His Fruitless Search for "Spade-Han

Saw Mills.”
Strike
There Is an unwritten law In a cer
tain Albany hardware store which re
quires that every new employe be In
itiated.
i The Initiation may occur bn the first
day of the novitiates's service, at the
end of a week, .or even after a month
has passed. But‘whenever It does oc
cur, It Is apt to be something rich,
Several Weeks ago an ambitious
young man with the first crop of down
on his upper Up secured a Job in this
store, j but his Initiation was deferred
until day before yesterday.
He was standing near the front en
trance when a strange negro entered.
He carried, a note In his hand, and
handed it to the new clerk, who opened
It and read as follows:
“Please send by bearer one-half
dozen spnde-lmndle seed. Important
“A. M. C .”
The future hardware merchant
frowned and scratched hts head.
"Spade-handle seed? What the mis
chief Is a spade-handle seed?”
He went back to where one of the
older clerks was busying himself over
a keg of nails. “Where do you'keep
the spade-handle seed?” he queried.
The older clerk said he thought the
last one had keen sold, but told the
seeker after knowledge to look on the
top shelf directly opposite the second
show-case. But there were no spade-
handle seed there. The new employe
sallied forth to two other hardware
stores In search of the elusive spade-
handle seed, and finally had to turn
the order down, though with appar
ent great reluctance.
That same afternoon another negro
with another note appeared. The new
clerk opened the note and read:
“Send by bearer one left-handed
pocket saw mill, with best net cash
price. V. C. C."
There was more trouble. “Left-
handed pocket saw-mill! What all
apes a hardware store sell, anyhow?”
* The obliging senlbr clerk was ap
pealed to again.
“You’ll have to buy It out,” was the
latter’s direction. J.
'. Neither of the other hardware stores
had any left-handed pocket saw mills
In stock, and the persevering youth
visited a wholesale supply house. Here
he was told to go out to the machine
shop, a mile from town, where some
left-handed saw mills were just being
finished up. He puUed his hat down
over his ears, set his teeth together
and made a bee-line for the shop,
where he was told to “come back next
day: hot cjhlte ready yet.”
Whether he went is not recorded.

And still, as far ns is evident to the
naked eye, actual work on the high
school building has not begun. The
first set of bids were not accepted,
being too high, and the architects were
called upon to revise the plans and
specifications so that the bids might
come nearer the appropriation. This
has been done, and other bids are be
ing waited for.
