upon
their honor TO call and give in the balance
against them. One Of them replied that
he presumed he owed three or four dollars,
when the books showed that he owed SOS !;
another thought there might be q possible
balance against him, though he had been
very careful to pay cash down, and yet his
account was Sl4 and over, Out of twelve
or fourteen customers, the grocer found
one who replied that he owed $3.50, be
ing fifty cents too much. He then
wrote to each that he had found his
books, and sent statement Of account, and
as they dropped into the store one nj a
time, each laughed, shook hands, and
remarked:
