It is a noticeable fact that al.
ready the Bryanite newspapers
have dropped the Porto Rico Tar
if law, over which they were max.
ing a large and conspicuous fuss
but few weeks ago. That no furth
or attempt will be made to use it
as a campaign issue is plain. The
more the Bryanites shouted for
free trade, the palmer it was made
that it WAS the trusts that desired
the immediate abolition of all du-
ties.-Albany Journal.

THE OFFICE BOY.


Telephone.
A local clergyman was downtown
one of the recent ultra-zero mornings,
and, desiring to call upon q parish
Toner whose place Of business Is on
Water street, he stepped into the Office
of another parishioner on the avenue
near Erie street, with the intention OF
calling up the Water street man by
phone and finding out how long he
would be in his Office, the pastor not
relishing the idea of the long walk in
the piercing cold.
The avenue parishioner was not in.
His Office boy had the big room all to
himself.
my lad" said the pastor, IT wish
you would call up Mr. Dash, main
'steen-naught, and ask him how long
he will be in his Office, and II he isn't
there find out when he will be in. My
fingers are so cold I don't think could
hold the receiver"
Eyes, SIR" said the polite boy. "Who
shall say wants to known"
REV. Mr.. Blank" replied the pastor.
as he drew up a chair beside the steam
radiator.
Pretty soon he heard the boy say:
"1s this main 'steen-naught?
There was brief silence. Then the
boy went on:
Eyes, yes. I've got 'em-Hullo! Is
the boss in?-what's that-Who's this
talking? Why, it's the Rev. Mr.. Blank.
No. Blank, Blank-What's the matter
with you, Lizzie? This Is the Rev. Mr..
Blank! Got It? Don't get funny,
grille. What do I want to know? Say,
I asked you that half al hour ago. 1s
the old man in? Who is 1t talking?
Well, I'll be jiggered! Now, take of
your earmuffs, Mabel, an do a little
listenin' act. This is the Rev. Mr.
Blank! Oh, you've got it now, have
you. birdie? So kind of you-yes, yes,
I'll forgive you this once. Now agi-
tate your Cinderellas> into the old
mans office an see If he's there. Yes,
tell him the Rev. Mr.. Blank is at the
phone and wants to know If he Is out.
Don't be idlin' round when there's
souls to save. Get hustle on you."
At this point the pastor got 80.
fdgety that he walked over to the
phone.
"Just hold on a minute. my boy" no
beseechingly cried.
But the boy waved him aside.
I'm getting him" he said.
Then he turned back to the phone.
"Who's this?" he cried. "Who? Mr..
Bunner? don't want you-yes. this
is the Rev. Mr.. Blank. Mr.. Blank,
Blank. Who's swearing? Don't get
fresh, Bunny. Yes, Rev. Mr.. Blank.
Yes Reverend, Preacher. you know:

in prayer meetin's. Got it? Yes, this
is him Is old Dash In? There, don't
get gay. What's that? Won't be back
forthree months? You amt kiddin''?
Well, that's all. Yes, it's quite enough
Funny Bunny. Byby."
And the boy slammed the receiver
into its hooks
Then he turned to the perspiring
clergyman and defferentially re-
marked:
:"Mr: Dash has just stepped out, sir,
an won't be back for three months!"
After this the worthy pastor will en-
deavor, whenever possible, to do his
own ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PLAIN

be given:

is that they build up HON indus
