Here is another on my friend Doody,
tho ocular chap afflicted with what John
Weiss would call cerebral inability to
keep words from gadding about with
each other after they have once entered
the mind.
He had been given the conundrum,
"Why do chickens have no future ex-
istence ?" and laughed heartily when no
at last grasped the point of the answer
because they have their necks twirled
next world IN this. "
Retailing it to a friend he put the
question with perfect precision, but up
roarious laughter at his own conception
of the climax led to this pointless dis
tortion:

10 future existence. EN-? Why, it's be
because their necks are twirled in

stances; however private the business
the door is left open, so that the inter
view NAV bc within sight Of the clerk.
There are others more careless, and l
heard OF one broker the other day who
not long ago paid blackmal to woman
b. the extent Of a thousand dollars,
though his conduct seems 10 have been
blameless. 1t Is useless, however. 10
make such plea to the public !;
il believes the worst, especially OF
4 man, and takes the word Of a
woman who 10 not usually any more
moral than man. This broker was talk
ing in his private Office with fine-look-
ing. innocont-appearing woman with
demme face end handsome but light
gray ewes. The conversation was on the
subject of some business which she bad
made the occasion Of the call, and as the
broker supposed the matter finished and
was wheeling around his chair 10 his desk
he was startled by remark IN low
tone from the woman of feline demure-
ness:
~ would like thousand dollars"
"What for?' asked the astonlshed
broker. 81 don't owe you anything. l
never saw you before. What are you
talking about ;" -,
~ want thousand dollars, or VIII
make an outsry and disgrace you before
your clerks and customers and drive you
from society"
The woman had hard, est-like look:
The broker fumed and swore and
threatened 10 kick the human cat from
the room, but eventually he paid the de-
msnd. az il is from a cynical but kindly
friend that the particulars are now first
disclosed with the omission OF the name.
