in the employ OF firm Of wh0Iesale grocers
on Beaie street.
The young man in question proved HIM
self too fresh 10 the young females ena-
ployed in the factory on one Of the upper
floors Of the establishment. and they ac-
coniisgiy taught him : lesson which he
viii undoubtedly remember for some
months to come, as viii also his associate
male employees.
During the working hours Of late the
fresh young man had been tormentsng the
females IA various WAYS. and their repeated
polite requests 70 him to desist have, Il
seems, only encouraged him to continue 81
he saw fit. One Of his modes Of torment
was 10 rub q paste brush oTer the door
knobs. chairs and other things which the
females were wont 10 use. The result was
that they got themselves covered with
paste. sosled their dresses, and were
forced 10 use the greatest pEecaution IN
travelling about the factory in order 70
avoid being tricked by the fresh young
man.
Matters got worse and worse, but his
tricks we're tolerated rather reluctantly by
the females, until one day this week, when
the fresh young man gained admission to
an apartment used by the females, and APP
piled his pastebrnsh literally 10 certain
portions Of t. Shortly after the noon hour
had arrived the females were observed cen
versing in low bat angry tone in dis
tant corner of the factory.
Later Developments proved that they
were waiting for the fresh young man to
return from lunch.
He returned, bat he has since wished a
hundred times that he hadn't.
He put IN an appearances As the clock
was about to strike /. and as he relieved
himself OF his street coat TO prepare for his
AFTERNOON work, the females, numbering
about dozen. were observed 10 be qEietly
sauntering up toward his desk. A deter
mined took was upon all their faces, and
many OF the male employees about the fac
tory began TO suspect that something was
about to happen.
They were about correct in their suspic-
ion, for, as the females neared the fresh
young man, they suddenly pouneed upon
him and bore him 10 the floor, and without
saying a word, commenced barring the SKIN
on various portions of his body. Accom-
plishing this. several OF the females began

The fresh youngsnan kicked and bawled
so that he was heard on the street below,
but the females continued their FASTING
operations. Having covered one side OF
him. they turned him over and dexter
ousIy applied the brush again, while the
fresh young man continued to bawl, and
his companions were nearly bursting their
sides with laughter. aua shouting words OF
encouragement TO the plucky females.
Having satisfied themselves with this
work the females turned the fresh young
man over on his face and sat on him three
at d time while the others held bis hands

Paste dries rapidly and in ten minutes
this fresh young mans skin and under
clothing we're 10 all appearances one.
Half an hour later found the previously
fresh young man standing Ike a raw re-
cruit forcing his 4est battle in the presence
OF his employers, reciting the facts Of the
assault upon hinH He. however, failed 70
make an impression further than that he
was a fool, and at the suggestion Of his
EMPLOYERS be repaired % his home and
changed his clothing.
The young females have since had no
occasion 10 complain of their surround

peaesably, while the heretofore fresh
Young man has subsidized and is now as
polite as q Partisan waiter.
