tin presence of Governor McKelvIe at

tip" in a suit of Lincoln's best.. That
was a week ago. Since then a well
paid tailor worked hard and long on
a suit for the governor.
"Where Are Mr Pants" ; , -
At 2 this afternoon' the governor
received word that the suit had ar
rived, Later he- hurried home to
dress and prepare for his trip. Sud
denly from his dressing room, tame
the following: - '
"Martha, my new pants." . . ' -
"Sam, I laid them out on tlie bed,"
Mrs. McKclvie called;
It will be remembered that state
ment, nevet refuted, was printed last
winter to the effect that Mrs. McKel
yic did her own housed work, t
"But they're some one else's pant,"
shouted the governor. "Get hold of
that tailor sndfscnd the chauffeur
right down to his shop."
l ive minutes later a big touring
car broke, all speed law a it round
ed the HcKelvie yard and drove out
in the street. ' ' k v
Mrs.", McKelvIe, busy with her
packing,' appealed to Louis W,
Home, the secretary at rite state
house, or help. " : -

Callers in the governor's office, dis
tuning important affair of state,
halted,' astounded as Home started
a systematic search for the governor's
trousers. . " .',:- 1
"Hello." , ..'
"Hello.. ' ' :
"Where are the governor's pants?
"Yes, but they are not his pants.
."Look and see if yon can hud them,
;"ThaukGod." .
"Fifteen minutes later Governor and
Mrs. McKeWic sank relieved Into the
deep scats of ah castbound obscrva.
tion car 'and ,it was noted that the
latest cut coat, worn by- the govcr.
nor, jibed with a' wonderful pair of
