Do you suppose the head clerks of our de-
partments drive their wives and sweet
hearts around in one-horse drays
Foreman-Do look like a fool Don't
some of EN- have both kinds and when
only spoke is sent down, how's fellow
to know which kind they are out of?
Messenger-Oh. see, your heads level.
Hurry the thing up. It's wanted before
the holidays, when there's nothing to do,
and plenty of time to splurge around on
the avenue bright afternoons. And then
their New Years calls, you know.

don't seem to have affected your business.
Saddler-No indeed There will be no
panic for us as long as the Treasury re-
serve holds out, but that's got down to
seventeen millions, | hear.
Mcsscnger-Ihat's so, but | hear EN-
talk up there about getting in enough more
from taxes before that's gone TO keep things
moving lively.
