A Case In which 2 Cents Had to he Di
vided Into Eighteen Unequal Parts.

Few pcrsons outside Of the offices of
great corporations know anything OF the
care and minuteness with which the sys'
TENS Of accounts keep track of every detail

counts was illustrated the other day by an
anecdote told by an ex-diyision superin-
teridcnt of the Pennsylvania railroad re
gafding an item OF ? cents. Some one had
told of an outlay of something like 800 in
clerk hire ard other expenses made by the
United States government in collecting
and accounting for sum of ! cent, which
