Show The Meter's Record. A representative of the gas department depart-ment called on a householder and intimated in-timated that he was afraid something was wrong w ith the meter. From the official point of x-iew, of course, meters can only show one fault, and the symo-tom symo-tom w hich had cast, suspicion on this meter was that it had registered lesa during the quarter than in the corresponding corre-sponding part of the previous yea. But the lady of the house has a convincing con-vincing explanation of the decline. "You see." she said, "my daughter was engaged last winter. She got marrievl in June." The official, who was evidently a parent himself, was quite satisfied, and the meter left the court without a stain upon its high character. |
