He Had a New Word.

“Say, I’ve Just annexed a new word, and I’m dead anxious to work it off on the lady boss of the flat house. She’ll think I’m ‘calling her out of her name,’ and perhaps have me summoned to court, and then, O Joy, the neighbors will give her the laugh and ahe’U lose prestige among her subjects.” “What Is the new word?” asked the second lookout for a new building that Is being erected near Herald Square. “ ‘Janitrlx.’ Never heard It? Neither had I, but It’s all right, and It sounds Just Insinuating enough to make the average Janitress boll. I know it’s good, for I read It over the door of public achool building No. 80, around in 87th street Of course the principal wouldn’t let It go If it wasn’t pure. And then, besides, I looked It up In the dictionary. ‘Mra. Blank, Janitrlx,’ that’s the way It goes. Just imagine yelling down the air shaft: ‘Here, you Janitrlx, the water pipe’s burst!’ and then imagine what will follow. How quickly you would be Informed thnt the Janitress, with the stress on the tress, was a perfect lady, and that she meant to have the law on you.”— New York Telegram.
