"Did you aver get a Chinese carpenter to stop up a holo In the floor?" asked on flat dweller of another. The other had to admit that he had not. Then the first pro-' ceeded to tell his wonderful tale, which the listener would not believe until he tried an Oriental for the same purpose the next month. 'There was a worn place In the floor that; needed patching, and I thought I'd show my wife what a carpenter I was, ao X sawed a square section of the planks out. But I cut my hand the first minute and had to send for the Chinaman, who had a shop right around the corner. When ho' got to the door he grunted something that sounded like it might mean 'Where?' and I pointed to the square holo In a dark corner. " 'Wow,' he Bald, as ho squinted at it a minute. Then ha turned around and walked out. I thought well, I didn't know what to think, I was bo amased. I couldn't understand his giving up such a simple Job. I was still puzcllng over It a half an hour later when I heard a knock. He said 'wow,' or some other word Ilka it and and held up square board. Then ha walked over to the dark corner of the room and what do: you think? He put the square in it and it fitted just as If It had grown there. And he had Juat taken a peep at the hole from where he was standing In the door," The flat dweller's tale la no fairy story,. That's the way a Chinese carpenter stops a hole in the floor.
