Show Politeness Didn't Pay Hero. Down on Water street, Augustu, Me, the other day, two men met at th corner of the street and they both stepped step-ped to the outer edge of the walk to avoid two ladles whom they met. Both men said in chorus: "Pardon me," then both sidestepped to the left. When thoy met again both sidestepped once more, this time to the right, and met again. Then they both stod si ill, and as one man turned to the right and extended bis arms ubove his bend as he flattened himself agnlnst the bultd-Ing, bultd-Ing, he snid to the other man: "Say, when yon get by, whistle."
