After looklnpr over the Inquirer and a companion who announced himself a the mechanician for the wooden lr, the salesman In two cases decided he was being Joshed anil declined. A third man banded out the oil. It was a a-enulnelx- serious request, because the man with a limp found his leg was making; tno much noise. It got rusted when a playful friend xvhtp visited his apartment after shoxv time. early Thursday morning- put tho wooden leg; In thn bathtub full of water for some hours.
