about Brodwaiser He was as amiable
aid well-meaning little man as ever
wore felt insoles and a chamois leath-
Ell. chest protector. But people in
general hardly appreciated his good
qualities. The first time that Smith
ss.w him he was standing at the edge
OF a roadside excavation for gas pipes
watching the deliberate movements OF
a laborer who was ostensibly engaged
il throwing out gravel. AS Smith ap-
preached he heard Brodwaiser say:
IVY man. if you would grasp your
shovel with your left hand little
n carer the blade of your implement
you would find it better fulcrum for
tile leverage of your right and be en-
al,led to raise more earth with sub
siantially the same exertion.

Brodwaiser repeated his advice and

away in silent dignity. Smith felt
sorry for him and expressed his SYM

1t was a windy day and before they
had got very far a sudden gust re

rather out of breath when he rejoined

and as Smith came up he said: IF
were you I would buy one OF these

for a mere trife at any hat store. and
the expenditure is repaid a thousand
times by their saving of temper, to
say nothing Of the possibility OF the

The wind took it as he spoke and;
tent it careering down the street, final

he rescued it dripping with mud and
water. Smith could not help saying

delicate sarcasm. OF the remark. so
much so that when they arrived at
Smiths front gate he called Smith 5
attention to the fact that it creaked on
its hinges and recommended the ap-
plication OF sweet oil as a remedy for
the unpleasant sound
He was a near neighbor of Smith S
and soon after that first meeting he
called on Smith informally. as Smith
was wedding his flower beds. On that
occasion Smith became indebted to
his visitor for two pieces OF valuable
information-that tobacco burned be
meath a rosebush covered with cloth
or something Of that sort to keep in
the smoke had a discouraging effect
upon the plant parasites known as
green fly. and that a porch of suff
cient width on the west front of hi:
cottage would afford a grateful shade
against the rays of the sun in the
afternoons
He was a veritable encyclopedia O
knowledge at a loss for a lit
