Show His Little Slip. A well known business man who lives in the suburbs and usually goes home by the 5:3 train, met a friend the other day and was persuaded to remain in town for the evening and attend a smoker. He was at a loss for a moment how to square himself with his wife, but finally, going to the telegraphed office, he wired: "Hissed the -5:30 train. Do irtt keep dinner -waiting. Will be home late." It was a good deal later when he reached home, and his wife met him at the door. "Did you get my message, dearest," he asked quickly, hoping to forestall the trouble. "Yes," she replied in chilly accents, "and I would like you to explain why you sent a -wire at 4:28 teling me you had missed the 5:30 train." Pearson's Pear-son's Weekly. |
