CATCH PROBLEMS.
A Few That Worry the Merchants In
Idle Hours.

Little arithmetical problems with a
*'catch" in them are always fascinating
to the average man. No matter how
simple they appear, you will find the
banker and the broker disputing over
them on change or in the counting
rooms of the capitalists. Here are one
or two that have been floating around
among the business men of Cincinnati
for two or three weeks:
A banker found a ten-dollar bill: At
home he gave it to his wife, who paid
the butcher in settlement Of his ac-
count. The butcher paid it to the farm
er for calf and the farmer paid it to
the merchant, who in turn paid it to the
washerwoman, and she, owing the
banker note Of ten dollars, went to the
banker and paid the note. The banker
recognized the bill as the one he had
found and which up to that time had
settled $50 of debt. On careful ex-
animation he found the bill was counter
felt. OF course, the problem is: Who
lost in the transaction?
Here's another, but along q different
line, and they do say that men who are
way up in local finance were disputing
over the question on change, though it
is extremely simple: A man bought
horse and buggy for $110. The horse
cost 500 more than the buggy. What
did the buggy cost the owner? That's
easy, but don't go to work to figure it
by algebra. .~,.
There's one more, a very old one, but
it's good and not near as easy as the
others. A man went into a shoemak-
er's shop and bought pair of shoes for
five dollars. He gave the shoemaker a
ten-dollar bill. The shoemaker had no
change, but went to neighbor and got
the ten changed. He returned and gave
the purchaser his change, five dollars.
A short time afterward the neighbor
came in and claimed the ten was count
erfeit. AS he was right, the shoemaker
was compelled to make the ten good,
which heidi by giving good ten for the
counterfeit. Now, how much was the
shoemaker out in the whole transac-
tion?--Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
