For several weeks repairs have been
making to the tracks of the Mount
pleasant cars along Connecticut ave-

up on both sides of the track. Strong
men have been working there with
crowbars, sledges, picks and other
tools. At the ends and along the
sides of the repair work has been

red to warn of danger, but some Of

of those strange flags. He walked
over to a stalwart colored laborer,
who was cracking concrete In the

more practice. However, it happened
that Harry was blowing himself prodi-
giously the other night in the German
club and someone playfully inserted
flock of Bismark herring in the end
of his horn.
The possibilities of such a situation
will naturally suggest themselves at
once to the reader with an original
turn of mind. Picture to yourself a
Chopin nocturne embellished with
cadenzas and thrills of ripping her
ring flying all over the place. Imagine
List rhapsody with chromatic fish
scales flying about in a riot of in

OF course no one ever heard Of eth

alto horn, but that mere detail
shouldn't spoil the story. The thing
to be conveyed is the fact that some

dragging in the whole mess in clari.
