WHERE LITTLE THINGS COUNT.

Bookkeeping has been reduced to such
an exact science in the big metropolitan
banks that the clerks are expected TO
strike a correct balance at the close of
each days work, no matter if the tram
sactions run into the millions Of dollars.
When the books fail to balance, the
whole force of the bank is put to work
to discover the error, and TO clerk starts
for home until it is discovered, whether
it amounts to two cents or $1,000. Gen
orally quarter of an hour will bring
the mistake to light, but sometimes the
hunt is kept up until late into the night
Such search was being conducted in
a New York bank located in the vicinity
of wall street. Forty-five cents were
missing. At six O'Clock not "a trace OF
the Grant sum had been discovered.
Dinner was sent in for the whole force
from an adjoining restaurant, and after
half an hours rest the search was again
taken up. Midnight came, but still no
clew, so sandwiches and coffee were
served. "Hello!" said q clerk. The
Blank National people ara working to-
night too. Guess they're in the same
box"
Sure enough, the windows of the bank
across the street were brilliantly lighted.
The incident was soon forgotten when
the wearying hunt after that elusive
forty-five cents was resumed. Shortly
after one O'Clock in the morning, as they
were about to give up for the night, q
loud rapping was heard at the front
door of the bank.
