through the telephone for his services,
and TO make sure that no JOB gets
away. has provided himself with corps
of capable assistants who are always
on the alert when the telephone bell
rings.
This man had just returned from a
long railroad trip, and as soon as ne
swallowed a cup OF coffee made straight
away for the bathroom, and he was no
sooner In the tub, when one OF his as
sfstants knocked on the door and inform
ed him that he was wanted at the phone.
This looked like business, and he was a

somewhat surprised 10 hear this over
the wire. is thfs Mr." Yes was the
reply well this Is Mr.-of the-,is their
anything new?"
The professional man was mad snap
ned out the word mo slammed the re-
oeiver into its proper place, said small
-werd- or -twn-spit- While. ana went
back TO the bathroom.
In less than fSe minutes, there was an
other rap az the door and out jumped
the professional man from the bath-tub,
and To- the call was similar 10 that or

from another source.
This time he was mad and II the pret-
ty. good natured and ever obligng corps
OF Telephone girls happened TO have

fallen from their chairs. II must be
understood that any one OF the assistants
IN the employ OF the professional man,

parture Now the Hebrews did not
relish the fact that some other peddler'
who might come into the village alone,
and would make q small fortune on the

cash. but Instead OF doing so told her hus-
band. who went out the back door. think
ing that he could get around to the front
door. where the young man stood. Ihe

will he one young man shy on West
minister hill for week or two.
