Show Jim Knew. While Gov. Willson of KentucK) was home-bound last winter owing to a strained tendon in his leg he was attended by "Jim," who has been general gen-eral factotum to many governors, and who was a source of much fun among statehouse attaches. The lame leg caused the governor to move his office temporarily to the mansion, where he received many delegations. On one occasion Mrs. Willson had waited luncheon for 30 minutes, and she told his excellency that he must come down and eat with her. "My dear, said Mr. Willson, "just as soon as I see that delegation of men downstairs I'll be with you." Mrs. Willson was determined de-termined and said: "Jim, you go down and tell them to wait." "Jim," frowned the governor, as that worthy started off t.'- obey the mistress of the mansion "J1m, you know who ia governor, don't you?" "Yas, sir," grinned Jim, with seeming innocence; "yas, sir. I ll go down and tell the i gemmen to wait, sah." Kansas City Star. |
