Some time ago two hulking hoboes
who had just dismounted from a Cen
tral freight train asked Yonkers man
for a loan of 10 cents 10 secure some
food. He took them to a restaurant
and promised to provide them with
work as soon as they had finished eat
ing. When they reported for work. he
said: Boys, my cellars full of water
and | want you TO pump il out. I've
fixed these hand pumps right here on
the sidewalk. Never mind the people.
When they come along and ask ques-
tons, just you say nothing, but pump
till the waters out of the cellar. Keep
cool. Don't hurry, but pump, and |
will pay you we'll"
Now, tributary to the Nepperhan
river ran through this mans store cell
lar and out under the sidewalk. and the
pumps reached down into the river.
The water pumped out by the hoboes
ran into the sewer and back into the
Nepperhan, but as the sidewalk was
tightly tagged the bumpers didn't
know the size Of their job.
The street became damned with spec
tators, who rOared with merriment as
they watched the hOboes. All but the
men at the pumps knew what was up.
When the sun went down, it descended
on the wrath Of two Weary Willies,
armed with coupling pins. They hunt

'Tain't sense, is it? If you know

know that woman was your mother,
and there's one little fact you want to
tie TO all your life, because if you don't

was good woman if every other wo-

after she's mother, but there amt no

threw them viciously into the air.
Then he charged, but the horse, obey

avoided him, dashing past the infuri-
