LADDER UPON YoUR SHOULDER
%,i @i NJ watson, on Nelson street, has
oie nice little bill to pay. He sent a
s"n su' down town for pot of paint and a
iad ladder. The man got the paint, and
.lar .San went to a lumberyard after ladder:
Then 1 he tied the paint-pot on the end OF
.hs ladder, and put the ladder on his
.he sSoulder, This was a very smart ar
sno luoament and the man himself admired
i.l,srr much. He started for home this
h and didn't find any trouble in get
WY WY along the first block, because peo-
nLs uia had an impression that long ladder
pm p, q not of yellow paint dangling on

". ,r;as with, SO they balanced along on the
onrh.stone. or rubbed up against the
Su;ldinps. Pretty soon the man saw
oomebody in store he knew, and he
.,.ned around to speak to him, and

nscb,ns agents with the other end. Then
~ started TO turn around, and an old
Gentleman who was desperately endeav-
oring to pull his wife out OF danger, saw
tba psril. and shouted out: "Hi, there"
Bnt # was too late. The pot struck
against an awning-post, tipped to one
side. and the entire contents went over
tbe aged couple. This SO startled the
man that he whirled desperately around,
smashing in an entire store front, fright
eninp A milkman's team, and knocking
over some thirteen persons who were ac.
lively dodging about to get out of the
way. Then he dropped the ladder, and
fed into the country, shouting murder

recovered to be conveyed to jail in this city.
