The Lightning Rod Mans Mis-
take.

Up IN DloSSpui =, lue oeuch N"y,
n lightning rod man drove up in
front of handsome edifce, stand
ing in the midst of trees and
shrubs, and spoke to Mr.. Summers,
who was sitting on the steps in
front. He accosted Summers as
the owner of the residence, and
said:
81 see you have no lightning rods
on this house."
NO." said Summers.
"Are you going TO put on any "
"Well, l amt thought of it, re-
piled Summers.
You ought to. A tall building
like this is very much exposed. I'd
like to run you up one of my rods
twisted steel, nickle plated tips,
glass tenders, everything complete.
May l put up one to show you! III
do the job cheap"
Certainly you may if you want
to. haven't the slightest ohjec-
tion," said Summers.
During the next half hour the
man had his ladders up and his as
sistants at work, and at the end Of
that time the job was done. He
called Summers out into the yard
to admire it. He said to Summers {:
"Now, that is all well enough,
but if it was my house, I'd have an
other rod put up on the other side.
There is nothing like being pro-
tccted thoroughly"
That's true" said Summers, sit
would be better"
an put up another-shall l y
asked the man.
"Why, of course, if you think
it's BEST" said Summers.
Accordingly the man went to
work again, and soon had the rod
in its proper place.
"That's first rate job" he said
to Summers, as they both stood eye
ing it. ~ like such a man as you
are. Big-hearted, liberal, not afraid
to put a dollar down for good
thing. There's some pleasure in
dealing with you. l like you so
much that I'd put up a couple Of
rods, one on the north and one on
the south end, for almost nothing
at would make things safer, /
suppose" said Summers.
Certainly it would. l better do
it hadn't hey I"
"Just as you think proper" said
Summers.
So the man ran up two more rods
and then came down and said tc
Mr.. Summers
"There-that's done. Now, lets
settle up"
''Do what ;"
"Why, the jobs finished, anC
now I'll take my money"
"You don't expect me to pay you

"Of course l do. Didn't you tel
