A German shoemaker left the gas
turned on in his shop one night, and
upon arriving in the morning, struck
a match to light it. There was a
teriffic explosion, and the shoemaker
was blown through the door and into
the street. A passer-by rushed to his
assistance, and, after helping him to
arise, inquired if he was injured. The
little German gazed at his place of

the Association will invite all per
