\ young newspaper reporter ln n neigh
boring town went out torepott "A party the
other evening where the home had recently
been blessed with new baby. Accom-
panied by his best girl he met the hostess
at the door. and after the usual salutation-
asked after the baby's health. The lady,
who was quite deaf and suffering with the
grip. thought he was asking about her cold
and toll, him that though she had ons
every winter, this is the worst one she ever
had; it kept her awake nights IA good deal
nj first and confined her to her bed. Then
noticing that the scribe was getting pale
and nervous she said she could tell by hit
looks that he was going to have one just
like hers. and asked him to go in aud sit
down. The paper will be out as usual this
week, but there will be nothing in concern
ing the new baby.-Ex.
