THE LAST STRAW.
A station-master at <v country station, when making the usual monthly requisition for new stores, among other things applied for a new sweeping-brush. When the goods arrived, he found there was no brush among them, and on referring to the list he saw that his request for this article had been crossed out at headquarters. The following month he made a similar application but with the same result.
Not to bo outdone, however, he then forwarded an old brush, which was absolutely devoid of hair, with the following note : "As it seems you cannot grant me a new brush, please rub a quantity of 'hair-restorer' oa the accompany-
ing article, and return to me when it has taken effect."
