TRIALS OF A TIRED MAN.
Rumpus In Adjoirung- Apartment Costs
Man Next Door $32.
"11/ hud a fuss up at our flat Inst
yW night, said til** tir<‘d man.
‘•and the row cost me
Two strange looking fellers moved into
the flat next to ours, and the walls
are so thin my wife and 1 could hear
pretty much nil the strange men said.
They seemed to quarrel all the time.
•‘ ‘You have done me a great wrong.
Henry Wilbrahaui.’ says one in a low.
growling voice and it whack on the ta
>ie that made the dumbwaiter rattle.
*• ‘So you have said before, Horace
] lark ins,’ says t lie other in tones as
told its an iceberg in cold storage.
‘But what you may think or say or do
is u matter of no moment to me. Don’t
waste that husky voice of yours cm idle
threats. Ido not fear you. Henrietta
Wigglesworth understands, and that is
nil I care for. We wed tomorrow.’
•‘'Tomorrow?’ cries the first, yelling
like a stin k pig. •Tomorrow?*
“ ‘Tomorrow is what 1 said.’ says
the other scornfully. ‘And now you
will oblige me by leaving this house
at once, or I shall call the police and
have you thrown out.’
“‘Curse you!’ cries the first, with a
hiss like a serpent on his esses. ‘You
little dream that I have still the whip
hand u|Mtn you. you cur! if you think
I fear you and the power of your
wealth the sooner you change your
jjjiild the better. Let the minions of
the law come, and I will lay the story
of your perfidy before them in such a
light that if you are not in a cell lie
fore night there is no Justice in ilil#
land. No tyau will be so base as to
tro vour bail, no man so wicked as
ft defend you before the courts. 1
have the fmpers.’
“‘Oh, bang the papers!* cries the
Other, with a cynical laugh. ‘They
prove nothing. Who signed them?
Reginald Hnrkaway? Ami where is
Reginald Harkawa.v? Dead! Aye,
dead as a doornail, Horace Harkins!
Lying cold beneath his little six feet
of earth in the distant Philippines!’
“‘Liar!’ hisses the first. ‘lteginald
Harkaway lives. I am Reginald Ilark
away,’ and so on. They’ve kept up
that, confounded row day in and day
out ever since they came Into the
place, beginning early in the morning
and stopping the Lord knows when at
night. Well, last night matters readi
ed a climax, and that feller Harkaway
seemed to lose air control of himself,
it was near midnight My wife and 1
were wakened up from our first sleep
by a regular prizefight going on in
there. We could hear them scuffling
about the room, hammering and lam
basting each other up to the limit, un
til finally my wife said she thought 1
ought to interfere.
“ ‘Somebody 'll be killed In there if
you don't stop ’em.’ she said.
"I held oft as long as 1 could, but
finally I heard one of ’em after a
heavy fall cry out:
“‘Stop, Harkaway, stop! For the
love of Henrietta do not beat me so!
I cannot stand it! Stop and 1 will
make full restitution!’
“This was followed by heavy breath
ing, and then in a slow, cruel voice
the other chap growls out:
“‘lt Is too late, Henry Wllbraham!
1 know you for a perfidious friend, a
sneak and a snake! You have seen the
rays of the sun for the last time, and
I swear by the love l bear to Henri
etta Wiggles worth, whose father you
have brought to the verge of ruin that
your fell purpose might be accom
plished, that you shall die now here
and by my hand! Take that and that
and that!’
“There were sounds of blows that
froze the blood in my veins, and the
victim's cries rent the air. 1 Jumped
out of bed, seized a tire ax and beat
down the door of their apartment. 1
rushed in between the two struggling
men. What do you suppose l found?”
“A cold corpse lying stark dead on
the floor?” cried his friend, breathless
with excitement.
“No such luck,” said the tired man
gloomily. “Two bum tragedians re
hearsing for a ltowery melodrama
called ‘A Five Fingered Nemesis; or.
Hack From the drave.’ in fourteen
acts and a dozen tableaux. It cost me
$7 to square those two duffers for
breaking into their apartment.”*
“Seven?” queried his friend. “1
thought you said it cost you s.‘l2 V”
"S<> it did,” groaned the tired man.
“The other $25 was what 1 had to pay
for tin 1 geramined old door I'd chopped
to pieces getting into the dodgasted
hole.”- Harper's Weekly.

ii rE WISH to call the attention of our natrons, the business com-
YV munitv, and the public in general, to the fact that we have, in
anticipation of your wants, carefully replenished our stock with those
articles that are essential to the approach of Spring and in keeping with
your needs. Possibly the house needs anew roof, or more likely the
changing of that little, dinky, front veranda to one that is more spaci
ous and presentable in appearance would be worth the while. Also, a
new pair of steps, a tile walk, a picket fence or the judicious use of our
Sun Proof and Peninsular paints on the outside, while a bit of stain and
some hot and cold water colors and tints tastily applied to those dingy
walls, with an occasional cabinet mantel, and a bright, clean set of tile
here and there, will add considerable “class” to the place. Now', any
or all of this won’t cost much, and is worth more than the price, con
sidering satisfaction, etc. Let us talk further. Our phone is No. 47.

Honest?

With your land when for the
sake of saving a few dollars
you use a fertilizer whose
only recommendation is its
analysis. It requires no spe
cial knowledge to mix mate
rials to analyses. The value
of a fertilizer lies in the ma
terials used, so as not to
over feed the plant at one
time and starve at another.
This is why Royster brands
are so popular. Every in
