the right way of packing a sponge

Here is a story that ]. o. Cheno-
Heth tells on William Grafeman, the
ee cream manufacturer:
Grafeman had been having engine
!rouble with his motor car, and after
each trip to the repair shop the same
trouble recurred, only worse.
Finally, in desperation, Grafeman
,ailed on his friend, Emil Gartner,
who owns a machine of the same kind,

md see If he could find out what was
wrong. Gartner carefully inspected
he engine and listened to it's ca-chug,

In the Good Old Days.

The lobster was not always the
aristocrat of the supper table and the
mos costly of delicacies. A man who
used to live in Maine, but now lives
in Ohio has this reminiscence:
"One day here in Cleveland took
2 friend out to luncheon, and sud
denly the old appetite for lobster came
back to both of us. as we were both
born on the Maine coast.
We had two full portions and the
bill was $2.20 And yet as a boy I've
seen my father standing on the wharf
bargaining with o fisherman for his
lobster catch OF the day, and often
for 81 I've seen the lobster fisherman
turn over to my father the entire
catch, and the whole boatload, 2bO or
300 big black Holsters, perhaps, would
be dumped on the landing and taken
back on our old farm as feed for the
pigs. Cleveland Leader.
