PARTING SHOT WAS HOT ONE

Didn’t Get His Suitcase in Time, but He Had a Little Satisfaction. Here is a story that was told at a recent dinner by Dr. Allerton S. Cushman, director of the Institute of Jnduatrial Research, Washington, when reference was mad< to sacrifice jolys: Some time ago an esteemed cltl«ea went to the package room of a big railroad tor a suitcase he bad checked

a few hours before, and being in something of a hurry, he tried to beam upon the grip juggler that he stacked up against. “Look here, old pal,” he earnestly entreated, “my train leaves in just three minuses. Can't you get that suitcase of mine?" “You are not the only man on earth,” was the grouchy rejoinder of the grip juggler. “You will get your suitcase when your turn comes." Whereat the traveler subsided. He saw what he had collided with and

prepared to pay the penalty of his rashness. One long exasperating minute the grip juggler loafed! Then another! Finally the suitcase was produced. “Thank you!” freesingly remarked the traveler as be faded away. “If you ever lose your job here, come to me. I need a man to chase snails.”
