FLY LEG FIGURES.

An exchange states that for several
months an expert accountant search
ed the books of a grain company in
st. Paul, Mimi, for an error of an
even 500. They spent much more
than 500 in trying to trace the mon
ey. And then, after having gone over
the books time and again, the ac-
countant's pencil CHANGED to stop at
an item of $40. The pencil point rest
ed on the figure l., when the figure
suddenly broke in two and slid down
the page. On examination it proved
that the supposed figure was a fly's
leg. The fly had undoubtedly been
crushed in the book when it was
closed. and one Of its legs had chanc-
ed to adhere to the page in such a
way as to make the entry of $40 APP
pear to be exactly 800 greater.

expect to have matters in such shape
as to be ready to open for business by
