A Fatal Oversight.

Recently the wife of an Atlanta man
told him she wanted two newspapers
that were published in different states.
He had no change about him, so she
gave him 10 cents with which to pur-
chase them.
He went forth, but on the way be-
thought him of the clipping bureau,
where, he argued, he could get the pa
pers for nothing. SO he invested the
money in a good cigar, obtained the pa
pers when the clipping man was through
with them and returned home
On opening the papers his wife dis.
covered that two items had been clipped
from one and four from another, and
then there was trouble.
1t was in vain that he tried to ex-
plain. In fact, he couldn't explain.
The more he stammered out excuses the
more his wife's curiosity was aroused.
The next morning when he appeared
down town his head was bandaged and
he looked i'll.
He is now consulting lawyer as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of suing the clipping
bureau for damages. Atlanta Constitu'
tiOu.
