DIDN'T PUSH 1T OVER.
A Crank Resists Temptation ut tho Wash.

is not so attractive to them as the great

faces of friends in the stones; but per-

happened down there the other day.
When the Waterman first observed
him he was leaning heavily against the
shaft, apparently pushing with all his
might-at least, he would push for a
while, and then he would walk around
to the other side. apparently to see if
there were any people there. The
Waterman watched this proceeding for
a while and then accosted him:

the man; then, with immense dignity.
