The word rent also means, in one sense, hole, which is what the average householder finds himself in about the time the other kiud comes due. In this re spect the Arabs are a lucky race because they carry their places of abode around with them and when they weary of scenery in one spot they move on to another. A m ar K hay am had this to say on the subject—although we aro not certain that he said it: ] “Comes now tho pesky landlord for his rent, And I, uzlueky gink, ain’t got a cent; The only way, it seems, to beat this game, Is take the doorbell off, or buy a tent.” However, any one who is fa miliar with Mister Ivhayam’s views of life will readily under stand the reason for his hard- u ppishness. In conclusion let us observe, that lent used to bo what a feller had left after paying tho grocery bill, But even that day has passed now. Correct this sentence: “Willie is a lucky hoy” said (he mother, “and 1 never am uneasy when he is down at the swimming pool.” The question is what soit of chaperons thp present flappers will make when they grow up, thinks Bill. “This is making a long story short,” said the kid as he slid down the bannister. A lot of people don’t find out that they were disappointed iu love until after they are married. Wo know a girl who was so dumb she though “This Freedom” was a book written by a flapper on the Corse Hess Ago. Bill thinks eyery girl should take exercise enough to enable her to carry her earrings without stooping. '• This Hebe Joe Of Writing Hum orous Stuff Is Really Serious Life Is Hard For The Judge The judge lias, got a. lot tact; He warms the bench and smiles Quite irregardlt»ss of the fact His life’s made.up of trials. A shaVk is a big fish, says Bill. So are men who think they are sharks. Moving pictures by rad ip will be great. You won’t need to tune in until the fourth-assistant di rector is introduced. They tell us that all the world Ums a lover, but Bill says that doesn’t make it any easier to go and speak to her father. I can’t ke^p this up much long er, said the frail strap on the evening gown. The millionaire pays ransome to get back some thing, says Bill one! pays alimony to get lid (f others. Ashes to ashes Dust to mud; This poem doesn’t, say What you thought it would The Hotel bill, the railroad Faro and the Bill of Fare make home look pretty good to the returned vacationist. All of us can romember when gasoline was only used to tak« spots out of our clothes.
