A Story of Every Day Life.

A Chicago boy who knows a funny thing when he sees it has written out and forwarded to us the following story, which he says is founded or facts: A LINEN LUNCH. This is the way it happen. Jim started to work with his lunch done up in newspaper. His laundry, which consist of three collars and two or three handkerchiefs, looked about the same size and hape as his lunch. Jim called his chum, who work at the same place, to walk with him to work. As they walked along Jim stop at a laundry and laid his laundry on the counter (any way he thought he did) and ran out to proceed on journey downtown. When Jim reach the shop he laid his lunch on the bench. Nothing happen until dinner time. Jim went and got his lunch and remarked, “I bet you, I’ve got something for lunch that you haven’t.” Jim proceeded to open his package, but to his surprise and that of everybody else he found three collars and some handkerchiefs for dinner.—Chicago Times-Herald.
