The belated toiler read the queer notice
again. She was still reading it when the
industrious typewriter reappeared. hated
and Veiled, preparatory to going home
When she stopped to lock the door the be-
lated toiler stepped forward and accozted
her.
Pardon me- said the toiler. pointing
to the typewriter paper, will you kindly
tell ME the meaning of this?"
The typewriter smiled grimly.
Well" she said considering YOU ap-
pear to be a woman who is able to appre-
ciate a tale OF woe occasionally / don't

but it is salary and l am glad to get it,
Now. I'm not saying anything against my
employer Hes all right 1t isn't his
fault that he can't afford to pay higher
wages. It's his cousins and his brothers
and his bosom friends and his chance ac-
quaintansss that l am kicking about.
Unless you have had experience you
wouldn't believe how many men there are
in this town who get their typewriting done
for nothing. II Is an honest fact that there
are scores of them who carry on halfway
decent business through typewriter cor
respondence for which they never pay a
penny AS I said I have nothing against
my employer but must say that it certainly
is not TO his credit that those cousins and
brothers and friends and acquaintance
aforementioned belong to that class of i'm
posters. You see, my employers work does
not keep me busy half of the time (if 1t did

there is scarcely day that one of his i'm

Old Point Quarantine.

The business men of Old Point are
getting tired OF being shut off from the
rest OF the world ana yesterday petit
toned the Norfolk authorities 70 raise
the quarantine against that place. Th"
request WAS denied. Following is the
petition which was sent to Norfolk:
In View OF the fact that more than q
Week has passed since Norfolk quar-
antincu against Old Point and there has
not appeared Il single case of sickness
1T the Point TO Which suspicion could
be directed. and since the strictesl
quarantine is being maintained by the
health authorities here against phoebus.

nciS lborng towns. further prolonSation
Of the quarantine against Old Point
seems not only Unfair, but nnc!Shbor-
~. Therefore, representing the bust
ness interests of Old Point. respectfully
request the honorable Board Of Health
of Norfolk to raise the quarantine with
out further delay. We feel sure that
such action by Your board Will be
speedily followed by similar action by
Boards Of Health Of all other cities
having water Connection at Old Point.
