HOW HE DID 1T.

The neat young man who always
reached the office before the doors were
opened was much disconnected when he
saw that the young man who was al
ways late had got down in time.
"Must have stayed up all night, he
remarked sarcastically, as the young
man who was always late took off his
coat.
"Nope," replied he: "went to bed at
1880"
Somebody must have dragged you
out, then, was the retort.
Then there was prolonged silence,
and the boss came in and conversa-
tion was out of the question for the
rest of the day. The next morning
found the young man who was always
late again on time, and the neat young
man, who always reached the Office be-
fore the doors were opened, was still
more disconnected.
"Out again all last night?' he said.
"Nope,'' said the other: ''went to
bed at l0;30n
The next morning, and the next, and
then the next, the same thing happen
ed. The neat young man could stand
1t no longer, for he had held the record
as the early conner.
Say, how do you manage to get
down so early?" he asked, and asked
pathetically, too.
Nothing easier" said the other
I've got the greatest scheme-beats an
alarm clock all holler.''
TEL me-" said the neat young man.
Nothing easier. Just write mysel
postal card every night, mark it i'm
portant, and the letter carrier wakes
me up TO give it TO me.
The neat young man went back to
his desk and started add ing where he
had left off.

WASHINGTON BUSINESS METH
DDS,

Two business men were walking
along South Washington street one
afternoon, says the Washington Star,
when the appearance of a small color
ed boy caused one of them to remark
THAT boy has been sold and payed
Tor as many times as he has fingers
and toes.'
You don't mean it," inquired the
other.
II do, indeed'' came the answer,
and can prove it,"
He explained that the boy had been
IN the employ of huckster for many
years, and that the lads employer
made specially of handling potatoes.
1T was not an unusual thing for him
