A FLAT JEWELLERS THEORY.
After Going Through an Ice-MakfnE
Plant He Was Onto His
Steam HEATER

Mister said the man who had been go
ing through the plant where they make ar
tificial ice, III never forget this visit. I'm
much obliged to you. You have given me a
hint that'll probably be worth hundreds of
dollars in doctors bills
You don't say so."
Yes, sir. Now, let me understand It all
clearly. Those pipes carry the gas which
circulates all around the water and freezes
it Up, SO tight that any bouquets and things
that happen to be floating around can't pos
sibly get away until theyr re thawed out"
That's the scheme, simply stated
We'll, I'm glad to know about it,
It's very interesting process"
1T more than interesting. 1t shows the
way In which man will GO on thinking hard
of his fellow man, when mebbe it was all a
mistake. I'm glad to feel that have been
doing some one an injustice, and that can
go forth and candidly own up that was
bearing malice where it was not due"
Are you interested in an ice plant 80 in
quired the attache, suspiciously.
No. But I've studied temperature. All
I've got to do now is to call attention to
the mistake and have it corrected. That's
the kind of pipes the man got into our fiat
under the impression that he was putting

no dog, it's monkey"
It's dog, replied the clerk

proceeded to show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who insisted
on tve shillings for the dog ticket to London.
Naturally nettled at this, Buckiand
plunged his hand into another pocket and
produced tortoise, and, laying it on the
Sill OF the ticket window, said: Perhaps
you'll call that dog, too?''

The race for the Frank G. OKane cup
will not be included in the programme, as
the conditions require that IL be raced

of contests. Amateur drivers affirm that
more double teams have been in evidence
