man walked Into a rontat
ogoncy tho other day. Tho
woman leaned heavily on tho coun
ter, and tlio man Inquired of tho
agent: 'llnvo you any houpcs for
rent?"
"Oh yes," said tho ngent, "n num.
flier of thorn; what kind of v. houso
do you want?"
"Well," nnnworcd tho tired man,
"wo'vo been looking nt n good many,
and wo'vo decided that It won't do to
bu too particular around bore, wo
don't want to bo unreasonable. We'd
rather llko to havo a roof with shtn
glcss on It that won't brcal: ranks
and stampcJo except In tho hnrdor
storms. Wo don't mind tho flower-
'I'Oil room so much, It It hasn't tlio
grlmo mid torn patches of too many
happy years on It. We'd llko a bath
tub that don't scratch, at least with
an interior oven enough so that It
will dry out when idlo. If you havo
n houso with window shades In good
enough condition so thoy Mill afford
soma privacy In tho ovonlng, we'd
llko it, but wo won't Insist on that.
i
Wo rnn pnlut the bnsolioards our
uolvos, and cover up tho worst of It.
Wo aro also willing to rnko up and
burn tho rejected millinery, umbrol
las and othor bric-a-brac loft by tho
Inst tenants (wo understand that is
tho custom.) Wo won't hold out for
any kind of convciileiico In arrange
ment or plan of tho houso, or u
'cent of pnlut on tho outside Wo
can get along for n tlmo with most
unythlng that Is decont. Wo would,
howovor, llko to hnvo tho porches

ing and leaving tho house, nml a few
of tho top bricks reset (or removed)
on tho chlmnoy, so that tho company
who carries my accident policy won't
cancol mo. We'll pay our rent, and
'are willing to pay a reasonnhlo price,
tIf wo can got somowhero whoro mo
iwoinon of our church won't bo too
j proud to call on my wlfo, and whoro
lis cloan enough Just to bo healthy."
"Ah," ropllcd tho agont, catching
his breath and a falling tear, "your
frank, honest statement of tho caso
!goes right to my heart. I could
not possibly toll you that I havo nny-
thlnir r kht now that wouiu moci
your roqulrotnonts, but 1 bollovo you
nro all right. Wo havo had ninny
bitter dlsappolntnionts, but I really
bellovo you nro a tonitnt that would
treat n landlord right. SoJ many
of them movo In, pay a month's ront,
mid thon loavo without speclnl notice
somotlmo during tho second month,
taking with thorn tho window shades,
tho llgh fixtures, tho hotwator tank,
'and tho koy to tho front door. I
'don't bollovo you would do that, and

tho heart of somo landlord In your
Interest."

of a houso Unit had been vacant tor
nearly' a year, and thus addressed
him: "Your houso has boon vacant

think will ngrco to Btny nt lenst three
months, nml pny fifteen dollars per.
mils will mako forty-five dollars In

liveable, In a way. If you will spend
that amount on tho houso, I will
nrrnngo with tho paperhttiigcrs and
disinfectant experts to do whnt Is
'necessary, and take tho pay ns tho
rent Is pnld. That Is better than
their ordinary run of collections nny
way. Thon at tho and of tho thrco
