The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-22
THE ABSENT MINDED JONES

i by fellow toWnsman, and. of course,
he was in hot water. He had COM
mitted bigamy. and the widow felt so
wronged and insulted that she caused
his arrest at once When he was ar
rested, all he could say was:
Dear, dear me, but I'd clean for
gotten that was ever married. I'm
not sure that / ever really was be-
fore, but If they say so shall have to
believe it.''
The judge said that matrimony was
too sacred to be trifed with in that
way, and Jones was sent to jail until
he could get bail. There was q delay
of three or four days, and he caught a
heavy cold in his damn cell and died
of pneumonia before the case came to
trial. When his wife came on to see
him, she upbrafded him, as was only
| natural. and he replied:
How was I to remember when ]
had so much else to think about2 You
ought to have tied string around
| my finger or put it down on one of the
books. Yes, 1 remember now that
we were married about fifteen years
ago. How are the children, or didn't
we ever have any?"
An hour before he died, and when
told death was near he quietly re-
piled:
$50 I'm going TO die. eh?. 1t sort O.
seems as If r. had died before, but
mebe not. I'll tryr and remember about
1t this time. however!"
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-22

Jones, of Greenville, was probably the
most absent-minded man in the state
of Pennsylvania or any other state to
be named. There were even times
when he forgot that he was married
and 1t was one of these lapses that
brought about his death. If he wasn't
bothered with business he remem-
bered that he had wife and two chill
dren. If business matters vexed him,
he might say to any woman who en-
tered his store:
Five yards of calico, Ell? Certainly
madam. I do not remember to have
seen your face before. May inquire

1t is Johnson and I have known
you for the last seven years"
