GRANT COUNTY HERALD, LANCASTER, WISCONSIN. DECEMBER 2i 1010. CAP BUXS ROUGH ON THE POOR TRAMP Thirsty Traveler Unknowingly Pumps Water Into Cistern of Ingenious Lazy individual. The tramp had walked a good three miles and was particularly thirsty. A sudden turn in the road brought him to the foot of a steep hill, at the top of which stood a large house. The tramp paused a moment before at tempting the herculean feat of storm ing the hill. He felt hungry and thirsty. He glanced to the left. These words caught his eye: “Tarry, trav eler, and refresh thyself.” The tramp was sorry the sign was attached to a pump-handle. However, water was better than nothing, so he commenced to pump. The spout remained dry. He pumped with more vigor. Still no water. After ten minutes of hard work he said harsh things about the pump, and continued his journey. At the top of the hill he mentioned his grievance to a native. The latter point ed to the fine house across the road. “The owner of that house,” he said, ‘has some big water-cisterns which have to be filled from a stream in the valley. He is too lazy to fill ’em him self, though; so he rigged up that pump and connected it with his cis terns, and now—” But the tramp was already sprinting across the road to argue with the man who owned the pump.

Sanders, Republican can didate for alderman of the Second ward, Orange, N. J., is responsible for the following yarn: It was election day in a small Mich igan city, when a prominent politi cian happened to meet an old darky servant of his. “Well, Sambo,” asked Mr. Smith, “how did you vote today?” “I ain’t voted yit, boss,” said Sam bo. • > “Why is that?” said Mr. Smith. “Well, boss, It’s dis a-way. De Pro hibitionists dey give me $lO to vote their ticket and the Republicans dey give me $5 to vote their ticket. Ah’s goin’ to wait to see how corrupt all de parties is ’fore I vote, en then Ah’s goin’ to vote for the leastest.” So It Is. “It is better to have the good will than the ill will of a man.” “Yes, but it is better to have the ill will of some men than to have to laugh at their funny stories.” Mean. “Why do you hate him so?” “He has been knocking me to the girl I go with.” “What did he tell her?” “What my salary is.” This shows the Round Oak furnace without its inclosing jacket, so you can more readily note its const ruction.
