JONES’ NIGHT OUT.

Jones “dined out” with an old acquaintance the other evening. “Don’t wait up for me, dear,” he said to his wife. “I may be rather late, but it can’t be helped.” At breakfast next morning he was stonily silent, so was the breakfast- I room clock. “Maria, dear, there must be something wrong with that clock. I am sure I wound it up last night,” he ventured at last. “No ” answered his wife. “You j wound up Freddy’s musical-box in- ' stead, and it played ‘Home, Sweet j Home’ till three in the morning, and j the hall clock has stopped.”
