FORREST CITY TIMES

AN ABSENT-MINDED MAN.
He Dressed for a Dinner Party, But
Forgot to Don Nether
Garments.
A group of representatives huddled
Around one of the smoking room fire
places were talking the other afternoon
of the well known absent mlndecness
of Mr Cannon, in connection with the
story of the speaker's having recenuy
made his appearanc • at the capitol wear
ing two collars and noc ravat, relates the
Washington Poet.
"Well, there are other absent minded
ones beside the 'old man.' " remarked
a democratic representative from the
south. "Our own man. John Sharp Wil
liams. can forget the ordinary affairs of
life itse f pretty Well, when his mind is

'■Williams and i roomed in the same
house here during the session three or
four years ago. My room was right
across the hall from his and 1 used to
crop in on him of evenings for a chat
One evening 1 found him preparing to go
out to a dinner. He had made a hot po
litical speech in the house that day and
he was thinking it over—thinkingof the
good, snappy points be had forgotten tc
make, of course, like all the rest of us
who engage in these poet-prandial post
mortem-4 Anyway, he was a whole lot
preoccupied.
"He had his vest and coat on when 1
dropped in on him and was putting the
Cinshing dabs to his necktie. Then he
buttoned up bis vest and turning to me
" Say, do I look all right?' he askec
me
“ Well, 1 have seen worse ' I told him
'But, say. don't you think it would be th»
au fait kink for you to don a pair of—ei
—trousers?'
"Yep. he'd forgotten ’em and he
blushed a lot when 1 told him of his little
aversight.
" By George.' he gasped when he hac
got fixed out all right, Tin glad thatyoi
happened to come in, old man!' "

COOD - HUMORED MOTHER.
Help* Her Children by Not Taking
Their Shortcomings Too
Serioucly.
There are many iotim lentious fathers
and mothers who make themselves and
their children miserable by taking youth
foibles too seriously, says Good House
keeping It is an innate propensity of a
child possessed of average good health
and spirits to make older people laugh
w ith him—not at him. but at the things
that seem amusing to his own sense
And the mother who has the blithe and
ready humor to enter into his fun be
comes his most fascinating companion
He heeds her rebukes and bends to her
correction without ill-feeling, where
sternness would arouse his pride and ire
for he is assured that she Is ready tc
share all his innocent pranks and that
her disapproval has no foundation in im
I atience or injustice And w hen the day
arrives that "childish things are put
away" and the grown men and women
look backward to their early homes
with w hat a throb of pleasure they say.
when things happen: "Mother would
appreciate this: she had the quickest
sense of humor of any woman you ever
saw!" And underneath these lighr
words is the thought: "How happy
that dear mother mace me. and how 1
love her!”
Absolutely Contented.
Mrs. Jenks—Are you perfectly satis
fied with your new- dress?
Mrs Speitx—Yes. indeed. The man I
love best thinks It s beautiful and the
woman I love least has pretended to turn
up ter nose at it —Philadelphia Ltd*ir.

remark that there was no talk of pro
