Conscience Speaks by Phone.

OnSASuSC NPVoAS ~ hOnCs
A New York lawyer, gazing idly out OF
his window, saw sight in an Office across
the street that made him rub his eyes and
look again. Yes, there was no doubt about
it. The pretty stenographer was sitting
upon the gentleman's lap. The lawyer
noticed the name that was lettered on the
window and searched in the telephone
book. Still keeping his eye upon the
scene across the street, he called the gen.
tleman up. In few moments he saw him
start violently and take down the receiver.
EYES," said the lawyer through the tele-
phone, 81 should think you would start"
The victim whisked his arm from its
former position and began to stammer
something.
"Yes," continued the lawyer severely,
81 think you'd better take that arm away.
And while your about it, as long as there
seem to be plenty OF chairs in the room"
The victim brushed the lady from his lap,
rather roughly, it is to be feared.
"Wh-who the devil is this, anyhow"
he managed to sputter.
~, answered the lawyer in deep, inn
pressive tones, Fam your conscience! :"
And then he hung up the receiver.
