By KENNETT HARRIS

The Janitor. uncomfortably attired
In his Sunday diagonals and stiffy
! starched collar, and chewing a badly
unraveled cigar which he had been un-
| able to light, appeared suddenly to his
Scandinavian assistant, who was in
dustriously tinkering the valve OF a
water faucet at the work bench.

the Janitor, sternly. "Monkeying

Washed it off at noon? Well, what If
you did? Don't you suppose it's been
walked on since then? Think every
body's going to turn off and take the
middle of the street just because you
slushed a little water on it one time?
You'll be telling me the grass was cut
last summer as an excuse for not run
ming the mower this year. What did
you suppose me and the estate is pay
ing you wages for?
Thought Id be pleased for once,
did you?" the Janitor repeated, with
glare Of increased severity. "See
here, Nels, my friend, when you talk
that way, it sounds like lip, and don't
like no lip from you. Get me? What
did you think was going to do? Take
you out and buy you drink? Give you

Temperlng the Water To . Lamb

There is a certain lawyer In this
city whose income from his practice
Is nearer 100000 than $4,000. SAYS
the New York Evening Post. He Is
known as the keenest and readiest of
cToss-examiners, and a man of pro-
found learning as well as common
sense. Yet he confesses that It took
one year for the fact to fash upon him
That he had been the victim of a most
egregious piece Of simple trickery.
This, his colloquy with the clerk in q
haberdashery store. will explain 1t:
Eminent and Brilliant lawyer

Small Clerk-Yes, jir. (Sorts ont

pensive, Is OF a heavy knitted kind.

Small Clerk-That Is for bathing in
climates where the water is very cold
sir. We sell many to persons who 20

Eminent and Brilliant Lawyer-Ah
It's lucky I learned this. I'll take the
heavy one. buys suit and walks out.
One year later the truth flashes on
him.

Broken Leg Set by Concrete,

A laborer in Columbus, O., had his
broken leg partially reset by the con.
crete which had been dumped on him
from a bucket. The blow Of the
bucket broke his leg. and the concrete,
flowing out, made a firm cast around
the limb. The doctors who finally
got to work on the broken bone had
drst to remove the concrete. and re-
port that the cast had done its work
very well. even helping to reset the
bone.
