Insurance Mans Oil.

A few days ago an insurance
agent, who has -beenexercising
his privilege in this city, chanced
to see oil on puddle ofwater as
heswas passing alotg Tie walk
just north. of the college. He
claimed to be ain eil~expert and
felt in his heart that be had
made a great discovery. Hasten
ing to this city, he hunted up a
gentleman IN whom he had the
utmost confidence, and after
swearing him to secrecy until
the "great discovery" could be
secured with the necessary fling,
ETC., told of fortune that was
awaiting him. The insurance
agent offered his friend a half
interest in the discovery, pnevid-
ed said friend world assist him
to boom the proposition.
The curiosity Of the-fTiend
was aroused and he proposed
that they go out Ito the scene of
the discovery" This they did.
On arriving at the telI-taie phd!..
die it took no. oil expert 10 see
that the surface of the water was
covered with a fine quality of OIL
Investigation proved that the Oil
came from a sewer that carried
the refuse from the o. "A. c. ma
chine shop. The enthusiastic
insurance agent was chagrined
and for perhaps the only time in
his history he:a was speechless.
In this manner did a "castleain
the air' burst. The "friend" is
still laughing over the affair,
while we understand that the i'm
surance agent has shaken the
Funoily" dust of this section
from his No. >os.
