THE ATLANTIAN
July, 1918
First Editor: Sayl The facts about
the delay in airplanes may give aid
and comfort to the enemy.
Second Editor: Well, it won’t give
much aid and comfort to those who
jiave caused the delay, and maybe
they are the real enemy, anyway.
TOLD THE TRUTH.
“Ethel, can’t you tell us the shape
of the world? asked the ttacher en
couragingly.
“Yessum; it’s in a pretty bad shape,
just now,” replied the precious child,
who had heard her daddy say a few
things at home.—Florida Times Un-
“Why are you so much concerned
about your boy?”
"He’s too trusting. Why, he be
lieves everything that everybody tells
h'm.”
“That’s nothing. Who can tell?
He may grow up some day to be
Secretary of War.”
"That young politician is paying
you marked attention girlie.”
"Um yes. Another problem added
to our girlish troubles.”
“Eh, what?”
“Is he after me or my vote.”
—Louisville Courrier-Journal.
A CURE FOR CARE.
"Why is it, Sam. that one never
hears of a darkey committing sui
cide?” inquired the Northerner.
“Well, you see, it’s disaway, boss:
When a white persun has any trouble
he sets down an’ gits to studyin’
’bout it an’ a-worryin’. Then firs’
thing you know he’s done killed
hisse’f. But when a nigger sets down
to think ’bout his troubles, why, he
jes’ nacherly goes to sleep I”
THE KAISER’S LAST WORD.
Arthur Train, the novelist, put down
a German newspaper at the Century
Club, in New York, with an impatient
grunt.
"It says here,” he explained, “that
it is Germany who will speak the last
word in the war.”
Then the novelist laughed angrily
and added:
“Yes, Germany will speak the last
word in the war, and the last word
will be ‘Kamerad!’”—Washington
Star.
FINALITY.
“How did you come to break off
your engagement with Miss Snow
ball?” asked Uncle Moses of a dar
key.
“In the fust place, Uncle Moses,
she wasn’t berry young, and she
didn’t hab no money, and jawed like
the debbel, and, secondly, she would
not hab me, and went and married
another nigar, so I tuk de advice ob
my frens and jess drapped her.”—
Boston Transcript.
MRS. WIGG’S RIVAL.
In a South Side street in this city
lives a woman who, for optimism and
homely philosophy, takes rank with
Mrs. Wiggs of the well known and
justly famous “Cabbage Patch.”
This woman, with her husband and
family, was seated at the dinner table
one day not long since, when a knock
came 'to the door, and a friend called.
“Won’t <you come in for dinner?”
the housewife invited.
“Oh, no,” the caller answered, “you
have such a large family yourself it
would be a shame to put you to extra
trouble.”
“Oh,” was the cherry reply, “one
more don’t make a bit of difference.
All I have 'to do is put another cup
of water in the stew.”—Youngstown
Telegram.
“I’ll tell you, young man, we need
brains in this business.”
“I know you do, sir; that is why
I am offering you my services*”
