A Logical Landlord.

Many a tenant will sympathize with the man in this story, from the Philadelphia Record. He was renting a small house which the landlord had refused to repair. One day the owner came to see him. “Jones,” he said, “I shall have to raise your rent.” “What for?” asked Jones, anxiously. “Have taxes gone up?” “No,” the landlord answered, “but I see you’ve painted the house and put in a new range and bathtub. That, of course, makes it worth more rent.”
