the water so the pipes wouldn't freeze !"

it. Consequently there was a freeze
up. Poor girl! She is very sorry. II
tears would thaw the pipes she would
shed EN- by tho hundred"
s.And why does the man rush?"
'.He is on his way to the plumber for
consolation"
"And what win the plumber do?"
.He will show the man 14,678 calls
which were booked before he came in,
and which must be attended to in rota-
tion."
.sAnd will there be any swearingp"
There will. my boy! There viii be
swearing and stamping and growing
and blasting, but it won't be on the
part of the plumber. He will preserve
bis serene smile through it all. When
the other man gets out of wind he will
retire"
'.To his oflice?''
ooh, no! He will go off and buy him
self an alcohol lamp, have q druggist
fill it for him, and he will return home
to thaw out the pipes for himself. He
can thus make saving of several
thousand dollars, saying nothing of the
personal satisfaction Of getting ahead
Of plumber.
..And will he succeedp"
"Not by John Rogers! He will
crawl under the house, scalp himself on
the oists, ill his knees with rusty nails,
choke himself with the smoke, and
finally crawl out and give it up"
'.And wait for thawp"
..No, stree! He won't wait for any
thing. He'll skip down town for fur
niture van and move into another
house. That's where his head is level.
It's cheaper to move than to thaw out
frozen water-pipes. !" - Detroit Free
