' Jokers Vex New Clerk by Queer Order Tone Member of Harrimaa Staff Wanrirra Around Company's Of fices Seeking an Impossible Hand ear Statement. GEORGE STRAUSS MILLER, a clerk In the office of J. P. O'Brien, gen eral manager of the Harrlman lines In this territory. Is leading a troubled life. The fact that he Is new to the business has callod down on his head a number of practical jokes from his fellow clerks. Shortly after his enlist ment In the Harrlman service, he was sent out for the time-honored "hand car report." He wandered from de partment to department, and from floor to floor in the labyrinth of offices In the Wells Fargo building, vainly pur suing the elusive statement which seemed ever Just beyond his grasp. Finally weary, footsore and hot, he re turned to report that It was evidently lost. Yesterday he bought a new overcoat at a downtown store and this inci dent provided another laugh for his fellow-workers. The coat was left at the store for a few alterations, and one of the clerks in the office tele phoned to Miller, representing to him that a mistake had been made In the price of the coat and that It would cost $40 instead of $25. Miller, who adheres to the belief that a bargain should hold, and that a mistake of this kind on the part of the salesman should be the customer's gain, hurried to the store, where he demand ed an explanation and called for the coat to be produced at the original price. The resulting surprise on the part of the salesman and the confu sion of the young railroad man can best be imagined. Amusements Wbt ttie Press Areata Bay. "The Devil" Three More Time.
