The employees of the board of educa

board, especially those who do not pos

the need of bubbling fountain a,
which to drink when on the third floo,
of the Glencoe building. Some time
ago, too, Hon. John n. Stephenson
agent for the Glencoe building, was
asked to install a bubbling fount.
The directors were greatly disap
pointed and even peeved to have a
reply from Hon. Mr.. John, in which
he declined to install the sweet boon
SO greatly craved. He closed his dec.

a convenience caused sloppy place
on the floor
"That man: always is looking for an
excuse to save money" calculated
Director Proved. Even the autoerats
sided with the Little Commoner and
many murmurs Of petufance were heard
over the action of the unresponsive
landlord. They resented the idea that

successor, whereat all the autocrats
looked at him in pity and made patron

that indicated that the real estate king
thanked his Maker that he was not
made of the same clay and kidney as
the poor barber from Seventh st.
