certain Chicago contractor made up
his mind, so the story goes, to make an
offer Of $1,000 for the Delaware Building
at the Worlds Fair He found, however,
on taking measure, that the building is
more than "a feet wide which is the width
OF the Chicago streets. To move the build
ing he would have TO take down and then
replace the lamp posts and telegraph poles
along the removal route. This would have
entalled too much of an expense so he
gave up the idea OF purchase.

"When I wal, fishing in the West

along and carried off my vest that was

It had my watch in it-and tailor's
account. Well, the whole outfit sailed
out of sight in less than minnie.
''Seven years after, a party OF us
were camped on the same river, only

my turn to do the cooking, SO I started

log which caved in, and there lay my
watch with that same old tailor's bill
twisted through the ring. 1t was still
running"
''Oh, come off You want us to ask
how such a thing could be, and then
you'll explain that the whirlwind
wound your watch up so tight that it
ran for seven years.

HouAs OF WORK IN EACH LAND,

United States Is Near the Last with 3O8
Days in Year.
The following figures, compiled by
Polish statistician, show the standard
number Of working days per annum in
various countries. says the London
Spectator:
The inhabitants of Central Russia, as
might be expected, labor fewest days
in the year-namely 267. Then comes
Canada, with 270; followed by Scotland,
with 275; England, 275; Portugal, 2s3;
Russian Poland, 2ss; Spain, 290; Aus
tralia and the Russian Baltic provinces,
295; Italy, 29s; Bavaria, Belgium,
Brazil and Lu1emburg, 800; saxony,
France, Finland, Wurtemburg, Switz-
erland, Denmark and Norway, 302;
Sweden, 304; Prussia and Ireland, 305;
United States. 306; Holland, 3OS; Hun
gary, s12.
It will be observed from this that,
while the Canadian workman has only
to toll statutably, 270 days out of 365,
he frequently crosses the boundary
line into the United States, where he
is expected to work 306 days. The
Irishman and the Prussian are in the
same category. with 505 days or thirty
days more than the Fnglishman and
Scotchman.
