A certain saloon keeper In the North
End yesterday morning while cleaning
out his water pipe, dropped clothes pin
A. N.st ,s.ts, <<.u and for N
plumber, he called upon four young men
who were in the saloon at the time to
help him to get it out. They
very willingly consented. After
working on the pipe for about half an
hour they failed to find it. One Of the num-
Der, more cunning than the rest, hit upon a
plan whereby they might get four beers,
and the clothes pin; so whispering to his
friends he told them to keep up the
search, while he went into the back yard,
where he found pin on line, dipped it
into pail of water, then went down into
the cellar of the saloon and threw 1t near
the outlet of the water pipe. Going up
stairs he suggested that the clothes pin
might have gone through the pipe. The
proprietor said he never thought OF that,
sothey Immediately repaired to the cellar,
where OF course they found the clothes
pin. Inside OF three minutes four large
schooners stood on the bar. Four thirsty
young men drank them, but the clothes
N is in the pipe still. The next time the
saloon keeper drops clothes pin down
the water pipe he will send for plumber.
The News Bread Bureau.
At the distributing agency in Dimond's
store North End about 500 loaves were
given away this morning. Promptly at Q
o'clock nearly zoo people were congre-
gated around the Randall street door.
They were composed OF all sizes and
natioaalities their ages varying
from four years up to eighty. They car
RED baskets OF all shapes and sizes. Could
those who have kindly contributed TO
THE News Bread Fund, have seen the
poor, delicate, pale faces OF the little boys
and girls and the wrinkled faces OF the
old men and women, they could not
but feel satisfied in their hearts,
that they had been the means of keeping
the grim wolf from the door Of these poor
people. One old man who looked to be
about 20 years old, took nine loaves. A
German woman who lives i'm the
Wanskuck district, took fourteen
loavcs. She lives I'm house
where there are three families, fourteen
persons in all. No one working.
Another who lives in Geneva, a young
man about 30 years, one OF family
OF seven adults, is given 10 loaves day.
This is all they have to live on
as not one OF them have worked in over
three months. A respectable old woman
who lives on Hedley street, trembling
with old age and with tears in her eyes,
said she had three small grandchildren
and no one working. She was given three
loaves and sent away happy.
A Generous Act.
Saturday morning when Mr.. George A.
Rice was distributing the bread, num-
ber of employees of the screw factory
across the way We're gazing
curiously at the throng Of
people who were gathered in the
vicinity OF the store awaiting their turn.
One OF the employees, kind young man,
turned to his shopmntes and suggested
that they should do something for those
poor. In IS minutes he collected s21,
which he sent to THE News Bread Fund.
