MENT ON HIS FRIEND.
Jeweler M W. Hill is a royal enter
tainer and frequently invites his gen
tleman friends to meal. The other |
day he invited a newspaper man to
occupy the other side of the table and
as usual provided fine meal. The

cold-air box but the dinner was eaten
while both shivered and shook with
the cold. On leaving the house Mr.
Hill discovered the front door wide
open, with the thermometer 10 degrees
above zero. A few days previous Mr.
Hill appeared at his house for dinner
at TO- 5 a. M, and was informed by his
daughter that dinner would be ready
at II. His intimate friends think he

know how to account for it. In order
to get even the newspaper man has
lodged bill with Hill to pay the doc
tors bill, which was contracted in
curing a cold caught at that Dime r.
