He Was Transacting.
The accepted tradition that it is al

MASTERS Of good time was disproved
the other day, to the sense of one OBJ
server at least.
A transient boarding house keeper
had come up from Plainfield to secure
cook; he was a big man, and wore
gaudy tie and carefully buttoned
overcoat with cotton velvet collar
In the employment bureau five or six
people were waiting their turns, but he
had the floor The man in charge was
little, and spick and span; his teeth
were set so far apart that he sputtered
through them when he talked.
After every detail had been gone
over the big man said:
"Well, | knew my partner was up
here and made all these arrangements,
but passing thought I'd take look
You say the girl amt here this morn

"Well, get her out to US by Friday"

said the proprietor. pushing forward
a book in which every detail had been
written.

Here a tall lady rose and said she
would return later in the day, when the
agent might be disengaged, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. He
tried to call her back, but the big man
interfered.
"Women are impatient critters; any
