HIS DISAPPOINTMENT.

Last Saturday morning a business
man who has an office in a building
on Third street came down town and
entered his Office for the days grind.
To the young man who does clerical
work in the office, the ''old man. APP
peared to be feeling good about some
thing, he was more pleasant than
usual. He had not been in the Office
long until he turned to the young
man and said, James Ia name we
have adopted take a month off.
The young mans face lit up. He
had shaved through the past hot sea-
son and was beginning to fear that
winter would come ere he could take
his vacation. But here was the OPP
portunity. He was 50 tickled that
he began to dance a Salome dance
The ''old man. said, "Here, what
yer doin'Y" The Stenographer, who
is also janitor of the Office rooms, re-
piled by saying, Didn't you tell me
| could take month offP'' "Yes, :"
said his employer to-day is October
lst. Yesterday was the last of Sep
TENDER. You win notice that the
wall calendar still shows September.
Take month off and throw it in
the waste basket" An expression
which no words in the English Ian
guage can describe, settled DER the
young mans face.
Reader, you know both parties, if
we were to mention them. This is a
true story and will stand comparison,
so far as truthfulness is concerned,
with that other one which is to the
effect that Third street is to be
paved this fall
