The cashier of a certain firm had abb
seconded, and the staff of clerks were
deciding on a fit and proper person to
acquaint the head Of the firm of the
fact on his arrival.
Ultimately the matter was left In
the hands of the head clerk, possibly
because none of the others cared to un-
dertake the responsibility.
There had been a dogfight in the
street, and a small crowd was just dis
persing as the chiefs carriage dashed
up.
Whats that crowd after, JorkinsT"
demanded the head OF the firm.
The chief clerk thought he recog-
niZed a chance Of breaking the news
gently and seized 1t.
""The vacancy, sir" he replied.

"Cashier, sir"
"Rut we want no cashier. Jorkins."

last century. They wanted WATERFOWL

to make cotton cloth. and 1t was not
long until a woollen mill was estab-
