| The Noser And The Note
THE Head Rifler of an insolvent bank, learning that it was
about to be visited by the official Noser into Things, placed his
own personal note for a large amount among its resources, and,
gaily touching his guitar, awaited the inspection. When the Noser
came to the note he asked, "What's this?"
"That," said the Assistant Pocketer of Deposits,
"is one of our liabilities."
"A liability?" exclaimed the Noser. "Nay, nay,
an asset. That is what you mean, doubtless."
"Therein you err," the Pocketer explained; "that
note was written in the bank with our own pen, ink, and paper, and
we have not paid a stationery bill for six months."
"Ah, I see," the Noser said, thoughtfully; "it
is a liability. May I ask how you expect to meet it?"
"With fortitude, please God," answered the Assistant
Pocketer, his eyes to Heaven raising - "with fortitude and a
firm reliance on the laxity of the law."
"Enough, enough," exclaimed the faithful servant of
the State, choking with emotion; "here is a certificate of
solvency."
"And here is a bottle of ink," the grateful financier
said, slipping it into the other's pocket; "it is all that we
have." |

requested, ", which is this one?"
"This one," said the aid of Pocketer of the
deposits, "is one of our responsibilities."
"A responsibility" Noser shouted. "Nay, nay, of
the capital. It is which you to say wanted, without no
doubt."
"In him movement you," Pocketer avowed; "this
note was written the red and the paper in the bank with clean ours
feather/spring, and we did not pay a calculation of the mill of
paper by six months."
"I, saying ", considers ampèreheure Noser,
carefully; "it is a responsibility. I can request, hope like
you to solve it. "
"With fortitude, happy Deus,", answered additional
Pocketer, his to the eyes to the sky of the increase -
"fortitude and a firm confidence in laxity the law."
"Enough, enough," they shouted reliable civil
employees of the condition and they were blocked with the
sensation; "here a certificate of the solution."
"And here a red of the bottle," the recognition of
the financing admits it like, within the other purse slips;
"they are possessions we all."
