Philosopher

By KENNETH HARRIS

As the janitor descended the stairs
from the corner apartment on the Sec

assistant busily polishing the handle
Of the vestibule door. The assistant
looked up with his usual amiable grin
and the janitor seated himself on the
lowest stair and cleared his throat
with his usual preliminary cough.
