A very absentminded pro‘essional man, with effices fn a Chestnut street building, came downtown the other day and discovered that he had left his keys at home. The superintendent of the bullding let the absentminded man into his office, but he was still as bad off as ever. He could not get into his desk or at his safe. He pondered a lit- tle while over his dilemma; then he decided to return home for the keys. “Why not send a messenger boy after the keys?” was the thought that struck him, but that was immediately put out of the question by another thought to the effect that the boy would not be able to get in the house in case the absentminded man’s wife had left home. “That’s right; I must go my- self,” decided the troubled man, and home he went, arriving at the very door of his house before it dawned upon him that he without his keys was as bad off as a messenger boy, and the poor man’s wife had gone out all right. “Oh, hang it anyway,” said the absent- minded man, “I ought to have tele- phoned her to wait for me! Why didn’t I do that? Well, I will go right back to the office and phone.” And he did. He phoned and phoned for some time before he could understand why his wife did not answer; then he gave up work for the day.—Philadelphia Record. Turning the Tables. When E. L. Godkin was editor of the New York Evening Post he was sup- posed by many to lack a sense of hu- mor, but those in his employ who stood close to him knew better. One morning he sent for his young city editor. “Last night,” sald Mr. Godkin, “I read in the Post an account of the sui- cide of a boy. Your news paragraph reported as the motive that the boy ‘was being resisted at home in a prema- ture inclination to marry. Mr. Blank, can you imagine how that father felt when you accused him for what was no doubt done In a sense of loving duty of being the cause of the death of his child?” ° The young editor stammered an apol- ogy. “Thank you for your explanation,” sald Godkin. “But,” he went on in a more decided tone, “if anything like that ever happens again I give you fair ‘warning, sir, that I will leave this pa- per! I will not work for a paper that says things so cruel!”—Success Maga- zine, When Britain Fought For an Ear. Perhaps the most extraordinary ex- ample of Britain going to war for “no reason at all” occurred in the reign of George IL. One Robert Jenkins, an English merchant-captain, trading from Jamalca, arriving in England in 1738, reported that the sloop had been board- ed by the Spanish coast guards and that, though no proof of smuggling had been found, he had been tortured and -his ear torn off. All England flew into an uproar. “Jenkins’ ear” divided par- tles and shook Walpole’s ministry it- self. The house of commons sent for Jenkins, and he was told to bring his ear with him. The incident grew into a crisis, though Walpole did his best to persuade people to keep their heads, but the popular indignation was so great that the next year the govern- ment was compelled to declare war against Spain.—Pearson’s. The Parish Top. Once in England top whipping was practically ordered by law. There was a huge top formerly provided in every village to be whipped in frosty weath- er that the peasants might be kept warm by the exercise and out of mis- chief while they could not work. Shakespeare in “T'welfth Night” says, “His brains turn like a parish top.” Ben Jonson in “New Inn” writes, “He spins like a parish top,” and Beaumont and Fletcher have “dances like a town top and reels and hobbles.” REvelyn, the diarist, speaking of the uses of wil- low wood, says that it was ordered that “the great town tops should be made thereof.” Is German as Bad as This? John Ruskin was caustic in his utter- ances about the German language. In “Letters of Dr. John Brown” Ruskin is thus quoted: German isn’t a “language” at all, but only a “throatage” or “gutturage’”—a mode of human expression learned chiefly of wolves and bears, with half of the things it calls words stitched in the middle like wasps and ants or ass panniers, and letters scrabbled out when people were mostly drunk, so that they didn’t know the tops from the bottoms of them. In Wrong. “Your husband is greatly in need of exercise,” said the doctor. “He’s in- doors too much. He'll have to get out more.” - “Out more!” exclaimed the wife. “He’s been out every night this week. That’s what's the matter with him.” Realizing that he was in the wrong, || the doctor left a prescription and prom- 1ised to call later.—St. Louis Republic. The Vote That Counted. “And what was your family’s de- cision?” “Practically unanimous in my fa- vor,” answered the young lawyer, “mother voting aye and father dissent: ing.”—Louisville Courfer-Journal. His School.” “Have you a college diploma?” “No, but I have several mining stock certificates that I might frame and hang up as evidence that I have been through the school of experience.”— Exchange. The habit of looking at the best side of every event is worth more than a thousand a year.—Johnson. Impartial. “M>, Scatterton prides himself on being strictly impartial.” “Yes,” answered the unamiable man. “I once went shooting with him. He didn’t seem to care whether he hit the rabbit, the dog or one of his friends.” The Dangerous Case. * One of %he -surgeons of a hospital asked an Irish help which he consid- ered the most dangerous of the many cases then in the hospital. - “That, sir,” sald Patrick as he pointed to a case of surgical instruments.
