A New Way Of Filing An Account

A NEW WAY OF FILING AN ACCOUNT

It is stated that Judge Watkins got the real thing when he rather forcibly reminded, the other day, a certain lax guardian over a minor who has an estate that arises to the princely proportions of $44, that it was time to how all proceeds.

The woman who had been appointed guardian brought in a small bundle and laid it upon the judge's desk. He unwrapped it and found that it contained nothing but a girl's soiled dress.

"I don't want this," said the judge. "Well, you demanded of me to show everything that had been received and paid out during the year for that child. That dress is what has been received and you must look at it whether you want to or not."

It was a new way of filing an account and the judge hopes that some administrator who holds over some extensive rural estate will not follow the precedent and drive all the live stock and farming implements into his office every time an accounting is asked for.
