How He Got a Job.

JuQSe.
Walter Biller tells the following
story of a hardware store in St. Louis,
which advertised for an errand boy.
As it happened, the boss was talking
to a customer when a boy came in.
Thinking he wanted to buy something
he excused himself, and going over to
the boy asked what he could do for
him. The boy told 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 customer. He said to the
boy: "You go outside and walk a
block. If call you back, why, I will
lhire you; if l don't, why, you just
keep right on walking.'
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 and asked where he wanted him
to work, downstairs Or upstairs, or
where.
The man took one good look at him
and said: II guess I'll hire you. New
er mind putting your coat on. Start
right in. -

"Brains are employed in various
enterprises. They make bridges, rail
roads and other systems Of transport
tation. They also create capital, and
are used extensively in evading the
law. They mix with water and gaso-
line, but are absorbed by alcohol.
"BrainS are bought and sold in the
open market. They may be traded in
on the Exchange in Washington and
Albany or in other political centres.
The best quality, however, are not
traded in. Indeed, oftentimes they
are not even heard Of until long after
they have passed away"

An earnest plea was made by At
torney Charles Pettijohn to Judge
Pritehard, Of the criminal court, for
leniency to a client who had entered a
plea of guilty to larceny. The bur-
den of the attorneys argument was
that his client was the father Of twins
and was tempted to theft in order to
feed the mouths of the infants.
"Your Honor, I will say frankly ,;
said Mr.. Pettijohn in closing, "that
if were the father Of twins and need

hesitate to 60 out and steal it,
"Mr. Pettijohn, when you are the
father of twins I will consider your
proposition,'' said Judge Pritchard.
