Looked into the Wall.

A rather peculiar case of absentmind-
edness was that related of Peter Bur-
rowes, an Irish lawyer. A friend who
called on Burrowes at an early hour
one morning found him shaving with
his face held close to an empty wall.
"What on earth are you assuming that
attitude for?" he asked.
ITO look in the glass;" was the re-
ply. --. ..sg
"But there's no glass there" laughed
the acquaintance. s::g. =. s .:s5s...5S
"Bless you! didn't notice that be-
FORE" said Burrowes, and then, calling
come of the mirror. 4 !.
"Why. sir" said. the man, 1T was
broken six weeks ago." ~. 81

in the office, undertook to reprove
him. Among other derelictions it had
been reported that written instruc-
lions to inform visitors that a certain
member of the firm was only visible
at certain times, that the calls and
orders of the head of the firm must
always be given precedence, and that
the private secretary, a young lady,
must be kept supplied with fresh
drinking water had been disobeyed.
Said Dick, s~ternly: Look here.
boy, what did I tell you about Mr..
Blank and Mr.. So-and-So and Miss
Dane?"
Answered James with a surprising
mixture of shame and impudence:
You told me that Mr.. Blank would
be in the office some time on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday,
that l gotter humor old So-and-So or
lose my job, and that l gotter water
Miss Dane twice a day. An tell yer

HAS SENSE OF HUMOR
MERRY sPINsTER NOT SENSITIVE
AS I'd HER AVolRDUPoIs.
Thereby Her Friends Have Been Re-
called With Two Really Funny
Stories Connected With Physi-
Cal Help She Received.

Most stout women are sensitive
about their weight. A certain large
and merry spinster, to whom an &C
ciden resulting in a permanently
weakened ankle has for some years
forbidden her to take the exercise that
used to keep her comparatively slen-
der, is a fortunate exception. Her
weight is well over 200 pounds, but,
she neither worries nor repines, and
often entertains her friends with
jokes at her OWL expense. 1t is very
difficult for her to get on and off a.
trolley ar; indeed, she cannot do SO,
without help. )
That's all right, ma'am," a rough
looking man, who had jumped down
and almost lifted her aboard, recently
replied to her thanks. Me and Bill
have to carry ma upstairs every night,
and mas heftier'n you be-"
But Bill wasn't here to help, and
I'm very, very betty" she answered,
smiling.
"oh, well, I've tackled ma alone.
sometimes" he admitted, though 1
amt saying that halfway up the stairs
one-half my brains wasn't inventing
a passenger derrick, and the other
half wondering If she'd smother me,
falling on top. Boosting you was
nothing to that, ma'am; and there's
only n step to a car"
She chuckles most delightedly, how
ever, when she relates that, last sum-
mer, after having travelled all night,
she reached, very early in the morn
ing, a small country town, whence
h was to take the stage for a 20
mile drive to a friends mountain cot
tage. The station was deserted, and
she was glad to accept the help of a
small boy, who, with great difficulty,
got her, with all her bags and bundles.
into the empty stage, to which the
horses had not yet been attached.
Il don't know what 1 should have
DONE" she told the freckled little fell
low, gratefully, "if l hadn't happened
to find such an obliging cavalier, wait
ing to help me when most everybody
is still abed."
"Yes'm," he assented, with a wide,
ingenious smile. 81 was down to see
EN- unload the circus, and they let
me help with the elephants and the
baby hippopotamus. That's how 1t
happened 1 could help you, ma'am."-
