When not otherwise engaged, whioh was noarly the.whole time, Drother Hodnott ‘made war spenchea to his clients, trained thom to npplaud at the proper intorvals, and thereby oncouraged himsolf and annoyed his neighbors. Finally, growing woary of constantly hstoning to hia addrosscs, his Suffering fellow-workmen suggestod to him that thoy - . .
