Clever Boy.

AS it happened, the boss was talk
ing 10 customer when boy came
in. Thinking he wanted to buy
something, he excused himself, and
going over to the boy asked him
what he could do for him. The boy
td4d him that he came in answer to
his advertisement and asked for the
job.
Well. of course, the boss got mad
by being disturbed while he was talk
ing to a customer He said to the
boy you go outside and walk a
blnek. If call you back. why, /
will hire you; if / don't, why, you
just keep right on walking" IA
The boy did as he was told, but
going out, he picked up shovel that
was standing near the door. put it
on his back and started down the
street.
Before he had gone ten feet away
the old man was after him, yelling:
Come back! Come back!''
The boy came back, took off his
coat, asked where he wanted him to
wark-downstairs or upstairs, or
where.
The man took one good look at
him and said Il guess I'll hire you.
Never mind putting your coat on.
Start right in.''-Judge. ,9.

Retreat? Never.

In an Irish garrison town theat-
rical company was giving perform
ances, and SOME soldiers from the
local barracks were engaged to act as
supers. Their duties included the
waging of a fierce fight in which, at
terra stirring struggle, one army was
defeated on given signal from the
prompter. For few nights all went
well, but on the Friday evening a
special performance of the piece was
to be given under the patronage of
the Colonel and other officers of the
garrison. The two armies met as
usual at the end of the second act,
when they fought and fought and kept
on fighting, regardless of the agon-
lied glare in the eye of their (actor)
general, who hoarsely ordered the
proper army to Retreat, confound
you!" But the fight still went on,
and soon the Mortified manager saw
the wrong army being driven slowly
off the stage, still fighting desperate
ly. Down came the curtain amid
roars of laughter, and the tuning
manager fastened to ask the delin-
quents why they had failed to retreat
on hearing the signal

Sweater Coats.

The automobile is where the new
long sweater coats. or coat sweaters,
are best appreciated. They are light
to carry or wear. take up no room,
and are most acceptable If suddenly
changed plans find one considerable

ing. And there is a wicked delight in
being perfectly comfortable as one

Geonetrical Problems.

1t may interest readers to know
that the problem Of the square and
triangle can be solved very easily il
the required number of pieces is five,
instead of four. Those who do not
know that solution may like to try
for it.
Here is something that is going to
make trouble, sure as fate. The
thing is not so much to find the an
swer as to prove it.
Electricians are usually pretty lib
8eral with their wire, but just to edu-
cate his assistant a bit one of them
took the boy into a room which was
forty feet long, fourteen feet wide
and twelve feet high. There were no
openings or offsets on the two ends
or on one side. Here is the way it
looked;
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1909-09-03

"A wire had been tapped at 4, one
foot from the floor, and exactly in
the middle of that side of the room
seven feet from each wall. 1t was
necessary to carry wire from there
to the point B, which was exactly in
the middle of the opposite wall,
seven feet from each side, but two
feet from the ceiling
This wire might be run along the
floor, the walls or the ceiling. What
was the shortest cut the wire, could
take from A to B, and how do you
prove it? In your answer, if you
cannot draw, call the possible 1oca-
lions for the wire; the floor. the side
wall, the A wall, the B wall and the
ceiling. The wire must pass over
some of those five. New York Sun.
