"A Tale of Brick. It is passing strange, but the veteran who has calmly walked "into the canon's [sic] mouth, yet flees panic stricken before a woman's righteous indignation. As Mrs. J. H. [Louisa] Heacock arrived home from a trip down town the other day, she met her brother-in-law coming out of the front door with a rush. "Where's my grip," he yelled. "I'm quittin' the town."
Realizing that something pretty awful must have transpired, Mrs. Heacock hurried into the house, while Uncle Sam proceeded to very quickly become invisible from any point of view on the premises. Nothing was found wrong by the lady of the house till she reached the dining room, but there -- alas! As a brick chimney was being torn down, preparatory to building the new addition, a mass of a half dozen bricks and the natural accompaniment of mortar, soot, etc., had unexpectedly dislodged, went through the ceiling, and landed kersmash on the dining table, which in moving things around on account of the aforesaid carpentering had been loaded with dishes!
While Uncle Sam didn't go so far as to leave town, he did have work that kept him strictly outdoors for the rest of the day."
