The Value of Cashiers,
An Onlo merchant who kept three
clerks, each one of whom made hisown
change and had free access to the
money - drawers, was the other day
csked by a commercial traveler why he
did not keep a cashier to receive all
maneys,
“Cost Loo much,” was the reply.
“But wre your clerks honest?’’
sPorfectly honest.”
& Have youany objection to my try-
ng the?"
“Certainly aot; go ahead in any way
you wish.”
The traveler went away, but in about
threes hours he returned and said in a
loud voice so that all might hear:
“When I was here this forenoon I
paid you a bogus quarter by mistake,
in ease you find it in counting up to-
night, lay it asde and Pll redeem it."

the merchant, book a position where

expensive than the slower ones,”
“hat seems rather illogical,” replied
the reporter. “One would naturally

“The explanation is in the consump-
tion of coal. The faster steamers use
from 125 to 130 tous of coal per day,
while the slower steamers use only about
60 or 70 tons per day. The distance to
Southampton is about 3,100 miles, and
our faster steamers make the trip across

slower steamers make it in the neigh-
borhood of ten days.”
