'If you do that you'll do something we've all
been trying to do for a week. He's slippery
fellow and his people are all posted. However,
you may try it. You can afford to lose q little
conceit, and the lawyer smiled grimIy.
At 10 the next morning the office door was
opened and the bright young woman walked in
again.

too slippery for your Thought SOL

Miss Matte Was Not There.


Pretty Matte Fake was at one time the only
feminine station agent on the Southern Pacific
road. The road decided to uniform all its
agents, and the contract for making the cloth
ing was let to the Cowie Brothers. In order to
expedite matters Ned Cowie sent the following
telegram to oil the agents along the line:
Be on the platform when No. 10 passes. with nothing
on but your pants aud shirt.
Cowie was thus enabled TO measure the can
didates in short order and pass on. When 1s
pulled into Banning Cowie jumped of, looked
around and said: well, where's the agent?''
A stalwart youth. who happened to be Miss
Fakes brother, stepped up and asked if he was
the man who sent the agent a telegram. Cowie
answered in the affirmative, and the fellow
started to climb him. 1t took half an hour to
explain matters to young Fake, but everybody
laughed so over the story that the company de.
cided to let its country agents continue to wear
overalls
