The man in the big ulster had tapo
measure and was busy taking some meas
urements in front of his house, while the
man in the fur cap, who lived in the adj
joining house, looked on.
What are you trying to do?'' asked the
man in the fur cap at last.
Measuring, replied the man in the
big ulster grufdy.
''What for?''
The man in the ulster Strengthened up
and cast a whitening glance at the other.
''You know, - he said insinuatingly. II
guess have been cleaning part of your
sidewalk long enough
''Ratsl'' returned the man in the fur
cap. Il guess know where my walk ends
and yours begins, and clean right up to
ihe line I marked every time it SHOWS.
The man in the ulster said nothing
more until he had finished his work with
the tape measure Then he pounded a lit
tie stake into the frozen ground with the
remark:

For about a cent, ;" said the man in the
fur cap, breathing hard, I'D take you by

you left when yeu made your last bluff at
cleaning it,
You're the smallest, meanest man 1
