"Do you see that bookcase there"
said the committee secretary. Il cals-
cd the carpenter to paste some cloth
on the inside of the grass doors in order
that the books might not show. He
did the work, but when he had finished
l noted that he had not cleaned the
glass before he put the cloth ON. The
thing looked so disrcputablc that |
asked him why he had not cleaned the
glass. He told me that the glass was Il
permanent fixture and that he had no

the province of his labors. The whole
things cot to be done all over again.
