Absurdities Into Which Victims of

Absurdities Into Which Victims of
the Habit Have Fallen.
When lapses of memory become
habitual, the person is properly called
absentminded. The Chicago Tribune
relates the following absurdities into
which some victims of this disease
have fallen:
A bridegroom Of "a hours left his
wife, strolled around to his mother-in-
laws house and asked her if her
daughter was at home. This came
ing there daily for some time, and it
probably occurred to him that he had
not paid his usual visit.
A Chicago bank president is unable
to account for three-quarters of an
hour of his life. He went into a res
taurant as usual and ordered his lunch.
Nearly an hour later he found himself
in his Office chair and suddenly re-
membered the order.
He went back across the street and
asked if the luncheon was ready. The
clerk Informed him that he had eaten,
paid the bill and gone away some Is
minutes before, that he had put his
hat on as he went out and that he
(the clerk had not noticed anything
peculiar in his actions.
The bank president congratulates
himself that he can be trusted to be-
have like an ordinary mortal even
when he doesn't happen to have his
mind with him.
