TOO MANY BREAKS FOR HIM
Frenchraan Employed by Real Estate
Dealer Interviews Tenant With
Surprising Results.

A local real estate dealer has
frencllman in his employ whose use
fitness is hampered only by his inahil-
ity to master the English ldiom, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A tenant
recently gave notice that he was I'M
able 10 keep his lease on house. and
the Frenchman was sent out to find
what was the matter The former
made this brief statement, and the lat
ter took notes on it:
.Some time ago scarlet fever broke
out in the neighborhood, and we sent
the children to the home of their
grandparents. Shortly afterward my
wife's health broke down. and we de-
cided to break up housekeeping. At
about the same time the house was
broken into by burglars, and our maid
was so badly frightened that she left.
My wife didn't feel like breaking in
new servant, and we have gone 10
boarding. l am sorry TO break of re-
lations with this firm, but things are
breaking so bad with me that / have
to. I'm all broken up about it. my
self.H
The Frenchman expanded his notes
into the following report:
Scarlet fever broke away in this
tenants neighborhood. Next, his wife's
health broke into. SO he decided to
break in housekeeping. The house
was broken down by burglars and the
maid escaped. The lady doesn't want
to break up a new servant. He is sor-
ry TO break up our relations. but he is
badly broken. He says he is entirely
broken out about it,"
After the bad breaks were trans
lated the report was clear.

NEW YORK SUN REVIEW.

New York, April 24.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The undertone In today's stock mar
ket was firm and such additional
strength as manifested itself from time
to time was due to covering by the
short interests who were rendered un-
easy not only by the favorable charac-
ter of the foreign and domestic new de-
velopments but by the oversold condi-
ton of the market.
This situation applied particularly to
the industrial list. The railroad de-
partment was neglected and very mar
row.
The growing conviction that the gov
eminent will give new consideration to
all phases of the taxation problem as
related robustness was reassuring, al
though nothing apparently can inject
animation into the market
Trading today was but little more
lively than yesterday and as has been
the case for some time was wholly pro-
fessional. There were strong spots
among the specialties and some weak
spots, like the motor and traction
shares, the latter influenced by reviv-
ed rumors Of a possible decrease in the
preferred dividend of PETERBOROUGH
Consolidated.
