A LESSON IN NERVE
FROM THE LAUNDRYMAN

when | came to open my bundle of
stun sent home from the laundry this
morning" said the bachelor man, II
found in it, sent back washed but not
ironed one shirt that had pinned TO II
q ticket reading like this:
We are returning this shirt on account
of It not being in a condition to with
stand ironing.
This was 4 new one to me. but when
I came to open up the shirt and looked
Il over / didn't wonder that they hadn't
tried to iron il; one arm was all but
torn from ats socket and there was a
hole punched through one euff, with a
tear extending from this hole for an
inch or two up the sleeve. The shirt was
sure not in condition for ironing, but
how did II get so2
Il certainly never sent II to The
laundry<in that shape. I'd have had
hard work tearing the sleeve out of the
shoulder the way this one was torn,
and | couldn't have made that hole
in the cuff without some sort Of a sharp
and big punch. Clearly the shirt had
been torn and mangled in that man
ner by being caught In the laundry ma
chinery. and so / wrapped 1t up in a
neat little bundle and took il over to
the laundry office, intending to make a
claim for The value of II. I spread the
shirt out on the counter and called the
clerks attention to IL and told him that
L couldn't have torn the shirt in That
manner, II must have been done in the
laundry. and how about ito
Wen says the clerk we made no
charge for it,
"As the significance of this came upon
me-they had torn my shirt all to pieces
but they didn't make any charge for IL :
4 staggered back. and l kept on stag
gering that way until had got out Of
the door.
Il shall never make any further claim
for the shirt. | got back far more than
its value In that lesson in clear, cold
nerve"
