THE COST OF SHOWERS.
Power Company Men Jump When the

Timid women jump every time the

or half as high as the men response
BILE for the continuity of service and
maintenance of the property of an
electric lighting and power company,

to quiet her nerves after the shower
has passed over her own home, the
light and power fellow has to content
himself with guessing which part o
the line caught it that time until
the shower has passed out to sea.
Just to show that the life of the
electric light and power management
isn't all one glad sweet song consider
what happened to the Central Main
