OF their value ola not throw these Worn-
out pens away, generally exchanging them

tried q pen that had lost its spring and
been put away. To my surprise, it went

SENATOR PLUMB has been telling the
people of Kansas the following original
little story. which, as it has not seen day
light for several years. may be regarded as
fresh enough to reproduce: "A case which
was being tried before New York Justice
of the peace was delayed by the absence Of
a witness named Sarah Money. The magis-
trate after waiting some time announced
with an attempt at wit that the case would
be adjourned without Sarah Money. One
of the jurors. who was struck with the
brilliancy of the pun. went home and told
his wife that the justice had got off o won
derful joke. and then proceeded to say that
in the absence of witness named Mary
Money the court declared that the case
would be adjourned without Mary Money.
POOH said the wife of the juror, Il don't
see anything funny about that Neither
did l. responded her husband, until got
half way home. hut 1t will strike you in o
half hour or sO.'"
