The latest case of absent mindedness that
has come TO our knowledge Is this On Tues
day evening we left the Office for tea before
Charlie Woke quit work. We said to him that
we would leave the key in the door, and in so
doing, locked 1t and went away and did not
think Of the matter till about eight o'clock but
Charlie had found a way of escape and had
gone home to inform his wife and baby OF what
had happened.
Well that was about off the same piece as
what happend when Mrs Renwick requested
her husband one dark evening, to 60 out to the
cistern and get her pail OF water. He took
down his lantern, lighted 1t, went out. took the
hook and hooked onto the lantern, dipped it
down into the cstern and drawing it up carried
it in and set it down in the sink and then re-
sumed his newspaper which he had put away
to comply with his wife's request.
