EPH HAD NOTHING TO SAY
Absent.Minded Man Didn't Wait to
Make Explanation of Somewhat
Lauehabe Situation.

Old Ephraim Davis had the repu-
tation of being the most absent-mind-
ed man in ChenangO county. One day
he went to S. on various matters
of business. At the tailor's he bought
a new suit, which he donned, asking
that his old one be wrapped up. He
then went to the national bank and
purchased bonds Of considerable value
and placed them in the breast pocket
of his new suit. After doing several
other errands he drove leisurely home.
Some time afterWard he went to get
the bonds from the pocket Of his old
suit. Naturally, he did not find them
there. Greatly perturbed, lie put on
his new suit and set off for s..
There he went Immediately to the
bank.
Il bought some bonds here the 9TH
err day." he began in his drawing
voice, 'and I put them right in this
here pocket" His hand went up to
his coat. At a sudden rustling that
ensued an expression 1udicrous in it's
mixture of shamefacedness and relief
came into the wrinkled countenance.
"And, by gosh, here they be-"
Without another word he turned on
his heel and walked out,;sIcaving the
bank employees convulsed with laugh
