"What is on the docket for to-night?" asked Songbird, as he fell to eating. "Tom and I are going to take a little run in the auto to Hope," answered Sam. "Oh, I see!"

John Todd. His successor, a Mr.
Edmunds, tells also that once when he was at dinner with a banker who had recently "struck the docket" to secure payment from a friend of Borrow's, and the banker's wife said to him: "Oh Mr. Borrow, I have read your books with so much pleasure!" the great man exclaimed: "Pray, what books do you mean, madam? Do you mean my account books?" How touchy he was, Mr.
