When Oolonel Sumpter was in New
York, strolling ab ut and seeing
what was to be seen, he noticed by
the aide of the door of a large man-
sion on Fourth avenue, right andel
the bell, the words : 'Please ring the
bell for janitor.' After reflecting a
few minutes, Col. Sumpter walked
up and gave the bell such a pall
that one might have supposed he
was trying to extricate it by the
roots. In a few minutes an angry -
faced man tore the door open. 'Are
you the janitor ?' asked Col. Sump-
ter. 'Yes ; what do you want ?' 'I
saw that notice, 'Please ring the bell
for janitor,' so 1 rang the bell'for
you, and now 1 want to know why
