produces rather singular mental condi-
ton. It has caused a great many persons
to make rather close study of the side

them live in constant hope Of picking up
something very valuable. They have az

more or less valuable, and big rolls of mon

II know of one case Of this sort. a Young
man who has been so influenced by the
habit that he goes aIeng the street with his

made the statement to me a few days ago
that during the past year he had found six
silver dimes on the sidewalk and he had
gradually drifted into the ha bit Of searching
the sidewalk with his eyes as he passed

Serious Mixing of Letters.
y Center Times.

From the Clay Center Times.
A well-known citizen Of Clay Center h4d
been invited to an evening party. He
wanted to go, but his wife declared that
she had no gown suitable for the occasion
and asked him to send regrets to their
hostess. The man went down to his office
and penned this facetious note Of declina-
ton:
I'VE regret that your kind invitation must
be declined for all the conventional reasons,
but the real reason is that half the family
has nothing to wear. My wife's latest dress
Is over three weeks old, and her hat is
twelve hours out of date. You will appre-
ciate the hopelessness of the occasion and
excuse u.s."
He thought this pretty good, and he de-
termined to write note to his wife also eX-
planning that he would not be at home for
an early dinner, as she had asked him. He
said in this note:
II have turned down your invitation be-
cause l am going out to another evening
party where the guests are not expected to
wear anything of Importance. Sorry
won't be there to kiss you good night.
And then the fool man careiessly sent his
wife's note to the hostess and the hostess
