He Registered,

An amusing incident was witnessed at one of the precinct polling places re- cently during registration while an ef- fort was being made to keep out of town students from registering. A big, awk-

ward medical student presented himself. |

He looked as though he could be easily tripped up on questions, and he was picked out for a ‘‘soft mark,’’ but right

mistake, as results proved. The student

was brighter than he looked. The fol-|

lowing dialogue ensued:

**Where do you live?’’

For reply the student gave his street Dumber.

‘*Yes, but where is your home?’’

**Columbus.”’

“Well, where would you goif you were sick?’’

This was intended to make him give the name of the place whence he came to Columbus, but it didn’t. He promptly replied :

‘*Why, I would go to bed.’’

He registered. —Columbus Dispatch.

HER LETTER DIDN’T GO.

It Was Her Husband's Fault, and Jt Net- ted Her Nearly $20,000,

Years ago a Cleveland man gave his wife a piece of what he supposed was worthless Missouri land, a tract which he had taken in settlement from a debt- or. It was a 240 acre section, and from year to year be sent the few dollars which were required for taxes. If it hadu’t been for this small outlay, he might have forgotten all about it. The property had been put in his wife's pame, and a few weeks ago she was surprised to receive a letter from an attorney at Jefferson City maxing her

ter, in which the writer said he had found a man who would take the tract for the timber that was on it and was willing to give $600 for the property. The lawyer went on to say that he con- sidered it avery fair offer. Half the farm was swamp and the other half rock, and it was positively the first bona fide inquiry regarding the proper- ty that he had heard of. “‘The man who makes the offer is an erratic and touchy sort of fellow,’’ wrote the law- yer, ‘‘and I think it would be well to nail him before he changes his mind.’’

The wife showed the letter to her husband, who shared her pleased sur- prise.

‘‘That’s pretty good,’’ he chuckled. **I never expected to get the taxes back on it. It’s just as bad as he says it is— half swamp and half rock. I bad a man who was prospecting out that way go over and look at it. He said it was worth about $2 an acre. Sit down and write the lawyer that you'll accept bis offe, and ask him to forward the papers at once.”’

So the wife sat down and wrote the letter, and just as the busband was starting for the office ina great burry— he always fancied he was late—zhe gave it to him to mail. He slipped it in his inside overcoat pocket, grasped his umbrella and was off.

Once or twice thereafter his wife al- luded to the farm transaction and won- dered when the papers wovid be along. The husband replied in am absentmind- ed way—he was full of engrossing busi- ness at the time—and when two weeks had elapsed they both began to think that the deal had fallen through,

One morning, just as the husband was starting for down town, the post- man brought a letter for the wife.

‘*Why, it isthe Jefferson City post- mark!’’ she cried. ‘‘Let’s see what ha says.’’

She tore the envelope open, hastily skizamed over a few lines and then look- ed up with a little shriek.

‘*Read that, Georye!’’ she cried,

And this is what George read:

‘*Dear madam, of course I knew what . it meant when you failed to answer my proposition. You were investigating, and I don’t blame you. I made my offer in the hope that you would snap at it, but it is evident you haven't snapped. I didn’t dare to put the offer any higher for fear of arousing your suspicions, and perhaps I got it tou high asit was, Hav- ing made my little confession—your husband will tell you it was all a trick of the trade—I will come down to busi- ness. I represent a mining company, and we are develcping a tract south of here and need your farm. We will give you $20,000 cash for it. That’s the limit we are willing togo. Iwill admit there is another company in the same field, but I feel sure that your advices from here will convince you that the offer we make is a very liberal one. The moment we hear from you favorably the cash will be deposited to your credit here ia the First National bank. Kindly advise me as to your intentions at the earliesé possible moment.’’

The husbaad looked at the wife.

**Well, by George!’’ he said.

A wild light was in the wife’s eye.

‘“‘Wh-what does this mean?’’ she cried.

George fumbled in his inside pocket.

‘‘There,’’ he said as he drew forth the letter which never went, ‘‘that’s what it means,”’

‘*I’)l have to forgive you this time,”* she said.

‘Try it again,’’ he cheerfully sug- gested, ‘‘Accept the second offer, and | after I send a telegram or two I can | guarantee that it will go.’’

*‘I’m afraid I can’t trust you.”’

“Tl carry it in’ my hand to the of- fice.’’

And so a bad and quite inexcusable failing was the means of putting a beau- tiful gilding on last Christmas day in that household.—Cleveland Plain Deai- er.
