Just a minute, madam said the
landlord. II can save time for you.
l know the parlor isn't fit for a pig
to live in. the dining room wall paper
is a shock to people of refinement, the
kitchen walls are a disgrace, and the
back porch is a menace to life and
limb. I'm also aware that you won't
stay here another month unless the
barber-shop wallpaper in the back bed
room is changed to something in n
delicate pink, and I'm next to the fact
that you're ashamed to have people

Thank you very much" said the
lady meekly. You have saved me a

expected to have done, but was
afraid that l should have to make the
same old bluff to get that much out
of you."-Detroit Free Press.

W. H. Lewis, the colored Assistant At
torney General of the United States,
whose election to membership in the
American Bar Association has caused

ney General Wickersham. has been

publican Committee, has requested Lew
is services Of Attorney General Wicker
shaw. Lewis will stump the New Eng

where he is much admired. He will also
be sent into South Carolina and probably
Georgia, where Chairman Hilles expects
to capture the negro vote. Lewis left
for Boston yesterday, and upon his re-
turn will call upon Chairman Hilles in
