Norwich bulletin., 1916-12-07

square against the ceiling till 1t look ed something fierce, and 1 busted two finger nails and got blood blister do- ing 1t. Then. when I tried to collect the 30 cents for corner, she up and tol6 the agent I was a regular hoidup
 man.
 Well. she moved out a couple of | mouths ago and Mrs. Strout she two days before she sent for me and
 said she got to have that moldfng lowered because there wasn't q place to hang pictures from. Seems it's swell now to have pictures and she got a lot Of pictures Of great people on account of her husband being counsel in some city in Ttaly--Vienna. think she said.
 Anyhow, she got to have the thing put down again like it used to be and
 l had to do it. She said 1t was the | janitor's business to do odd jobs, and she gave me % cents, so l came out better nor before. I'm thinking of buying a bungaloo up in Newport, but my wife would say I was extrava- gant to blow it all, so may save some"
 s,Sensfble of you"
 Oh, Bills got sense, all right the l janitor agreed, calmly. Say. don't that bell give you the willies? That's Mrs. Loon,is calling and. I'm onte what she wants all right. She wants
 
 cts and hooks put in to hang her dresses on. Say, you know. there was 8 party in there last year that gave
 me dollar to put them extra shelves in. Yes, sir, she did! She wanted 'em in good and tight, so her child busted, so 1 nailed in about thous- and nails. Say, don't you see Bill having some fun pulling 'em out.
 A while back they was all keen to
 have plate rails to stick their extra china on, but las year they began talk ing them down. Mrs. Frost begun it and when the others seen her dining room they all begin to holler for me to come take theirs out.
 Tt made you think of a .ot of sur gical operations and the way they get to going. My wife she wasn't happy till she got her tonsils out because her sister said it made her all over new. I ain't slamming nobody when 1 say her sister needed making over a lot,
 but I ain't saving I seen any differ the other day and the doctor says it's tonsilitis, and I ain't figured it out yet.
 Well, anyhow. that's the very way they do here. If one lady wants her swing door fastened back they all got to have it like that. and if she wants the chair raii removed, too. l might well go ahead and do the whole place like it was an order from the agent, because it's going to be done sooner
 or later. I ain't 6 axious to quit this here job, but if I do I hope I'll get a building where the ladies will be satisfied with things the way they find 'em. I guess there ain't TO account l ing for tastes, but ] shoud worry | Say. can you cas- your eye on that ! indicator and see what it saysP That's
 different bell ringing now Tt says 5 B.
 That gets me- said the janitor,
 rising hastily. If anybody asks you
 why I'm slow you can say I been out I to the store to get Il new shovel. This here that's ringing now is Mrs For 1 sythe. She wants I should see about
 moving the chandelier from the din-
 ing room into the bedroom before she
 has party. I always hears her bell, 1 somehow, the way she rings it, may i be-
 9a More likely she Keeps, her pocket book open perhaps, for a tip or two ?' l What, her?" exclaimed the ianitor, as he paused in tlie doorway. Not much! It's her that is Sister to the
 agent, that's what. .'-Excilange.
