Willet was in a hurry to get away
from the Office. He looked at his
watch. Rapidly he scratched away
at letter to his washerwoman.
Dear Madam" he wrote. 81 should
be obliged if you would send me the
pair of socks left with you last week,
unless you are keeping them as a
souvenir
Willet was a facetious man ard
loved a joke. Then he hurriedly
picked up another sheet and wrote:
Dear Ethel received your invi-
tation and shall be delighted to dine
with you tomorrow night"
He carelessly addressed two ell
velopes, and without a second look at
the notes he showed each in an en-
velope and dropped them down the
mail chute
No. Ethel did not get the washer
Woman's letter. Neither did the wash
erWoman get the note intended for
Ethel.
Where is the joke? Well. there is
hardly any joke attached to this anec
dote. 1t is more in the nature of the
problem story.
There is moral, however. Willet
finally married Ethel and she hen
pecks him dreadfully, so the neigh

often the right thing in disguise. But.

Courtesy in Passing.

When the late Samuel G. King was
Mayor of Philadelphia, he was walking
out Chestnut street one afternoon with
William S. Bum, who had for the
time being given up candidatorial poll
tics for weekly journalism. 1t was
early'in Kings administration, and the
question of negro policemen was one
of general local interest. He and
Bum talked on the sub ect from the
mayors Office, then at Fifth street, I'M
til they neared Broad, when they were
bumped against by a couple of sky
larking gamins, newsboy and a shoe
black. The dignifed old mayor turned,
patted one of the boys on the head
and asked:
Now, what is your name, my son?'
"Carney-Dick Carney" replied the
gamin, cycling his honor suspiciously-
Bum, too, was puzzled, but his
amazement grew when the mayor
turned, faced him, pulled the boy
gently around and went on.
"Wen, Mr.. Carney, permit me to in
troduce my friend, Mr.. Bum, formerly
Governor of Idaho. Mr.. Bum, MIR.
Carney"
Bum and the bootblack gasped, me-
chemically shook hands and stared at
the mayor, who courteously raised his
head and said. Good afternoon, Mr..
Carney" and then continued on his
walk taking up the discussion of the
''foorce' where he had been inter
rupted by the collision.-Philadelph
Times.
