north Slde man tells this story. Last week he stood in front of his uncompleted flat building and chafed and worried as he saw the poky laborers go about their work as if the building wasn't to be turned over during the first week in May,
 The men who carried in the brick and tiling from the street were.especially annoy ing to the owner of the building. They moved about at a sleepy and turtle-like pace and did not appear to be worried in the least when their slowness was the cause of delay on the inside work.
 While the North Side man was watching them in disgust an Italian with a barrel organ halted just across the way began grinding out lively march. He had been playing for several minutes before the North Side man observed the marvellous effect of the music on the men who were carrying the brick. They came out of the house like circus horses in a grand entree, hurriedly filled their hods and then marched back into the building at double quick stepping high. The owner of the building went across the street and gave the lillian a quarter ill return for which he played lively tunes for half-horr. half-day's work.
 The next day the owner ran across an- other Italian and sent him over to the cor ner to play.
 The laborers didn't know what a mean trick had been played on them
