HE WAS LOCKED OUT
Funny PrediCament Of a Prominent
Washington Citizen.
Everybody Laughed at His DTscom-
future, But 1t Took Long Time
Before He Could see the
Fun of 1t,

Snap. The front door blew shut and
a prominent y street citizen was
locked out. 1t was three o'clock in
the afternoon and there was no one
else at home. This, says the Washing
ton Star, wouldn't have mattered
much but for the fact that il had been
warm afternoon. The prominent cit
Izen had removed his clothing and
slipped on paiamas; he had come
downstairs 10 look at the thermom-
eter and find ont just how hot il real
~ was-and there he was in his own
vestibule with nothing on but pa jam
"a. with the inside door locked behind
him and the public highway filled
with pedestrians and equipages in
front Of him.
He quickly closed the outside door
and leaned against the wall to think
it over. Three O'Clock! No one could
possibly get home before five! Two
hours Of suspense, And then he dis
covered il was exceedingly warm in

back into the house or safely around
to the back door"
But Mr.. Prominent Citizen found it
hard to concentrate his mind in tenn
perature of 95. He was soon mopping
his brow with the sleeve Of his pa
iamas and swearing and kicking at the
door. He also -crapeG the skin off
his toes and bruised and scratched his
hands trying 10 force the door open
against its Will and determination TO
stay shut. He even wished he had not
been so particular about burglar
proof locks.
Finally he shouted. \ few people
whom he could see through the crack
in the outer door stopped in front
of his house and eyed il critically and
wagged their heads, as much As TO
say:
There's something crooked going
on in there. and then pass ed on. Vain

TO his neigh bors. They. too. must have
been living down, for there was no re-
sponse. -
For two terrible hours he raved and
fumed. and then be did a daring thing.
Watching his chance when there were
no women and but few men on the
street. he flung the outer door open.
sprang into the porch of his next
door neighborj and jabbed furiously
three or four times al the electric
push button. Then. before the aston
ished onlookers cogld recover their
surprise. he darted back into his own
veStibuie.
Joy. vt last! His neighbor's door
opened. With a glad cry the prisoner
yelled: Come over here. ! need your
help" The neighbor came and heard
the awful story. He was considerate
enough not to laugh, and without
comment went to the back of the
house. where he broke open awindow,
and in due time rescued his pajamaed
neighbOr.
He was sworn TO secrecy. but he be-
traved his trust. and now a whole
neighborhood is laughing at the cpl
sode. and the prominent citizen is be-
ginning to see the funny side of il.

Venerable Missouri Senator Thought

LOUISIANA, No, Dec. 25.-The Louisiana
Times, a democratic newspaper, will an
nounce in its issue today that Senator
George Graham Vest is willing to succeed
himself in the senate. ..
The editor of the paper, E. e. Campbell.

authority and intimates that Mr.. Vest
would take his seat again because he is not
pleased at the thought of having William
Joel Stone for a successor In the United
States senate. 4.-.
The Louisiana Times will say:
We are reliably informed that George
Graham Vest Is not ayerse TO succeeding
himself as United States stAttol for nn-
other term. We know just AS Reliably that
he Is not and never has been party to any
agreement by which any well known lobby
ist was to have this, the highest political
gift that the democratic party of this great
state can bestow.
1t may be that when he was suffering
bodily ills lot of cormorants surrounded
him and induced him to say he would not
reason that ever existed for such declina-
ton has been removed. for his health is
now excellent.
But a greater reason than his improved
health why his name should be used Is
that George Graham Vest seems to be just
now the only man that can save his party.
IL those who are sincere in their protes-
tations will take up the name of Senator
Vest as his own successor, w. j. Stone may
yet not be senator.
Congressman Champ Clark, d. A. De Ar

this movement along, much to the benefit

True, l have seen a number of private
patients in each OF the cities visited, but,
as you Americans say, in no instance have
they more than paid the freight" As
a matter of fact, it has been the physicians
of the various cities who have profted by
my visits. They are my colleagues, and
am glad they did, but you see, ] remained
only two, three, four, OF perhaps hVe days.
During that time 1 was working IN the
hospitals, in the clinics. The private pa
tients began TO come In and they were
operated upon by the local surgeons who
had witnessed my clinics. But am glad
/ came. The trip has been the crowning
success of my life. My trip here has been
successful ethically, but not materially.
Dr. Lorenz spoke gratefully Of the hos
pitality he had received at the hands Of the
Americans.
