MEN GREW UP WITH THE JOB
Neishbor Explains to Mrs. Timkins
How Contractor and Assistants
Got Into Little Wagon.

Mrs. Timkins was telling her neigh
bors how she had been betrayed.
You know" she said, I'VE had
that man up from Newark to look at
the big dead tree that's going to fall
some day and cut through our house,
starting at the roof and not making
any stops till it reaches the cellar
He estimated that it was about fifty
feet to the first branch, and he talked
as through he had ladders, derricks
and hawsers enough to move the
Washington monument.
Then he went away and wrote us
a letter making bid on the job. We
accepted the bid. Then month went
by.
Yesterday he came in a little
wagon about two by four, scarcely
more than baby carriage. He had
some ropes and four men besides him
SELF But no ladders. When he found
that none of his four men would climb
up the first branch and fasten the
rope, he said he couldn't take the tree
down.
His ridiculous little wagon! ]
don't see how those five men ever got
into it, even themselves"
Maybe they were boys when they
started" said Neighbor Jones.-New
York Evening Post.
