Among the Glassworkers.

The frequent wage advances which
the window glass workers have been
getting of late-on paper-puts us very
much in mind OF the opossum which
Uncle Josh caught and cooked, but that
some visitor ate while he was asleep In
his cabin. Josh had put the 'possum on
the fire and then lay down and went to
sleep. His visitor, who came along
about the time the 'possum Was done,
knowing Josh TO be a very sound sleep
er, helped himself to the 'possum and
piled the bones around the feet OF the
sleeper and then kindly creased the
lips and hands OF Uncle Josh with the
'possum skin. When the darkey woke
up, he not only smelt 'possum but saw
the bones piled up, looked at his greasy
fingers and tasted 'possum fat on his
lips. But putting his hands on his
stomach, he was heard to say, "Well,
I'll be condusted ef dat 'possum didn't
do me the leastest good Of anything |
eva did eat"
What "a majority of the window glass
workers stand most in need of just now
