gloves. They are lying on the dresser.
And bring me my overshoes and veil
and that hatpin lying on top Of the
chiffonier and few Of those animal
crackers for baby, and don't forget the
baby's toothbrush" Poor hubby had
hard time finding everything his wife
wanted. He was long while making
his appearance aud finally his wife
called to him: "What is keeping you,
dear?" "Oh. that COMPOUNDED tooth
brush for baby. have everything
but that" Then Mrs. Smith laughed.
"You silly Duck" she said, did you
not know that l was only joking? The

K,mberIey.. Jokes.

It Is said that the only time James
q. Blaine was nonplussed was while he
was secretary Of state. One Of the appli-
cants for consulate In Japan was the
late Samuel Kimberley, Of Baltimore,
who died in the service Of Central
America. After he had presented his
credentials Mr.. Blaine said:
II should like to appoint you, Mr..
Kimberley, but / have made 1t rule
10 recommend no one who does not
speak the language Of the country to
which he Is sent. Do you speak Jap
anese?"
"Cert-t-tainly, Mr.. Blaine" SIAM
mered Mr.. Kimberley. "A.a-ask me
s-s-something in J-J-Japanese and I'll
a-a-answer you"
Mr.. Blaine had not q word to say,
but the Japanese post went to another
man, all the same, and Kimberley went
TO Central America.
Another story is told Of Kimberley
equally creditable to his nimble wit.
One day he met young woman who
threw her arms impulsively around his
neck and kissed him. Seeing her mis-
take, she drew back and angrily asked:
aren't you Mr.. Jones?"
"N-n-no, madam" replied Mr.. Kim
