IT WORKED WELL.
His Scheme Succeeded Even Though
It Did Upset the Family.


An excited man rushed into the Of

of words.
Say" he paused. you remember
well enough that ] was in here for two
hours this morning. don't you-mcbbe
two and a half. but two anyhow"
The banker nodded that he recalled
that fact.
"Uh. huh," went on the excited man.

or more included the hour between 10
and II O'clock. didn't they? You re-

"Ah, I nm glad you remember. Now,
If my wife calls up and asks you II l
was here right in sight every minute
Of the time from 10 to II you could
tell her SO truthfully enough. couldn't
you? Good! What do you think?
You know that fellow Smith that lives
right next door to us? Always seem
ed like a nice fellow. but what do you
s'pose he did this morning? On his
way by the house he tells my wife
that I've just been arrested for insult
ing q woman down on the public
square about 1890 and that I then
got into a fight with her husband. who
managed to punch my face for me be.
fore the police got there.
Smith thought it'd be a great joke.
I s'pose. Yeh. Funny one. wasn't It?
And now my wife called me up and
won't believe there wasn't anything
to 1t. Says the reports may have been
exaggerated. but surely something
must have happened. Gee! I'm glad
you're able to prove an alibi for me.
Well, l must get along. This things
upset me so that I've had to let my
work just sort of Slide"
The banker waited for the wife to
call him up. intending to do every.
thing in his power for the acquittal OF
his friend. In about three-quarters OF
an hour the friend came rushing In
again. This time he was smiling and
was less excited.
"It's all right" he said. "Here's
how 1t all happened. My wife had an
awful spell Of h~iccoughing and ran
over to the Smiths to see II they knew
any way to stop 1t. Smith had heard
that sudden fear or sudden consterna'
ton would stop 1t. so he faxed up the
story about me insulting the woman
His scheme worked. except my wife
wouldn't believe him at first when he
told her that he'd just said it to stoE

an india rubber cushion for her greater

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., at a dinner
in New York, admitted that he was
not a gourmet.
"These fat. red faced men," he said,
"only amuse me. They know all the
