Now He Writes Legibly.

A well-known musician who writes
a very illegible hand once sent an
unusually hopeless scrawl to friend.
The latter studied it a minute, gave
it up in despair, and then sat down
and wrote in reply, Il shall be most
happy to dine with you tomorrow at
six. Kind regards to your wife.
Yours, etc" In less than half an
hour his friend appeared, breathless,
at his door. There's some misunder-
standing" said he, anxiously. Il wrote
you a note asking if you could play
the plano part of the trio at Browns
recital, and here you've sent me an
acceptance Of a dinner invitation;
I'm sorry, but I didn't invite you to
dinner" WELL returned the other
blandly, 81 didn't suppose you'd really
sent me an invitation to dinner. But
/ couldn't read a word Of your note,
and in that case hereafter l mean al
ways to take it for granted that you're
asking me to dine" For one OF his
correspondents, at least, the offender
now writes legibly.

WOULD ASK FOR EXPLANATION
Not Hard to Imagine Uncomfortable
Few Minutes for Chauffeur, the
Victim of Joke.

A practical joke was played the
other day in washington. A man who
has something of reputation as a
wag was the writer's companion, and
we were passing fashionable store.
There, drawn up, were three or four
motor cars, among them a Limousine
with the chauffeur fast asleep. Evi.
IDENTIFY the mistress was inside the
store.
Without a word the wag stole quick
ly up, and opening the motor car door
carefully, slammed it shut. In a mo-
ment the chauffeur Strengthened up.
Then he stole a look over his Shout
der and saw the Wag standing, hat
in hand, apparently talking to some
one inside the car.
Thank you, yes; good-day," said
the wag, and bowed himself gracefully
away from the door, turning as he did
so to look at the chauffeur and say
"Home!"
Yes, sir" Honk honk! and off went
the car, home"
Where that home was, who the
mistress of the carriage was, or what
she did when she came out of the
store, or what the chauffeur did when
he stopped at the door of home" and
found the limousine empty, all that
only the chauffeur and the lady know.

GAVE OFFICE UP TO GLYNN
Shlzer Has Stepped Out to Await Re-
suit of His Trial

Albany, n. Y, Sept. 20.-Counsel
for William Sulzer lost the first
skirmish in a legal battle they be-
gan yesterday at the second session
of the high court of impeachment, to
prevent the accused executive from
coming to trial. Their objections to
permitting four senators to sit as
members of the court were overrul-
ed. They next attacked the validity
of the impeachment with a motion to
dismiss the proceedings, but failure
to complete their argument when adj
journment was taken until Monday
prec1uded a decision.
Meanwhile Governor Sulzer for
mally conceded that he had no right
to exercise the functions of chief ex-
ecutive pending the decision of the
trial and turned over to Acting Gov
ernor Glynn the extradition papers
for prisoner, and declaring he did
it because the executive functions
should be performed by him as act
ing governor.
