As I have just an hour at noon I got everything ready before I left In the morning, that could be pre pared and set on the ice. I made a lovely salad, a dessert, prepared for toasted muffins and tea and set my ta ble in all Its glory, even buying some flowers for a centerpiece. My guests met me at the office and we went to the apartment. What do you think I had done? Left my keys inside and locked the door! "There was absolutely no way for us to get in. The janitor had a pass key, but he was away. All the windows on the Are escapes were locked, and no other key in the building fitted. There was nothing to do but take my guests to a restaurant. Then I found that I had not even brought my purse from the office, never dreaming that I should need it. I had to ask my guests for money to pay for the luncheon, and, as It happened, they only had a quar ter each above their carfare. We went to the cheapest place we could find and had sandwiches and coffee. Wasn't that funny?" -- Philadelphia Ledger. • . •V Accommodating. ••Some years ago," saya a Boaton lawyer, "a man in Nantucket was tried for a petty offense and sentenced to four n*»nths in jail. A few days after the trial the Judge who had im posed sentence, " in cftmpany with the sheriff, was on his way to the Boston boat, • when they passed a man busily engaged in sawing Wood. 'The man stopped his work, touched his hat politely and said, 'Good morn ing, your honor.' "The judge, after a carefhl survey of the man's face, asked: "'Isn't that the man 1 sentenced to Jail a few days ago? ' 'Yes,' replied the sheriff, with some hesitation, 'that's the man. The fact Is, judge, we--er--we don't happen to have anybody else in jail just now, so we thought it would be a sort of use less expense to hire some one to keep the jail four months just for this one man. So I gave him the jail key and told him it would be all right If he'd sleep there o' nights.'" -- Harper's Weekly-. HU Belief. - v -• A drunken carter came into riage of the Greenock train and sat opposite a clergyman who was read ing his paper. Recognizing the pro fession of his vis-a,-vls, the carter In a little while leaned forward and in a maudlin way remarked, "I don't be lieve there's ony heaven." The clergyman paid po heed. "Do ye hear me?" persisted the carter. "I don't believe there's ony heaven." Still the clergyman remained silent behind his newspaper. The carter, shouting his confession this time loudly, said, "I tell ye to your face, and you're a minister, that I don't believe there's ony heaven." 'Very well/' said the clergyman, "if you do not believe there is a heaven go elsewhere, but please-go quietly."-- London Graphic. One of the Lucky Ones.

"Let it be said again, this is not a lawyers' fight; the people shall, do and wUl rule. The frantic effort to freeze out Mr. Whitney by combining the can didates has failed miserably. Never was a greater mistake made. It has solidified voters in big Lake county for Jauge Frost and mads the voters of .Winnebago county indignant that Judge Frost should be used as a cat's paw to save some of his weaker colleagues from defeat. Under the primary law there should be no pooling of candidacies; each candidate should stand, as Mr. Whitney is standing, alone before the people, who alone are to elect him.
