A maa ia said to be absent-minded -when he things he has left his watch at home and takes it out of his vest pocket to see if lie has fcime to return home to get it.
In the office of one cf the hotels, recently, a gentleman snapped his finger to a bootblack, nnd as he put his foot on the box he said : 1 You look like a good, smart boy.' See here mister!' replied the boy as he rose up, a brush in either hand, 'I've had that game played on me a dozen times, and now I want to know whether this is a cash shine or whether you are gsing to pat me on the head when I get through and tell me that I'll be Q-overnoi* of Michigan some day ?'— Detroit Free Press
