HIS Explanation Was Unfortunate. z

His Explanation Was Unfortunate. -
From Tid-Bits
There was company for dinner and
the plate in front Of the host contained
fine sirloin of beef. He drew the
sharp carving knife across the ringing
steel for few times, just because that
is a way carvers have, drove the fork
deep into the steaming beef, described
a scalping-kn flourish in the air, and
gracefully began operations.
Two nice marble-Sized slices clear
across the joint had resulted, and he
was turning off the third when the
blade struck a skewer, made a sliding
motion and came out at the top with
result that the proposed slice looked
like FROST bitten leaf curled by the
sun.
The man could not say intense things
in the presence of his guests, but he
troze his wife with look, made a grim
joke about the indigestibility of roasted
hard wood, dug the skewer out vicious
ly, and ordered little Willie who had
made severalattenSptsto tell something,
to keep still or leave the table. His
evident temper led to an embarra ssing
silence, and Willie saw an opening that
he could not resist.
Cook has burned her nose orful," he
announced.

good humor was coming back. How
