Officials of the American Flint

an agreement whereby In the future

upon the fact that all lines OF manufac.

operators anticipating late orders dur.

This agreement. so It is stated BY

It only effects this year. X
On the same authority It Is stated
that while the abrogation OF the rule
may be Of advantage to some factories

there is no love lost between them.
Here was light delivery wagon
with a young man driver coming
around corner, while crossing the
street into which the wagon was turn
ing was boy. And the boy was not
looking out and he would have walked
right into the horses head If the driver
hadn't savagely hollered to him
Hey" and held his horse up short
Held up SO the horse sagged back
in the harness and that threw The
front ends of the shafts up, and then
the boy, who had never looked Up nor
swerved in his course in the slightest
degree, walked calmly ahead on un'lef
the ends of the uptilted shafts ind
under the horses neck, while the
driver glared at him and followed with
words in concentrated form intended
to show his deepest and bitterest con
tempt
And the boy? He never looked buck
nor turned around, but just kept his
way coolly on, ignoring the driver as
completely as II he had never been
born; and 1t is scarcely any wonder
that the feud keeps up when boys treat
the drivers so.
