EVERYBODY'S FRIEND.
.Jack ledger was the most obliging man that ever lived. His services were given gratis to all applicants. Ho could mend a clock, repair a puncture, tirown a kitten, paper a wall, and, in fact, perForm any d man. In consequence, Jack's services were in constant demand. A week o rtwo ago, after cobbling a neighbour's boots, sweeping the vicar's chimney, and writing a testimonial for his charwoman's nephew, he retired to rest. He was awakened by a terrific bang at his front door, and immediately rushed to the window. ""What's the matter?" he bawled, irritably. "You'll excuse me for troubling you at this time of night," came the reply, " but the fact is, our baby is so very cross, and we would like you to com© and pacify him. He always laughs when he sees your funny nose."
