LITTLE AIDS TO BOLSHEVISM

Getting hold of a cigar that has a poor grade of hemp In It. Having the salesman hand you a soft hat and tell you It matches your head. Getting a plate of oxtail soup containing the first joint of the waiter’s thumb. Trying to scrub some lather off a piece of castlron soap In a sleeping car washroom. Walting twenty minutes for an elevator to come down and then having it come down empty. Sitting down on a wad of gum that the stenographer has just parked on the edge of the desk. Getting a room lln a country hotel with a switch engine outside the window rehearsing all night. Having a man who has owed you sls for five years drive by In his twin six and spatter mud on your new overalls. —Chicago American.
