Contractor Robt. BROKER was
an irate man for a few moments
Thursday. Inspecting things in
the top of the dome at the court
house, his attention was attracted
to small boy in the street below
Justify calling to him. He en-
deavored to understand the youth
but could not and after a few
futile attempts to learn what was
wanted, took time and trouble to
descend and ascertain the object
of the boys calling. His ire can
be imagined when he learned that
all the youngster wanted was the
lone of a brick for his father to
warm his feet by on contemplated
trip.
