Humorous Story

By WILL ROGERS

A was told in England by one I
i - of the natives. It is a little illustration
of English tact. A lady
i was engaging a new Butler, and
she impressed on each applicant
the importance of tact
"The great question is, have you
tact? It needs great tact to hauI
I die my house. We have all hinds
of goeits."
"Lady, I am noted for my teet,"
replied the applicant.
"Wall, will you givs me any illustration
of some of your tact?" .
1 "Well, Madam, in my last place
I was among various duties supposed
to clean the nlchleware on
the bathroom faucets. One day on
entering a bathroom, there, right
before my very eyes, was a Ladystanding
just ready to enter the
