"FATE WAS AGAINST HIM


Mr.. Gay Boys wife declares that he
has taken his "A. M" degree. judging
by the way he comes home in the wee
sma' hours of the morning.
One night last week, when he had
arrived at his house about 4:30, just
as the gray dawn of the morning was
breaking, 1t was with the strict de-
termination that he would go to sleep
at once. and not be interviewed by his
better half"
As soon as he entered the door and
tipped noiselessly Gas he thought) up
the stairs, and crept into his own lit
tie private sanctum, he threw on the
electric light and shuffled off his
clothes as quickly as he could, and
jumped in his blue striped pajamas,
and sat down on the side of his little
bed and soliloquized as follows:
Nobody had stolen the key hole, so
got in without any trouble"
Il put the cat out, as well as the
hall light"
THE dog was chained"
Il emptied the drip pan of the re-
frigerator."
The cook took the silver to bed with
her, so 1 didn't have to bother about
that"
'"I mailed Pets letter as soon as I
got to town."
Nobody sent her any message"
Il didn't encounter her mother"
Nobody died during the evening
that we were interested in"
Nobody was born that we knew"
81 didn't hear of any marriage pr
engagement among our acquaintance"
II was detained at the office"
IT hung all my clothes carefully on
the racks
IT didn't hear single piece of scan
dali
II took my shoes off down stairs to
keep from waking her up"
IT want two soft boiled eggs for
breakfast"
Il want a gallon of ice water before
that" \
II think that's ALL"
SO
"Out goes the light, and me for sweet
dreams and my downy couch!"
With triumphant smile upon his
placid countenance, as of duty we'll
performed, Mr.. Gay Boy reached for
the electric button to reduce himself to
darkness and oblivion, when the door
suddenly creaked and he was earth
.quaked by the query from his wife:
why didn't you take off your hat?"
