A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING
men who 60 from house to house at this
time Of the year collecting the returns of
births, as is required by law, meet with
some queer experiences. One OF them
who was at work while ago in a neigh
boring city came to house owned by
two elderly maidens of means. The
hired girl answered his ring and he made
his usual stereotyped remark: II called
to zee if there were any births in this
house last year." For some reason the
domestic failed to understand him and
made this report to her mistresses :
"There is a man down stairs who wants
to know if you had any bursts last year" "
They hurriedly discussed the possible
meaning OF such query and concluded
it must refer 20 the water pipes. Then
one of the women went down to the door
and asked the canvasser if lie had au.
thority to ask such questions. He said
tha; he was acting under the law, where
upon she remarked: "Weli, we did have
little one here. but it was 30 slight We
