Had a Reason.

A young man in Washington who many months ago hung up his shingle as “attorney at law,” has not yet been overwhelmed with clients. A friend, entering the office one day, observed on the desk a cheap alarm clock. “Taking it home, eh?” he observed. “Good thing at this time of the year. Everyone is liable to oversleep these mornings.” The lawyer smiled. “I have not purchased that clock for the reason you mentioned. I keep it here to wake me when It’s time to go home.”
