Small Consolation.

In Dunoon (Scotland) the other afternoon one of the municipal employes had a free bath. He is a veteran who drives the cart for watering the roads. While filling the tank of the vehicle the long hosepipe came pff the tap, with the result that the water rushed high into the air as if it wore anxious to do the aeroplane acL There was no way to get the water turned off except to go straight into the middle of it The waterman had many trials before he managed .to throttle the impromptu fountain. And came out soaked to foe skin, he was pot cheered up by foe remark of % witness of the Hotedfle amt eat, who said—‘Ach, Donal, sever mind; it’ll ■s’ daeye eay hens; It's mm water.”
