Something ihappened .recently, how- ever, which caused Public. to take a keener interest In his job. He was home eating lunch one day when a man named Agitator, a former midout of Prosperity Town, wood, the tread- mill of luduotry. and, seeing that it was unguarded, thought it would be a good joke on Public to put a few kiukl In the machinery.
