4 simple little kiss, imprinted upon
the lips of a pretty typewriter in one
of the downtown Office buildings one
day last week, says the New York
Press, brought several fire engines and
hook and ladder companies racing To
the scene of possible conAagration, hur-

Tenants of the office building in ques-

Office in which she is employed the let
ter carrier devotes far more time to
picking out correspondence than was
absolutely necessary.
The postman was swinging along the
corridor the other day, his heart beat
ing trlfie more quickly than usual
as he neared the office where his
sweetheart is employed. Just then the
door opened and she came out The
couple walked along few steps to-

He succeeded in kissing her, but the
suddenness of the affair startled the
girl and she broke away from his en-

n small ladder, which fell against the
fire alarm box, smashing the glass and
pressing the electric button in full ac-
cordance with the printed rules.
The girl fled to her Office and the
postman disappeared around the cor

the fremen arrived they saw the broken
alarm and the PROSTATE ladder and
promptly summed up the situation as a
false alarm. They didn t know how

sequence all tongues IN that district
are waggiug. The wife of valet de
chambre gave birth TO child some
time ago. the mother dying not long
after. The midwife, hearing that the
birth of the child had not been de
clared, urged the father TO lose no
time in seeing the authorities about the
matter. The father. however, did not
seem to be anxious to comply with the
law in this detail. His reason Was n
very peculiar one. He had agreed to
sell the child for $40 10 the wife OF a
butcher as soon as the matter could
be arranged go that the butcher would
never know anything about 1T. One
day il became necessary for hlm TO go
away on business and the chlld was
brought to his house.
In the evening the wife went 10 her
rooms. and later it was announced that
she had given birth 10 a son. The
butcher was no doubt little surprised
at the event, especially considering the
fact that his wife was "a years OF
age. However, the idea of having a
SON flattered him: he welcomed the
stranger and the next day was delight
ed with the idea of going to declare
the birth of the infant. The registry
clerk perhaps made some inoPportune
remarks when the age of the mother
was mentioned for she had not only
had children by n previous marriage
but was actually grandmother.
In some way-some say through q
remark dropped by the midwife-th'
rumor spread thai some extraordinary
deception had been practlced and th'
valet de chambre, thinking that II
might turn to his advantage, resolved
10 inform the butcher of what had hap
pened. The butcher s wrath and dis
| appointment knew no bounds, and h'
| at once set to work procuring the serv
ices of a lawyer and ordering the pros
ecution of all concerned, The matter
however, now appears to he in fan
wav of settlement. The valet has tax
en- his son back, and the butcher vii
probably pardon his wife in couse
