Not Going That Way.

“MiBS Adkins, there Is something I desire very much to ask you.” “O, Mr. Wllliston—l mean Fred — I’m sure I should be delighted to hear —l’m sure I mean, what is there that you can possibly wish to ask me?” ‘‘Would you be willing to go on a long journey with me?” "A very, very long journey, Fred?” “Yes, q very, very long journey.” “Yes, I will go with you—of course. I I suppose It is the journey that a man and a woman take together only once in a lifetime?” “Well, as a rule, I suppose 11 wouldn’t be taken more than once. You see, my mother and I are thinking of taking a trip to Japan, and she thought it would be nice If I could find someone who would be willing to go as a sort of traveling companion and maid to her In return for having her expenses piild.” “O! Well, you Just tell your homely mother that when I wish to hire out I'll look for some other kind of a job."—Chicago Record-Herald.
