HARD LUCK ON BOTH.
Once a reporter went round to a certain residence to get details for his paper about the master of the house. The reporter was surprised when the gentleman's wife refused to give him any information, and slammed the door in his face, and retired into the house. Presently the door bell rang more furiously than before. Still the lady of the house would not stir. "I have told him that I don't want to say anything about my husband," she thought to Jierself, "and he has no right to be so persistent." So she sat still, while the door bell rang again, and again, and again. At last she could stand it no longer.' So, opening a window over the front door, she poked her head out and remarked severely: "Young man, I do not desire to say anything to you. Kindty do not disturb me any more. Go away, young man."
"I can't!" roared the reporter, beside himself with exasperation. "You've shut my coat-tails in th© door!"
