100 francs from a colleague wrote
saying that he inclosed a bank note
to discharge a debt. After the let

he had forgotten to put the money
in the envelope and accordingly call
ed on his friend to give him the
amount. The creditor, however, as
serted that the bank note had been
duly forwarded in the letter. There
upon the two demanded an explana-
ton of the postofice. 1t turned out
that an official had opened and read
the letter, and, finding no Enclosure,
supposed that he had lost it. The
authorities accordingly supplied
