Tho other day when wo started ovor
tp Hondy & Ogior'a Garago to buy a

us and asked us why tho First Nation
al Bank did not upholster tho ledge
bctweon tho pillars on the west sido
of 'their new building. Ho said that
almost all of tho timo overy day it
was used as a sitting place by tired
men. Wo told him wo did not know so
wo wont ovor to ask Ed Davis. Ed In
vited us in quito cordially and wo asked
him. Ho asked us If tho First National
Bank had intended this ledgo for
sitters when thoy built tho building
nnd wo told him that wo would not
bo surprised aa tho bank is real ac
commodating and ho said thoy put it
up protty high if thoy intended to bo
accommodating nhd wo said thoy
probably did not want it to bo crowd
ed so they put it so that only tho most
agllo could climb up to it. Ed asked
if wo thought tho sitters were patron;,
of tho bank and we said wo thought
they would ike to bo and wero only
waiting for the right kind of a Job.
Ed said ho guessed that was right and
ho acted as though he felt sorry for
them because thoy had to sit thoro
on tho cold hard stono all day Just
waiting but wo told him to cheer up
as ncno of them stayed all day but
somo stayed quito a while. Then ho
asked us if wo ever heard any of tho
sitters comiplain of tho cold, hard
stono and we said wo had heard' somo
pretty strong talk but It seemed as
though they wero complaining about
tho government more than about tho
cold, hard . stono nnd Ed said he was'
surprised. Then Ed asked. if wo had
any preference for tho color of the
upholstering if tho First National
Bank should decide to fix it up for the
sitters and wo said red was a good
color and ho said ho had heard that
red made people mad and that ir'
would not do to make tho sitters n.ad
and wo said that was so and Ed asked
us if red mado us mad and wo said
wo never got mad. Then "Ed said ho
never got mad either and at that wo
got mad-and then Ed got mad and ho
told us ho would sottlo our hash if
wo Insinuated anything so wo got cut
of there pretty fast. And now wo
know.
