He Did Put It In.

A modest-looking lady entered the Enquirer office and inquired for a local. One of tlie staff volunteered his services, whereupon the young woman, with a hand that trembled" slightly, presented him with a bit of paper, on which was written the following: “Mr. John Smitlierman is a happy man. His w ife has presented him with a bouncing ten-pound boy. Now he can sing “Baby mine, baby mine.” The local read and blushed, whereupon the young lady blushed. Then after a brief silence she ventured: “Will you put it in? “Certainly,” was the unavoidable response. “To-morrow?” ‘ ‘To-morrow. ” ‘ ‘Sure?” “Sure.” “Good evening.” “Good evening.” That’s all, and here it is. We suppose, of course, that mother and child are doing well. The young lady looked healthy. (.Unciuna!i. Enquirer.
