EXCHANGED COMPLIMENTS.
A few days ago there appeared a little
story about business man who, when
he was located IN the square was In the
habit OF removing the cover from the fire
hydrant near his place Of business when
an alarm from the box for that locality
was sent In, 30 that the fremen could
get 10 work so much the quicker.
Later he moved 70 a new store and
wnen an alarm was rung In he started
IN with his old custom OF taking of the
cover OF the nearest hydrant When the
nremen arrived on the scene they found
him working like a beaver and making an
snort 10 take the cover from a sewer
hole.
Later there was another story I'm this
column about four men. one OF whom was
pank clerk, who went to the south part
on the state for days fishing
one or the four by mistake found
when he was ready TO allure trout from
the brook. that his box OF bait consisted
OF nanoful OF barley, instead OF earth
worms.
Yesterday. the man who was found trv-
Ing 20 remove the cover from the sewer
hole' called at the bank and here ne met
the clerk who was connected with the
barley story. The sewer man with a
smile on his nace, asked the bank clerk
IL ne ever went trout fishing with bar
icy Tor bait The bank clerk did not
smile but looked the sewer fellow in the
face and replied, mo. never did; but
some Gay wben I'm not busy I will try
and see what l can do nshing I'm a sewer
hole Now, i guess that will make you
keep you seat for while"
The sewer man walked out and. as
soon as his back was turned, smiled and
so did the hank clerk.
IL Is well known fact that these In !
cidents happened TO all, but none are
over and above pleased TO have their
many friends alude TO them.
