He Was MOT Missed.

A citizen who stands pretty we'll in
his own estimation, and, for that mat
ter, in the estimation of the public,
also, says the Detroit Free Press, went
abroad for a period of two years.
When he returned to Detroit the first
man he met was an old friend, who
was about to pass him with a cool bow.
Whats the matter?" asked the re-
turned traveller. "Aint you going to
speak to a fellow after such an alb
sence."
"Absence! Been out of town? 7"
"Out of town? Why, man alive!
I've been two years in Europe
mo? Can't be possible Why, /
never missed you," said his friend.
The other turned away in anger and
button-holed an old chum, to whom he
said:
"WelE, I've got back"
"Been o4er N York;" asked the
chum.
"Thuuder, man! I've been to the
Old World Z" exclaimed the disgrant-
led voyager.
lyon don't say 500" was the amaz-
ed retort OF the solemn looking bust
ness chum.
The next acquaintance remarked, as
he stopped a moment, 81 haven't seen
you for a week or two. Had hay fe-
VERT"
That broke the combination. The
returued traveller got on his dignity,
and declined to notice any more of his
townsmen until they sent a brass band
round to serenade him, and lie learned
that it was a put up job to take him
down u little. 1t is so hard to per-
suaGe the average mortal that he never
will be missed. O
