MARTHA GRANT, Ottawa, Ont,
A Stupid Butler.
Spanish people Seem to suffer from
the stupidity of some of their ser-
vants, if the following story, which
appeared. in a Madrid journal, is
true. It seems that a lady ordered
her butler one morning to tell alt
visitors that she was not at home. At
night when enumerating the persons
who had. called during .the day, he
mentioned the lady's sister, when his
mistress exclaimed: " I told you man,
that I was always at home for my
sister ! You ought to have shown her
in."
Next day the lady went out to
make a few calls, and during her
absence her sister came to the house.
Is your mistress at home? she ask-
ed the butler.
Yes, madam, was the reply.
The lady went upstairs, and look-
ed everywhere for her sister. On
coming downstairs, she said to the
butler, " My sister must have gone
out, for I could not find her.
Yes, madam, she has gone out, but
she told me last night that she was
always at home for you.--liarper's
