Half a dozen workmen were painting

gardly disposition. These workmen
failed by various hints to induce the
old lady to provide the allowance
which they looked for at jobs Of that
kind. At last one man said: What a
fine collection Of pictures you have,
Mrs. Barker"
Yes, said the old lady, "but think
they would look much better if the
frames were cleaned up bit, but it
would cost me too much TO get them
done, I'm afraid"
ooh" said the man, "it wouldn't cost
you much. l think about quart OF
whisky would do the job. Whisky is a
fine thing for cleaning picture frames"
Would it really?" said the lady.

The whisky was brought and the lady
retired; the men said they would send
for her when the frames were done.
Left to themselves, they were highly
delighted at the success of their Tuse,
and lost no time in commencing TO
clean the frames, with soap and water,
and to drink the whisky at intervals.
At length, when beth whisky and pic,
lures were finished, they called the lady
to pronounce her opinion Of their handi-
work
Well how do you like them?" asked
one of the men.
