now a Clever Merchant Kiued I've
 Birds With One stone.
 Recently a wealthy merchant in Par. ls who does an extensive business with Japan was informed that a prominent firm in Yokohama had failed. but the name of the firm be could not learn, though he was most anxious to aseef. tain whether it was the one with which be dld most of his business in that city.
 He could have learned the truth by cabling. but instead he went to the man. a well known banker. who had received the news and requested him to reveal the name of the firm to him.
 That's a very delicate thing to do,'' replied the banker. for the news il not official. and if I save you the name I might Incur some responsibility"
 The merchant argued. bat in vain, and finally he made this proposition; q will give you" be said. "a list of ten firms In Yokohama, and win ask you to look through lt and then to te1 me. without mentioning any name, whether or not the name of the firm which has failed appears in it Surely you will do that for mel"
 Yes" said the banker. for lf I do not mention any name cannot be held responsible ln any way"
 The list was made. The banker looked through lt and as he handed t back to the merchant said. '-rhe name Of the firm which has failed is there"
 'Then I've lost heavily" replied the merchant, "for that Is the firm with which I did business" showing him a name on the list.
 But how do you know that is the Arm which has failedY' asked the banker In surprise.
 "yery easily" replied the merchant "Of the ten names on the list only one Is genuine. that of the Arm with which did business. All the others are hcti- tious."
