-“Papa is it necessary to whip
me?”
“You ought to know.”
“Well, I sometimes think you
don’t realize how little good it docs
me.”
Quite Safe
Mrs. Newrich—You will be care
ful on my new polished floor, won’t
you, plumber?
Plumber—Don’t worry about me,
lady. I won’t slip. I’ve got hob
nails in me boots.
Coming and Going
“No man can escape the govern
ment today.”
“No; it cither gives him all he
has, or takes all he has!”
No Trouble at All
Mrs. Flitter—Have any difficulty '
making yourself understood while in
Paris?
Mrs. Skippc—Not a bit. 1 didn’t
try to talk French.
Satisfied
“Did you get a good allowance on
the car you traded in for a new i
one?”
“Well, not as much ns I expect- j
cd, but then, 1 didn’t expect to.”
Wisecrucker
“Hullo! What are those red marks
on your coat?”
“Rust. My tailor said this stuff
would wear like iron.”
CONTRACTS THEM, OF COURSE
j
-
“Why are winter days shorter
than those of summer?”
“The cold contracts them, of
course.”
(
An Undesirable Impression
"So you see no future for social
ism?”
“None whatever," replied Senator
Sorghum, “at least not in my part
of the country. As soon as you talk
to those people about a genera! dis
tribution of wealth, they take it for
granted that you haven’t any worth
noticing and shake you.”
Practical
“What is it that fine feathers
make, Tommy?”
“1 don’t know, teacher.”
“Oh, yes, you do know. New
think—fine feathers make fine—”
“I really don’t know, teacher.”
“Yes, you do, Tommy. It begins
with the letter ‘b.’ ”
“O, yes—beds, teacher.”
Or Don’t Wear Any
“Say, Jane, there’s a hole in my
vest.”
“Oh that's no matter; your coat’ll
cover it.”
“But that’s torn, too.”
“Well, haven’t you an overcoat?”
No Loser Wanted
“Waiter, what’s the matter with
this chicken?”
“It’s been in a fight, sir.”
“Well, take it back and bring me
the winner.”
Will lie He Surprised!
Master of Works—Does the fore
man know the trench has fallen in?
Workman—Well, sir, we be dig
gin’ ’im out to tell ’im.
Snake Can’t Milk
A snake could not possibly milk
a cow, even if the cow raised no ob
jections. The shape of its mouth
makes the feat impossible, and the
sharp teeth would stampede the
gentlest of cows. It’s just a snake
story that will not stand up under
sensible thinking.

1 The legend of the redbud tree is to |
the effect that the redbud or Judas
tree once had white flowers, but that
when Judas hanged himself upon the

REFLECTED ON HIS CHARACTER '
1
In the country store he came
across the first mirror he had ever
seen.
‘‘l say,” he exclaimed, “here’s a
picture of my granddad. How much
do you want for it?”
“Five dollars," said the assistant.
The old man paid the money and
started home with the mirror. Get
i ting near, he decided he’d better
' not let the old lady find he had paid
so much for a picture of his grand
dad, so he hid it in the hayloft.
Each day he would go down and
spend long minutes with it.
Becoming worried about his long
visits to the barn, his wife followed
the old man, and, at the first oppor- !
tunity, took a look into the mirror
for herself.
“Oh, yes!” she exclaimed a few
minutes later, as she threw a flat
iron at the old man’s head: “I see
why you spend so much time at the
barn—down there lookin’ at that
hussy’s picture!”
QUITE AS MUCH
Very Fat Man (in doorway)—Am I
; intruding very much?
Plain Speaker—Quite as much as
you’re protruding, I’d say.
Know Now?
A correspondent endeavors to de
scribe the difference between clerks
and managers as follows:
“A clerk 1$ a man who knows a
great deal about very little, and
who goes on knowing more and
more about less and less, until final- !
]y he knows everything about prac- !
I lically nothing.
“A manager is a man who knows j
very little about a great deal and j
who goes on knowing less and less 1
about more and more until finally 1
he knows nothing about practically
everything.”
All Too Soon
The couple was married and trav
eled to the lakes for their honey
moon. As soon as they arrived they
took a boat out upon the water.
The following morning the bride’s
mother got a postcard which read;
“Arrived safely. Grand row be
fore supper.”
“My!” she muttered. “I didn’t
think they’d begin quarreling so !
soon.” j
THOUGHTS ARE FREE
j
“I’m thinking about getting mar- j
ried, but dread the amount of money j
it takes.”
“That shouldn’t involve any cash |
at all.”
“What,getting married shouldn’t? ”
“No—thinking about it.”
Proposal Postponed
He was about to propose, but be- j
fore doing so he wished to make |
sure she would make a good house
wife. So he asked her: “Can you
wash dishes?”
“Yes,” she replied sweetly. “Can I
j you wipe them?”
No, Thank You
Business Man—Yes, I advertised
for a boy about your size. Do you ;
smoke?
i Applicant No, thanks, but you
| can blow me to an ice cream soda
! if you want to.
Cluipsy
“When did you hurt your hand,
| Smithers?”
“Coming home last night from
Johnson’s party. I’d very nearly 1
| reached the house when some clum-
I sy idiot stepped on it.”
Should Have Given Warning
( “You were very kind to lend me
that $lO. I feel I can never repay
! you.”
“Eh? Why on earth didn’t you
| say that at first?”
One Reason
Billy—Why do the leaves turn red
in autumn?
John—l suppose they are blushing
to think how green they’ve been all |
summer.
Getting Along
“A telegram from George, dear.”
“Well, did he pass the examina
tion this time?”
“No, but he is almost at the top
of the list of those who failed.”
SOLD
A farmer was sitting outside his
house trying a finger exercise which
he had been told would drive rheu
matism from his ancient digits. A
passerby approached him.
Noticing the old man’s gesticula
tions, the stranger concluded that
here was a deaf mute. Drawing j
an envelope from his pocket, he
wrote: “I want a quart of milk.”
The farmer read it and got the
milk.
“How much?” wrote the stranger.
The farmer held up ten fingers.
The man handed him ten cents,
and as he started down the path
heard the farmer call to his wife:
“Mary, I’ve just sold a quart of
that sour milk to a dummy.”
—
Mistaken Flattery
The master of the house rang the
bell to summon his maid.
The girl was in the act of cleaning
the pots and pans, and before she
1 could clean herself the master en
tered the kitchen to see what was
delaying her.
He looked at the maid’s dirty
hands and face.
“My word, Mary,” he said, “but
you’re pretty dirty, aren’t you?”
Mary smiled coyly.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, “but I’m !
prettier clean.”
..
COAL(D) FIRE
Dobbs—l think my furnace fire
must be of Arctic origin.
Bobb—Why?
Dobbs—lt seems to like to go out
in the coldest weather.
Why Tell an Expert?
j At Camp Taylor in 1917 a Negro
outfit was lined up before the clerk
for preliminary paper work.
“Name and address?” demanded
the clerk of one husky recruit.
| “Huh?”
1 “What is your name and ad
dress?”
“Yo’ ought to know,” said Rastus.
“Yo’all sent fo’ me.”
Simple
The New Nurse—Don’t you like
that poem, “Twinkle, twinkle little
star, how I wonder what you are?”
Little Waldo—No. Why wonder
about the elements of a star when
a simple spectrum analysis will
solve the question?
Dead Broke
Judge—Have you anything to offer
the court before sentence is passed
on you?
Culprit—Nothing, your honor; my
lawyer has taken my last cent.
Popular
“Yes, my father always gets a
warm reception wherever he goes.”
“Really! He must be popular.”
“It isn’t that. He’s a fireman.”
SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
“What is a soldier of fortune,
Pa?”
“A soldier of fortune is a vaga
bond who fights for anybody who
asks him, and then puts up an awful
yell for help from his own country
when he gets into trouble.”
Women Don’t Change
An historian says that women
used cosmetics in the middle ages.
They still use cosmetics in the
middle ages.
Doesn’t Need Any
Maid—There’s a gentleman to see
you.
Employer—Who is he?
“A gentleman with a mustache.”
“Tell him I’ve got a mustache!”
Knows Plenty Now
“Can’t see why I should buy your
book,” said the farmer to the per
sistent canvasser.
“Why, it will show you how to be i
a better farmer.”
“Listen, son,” said the elderly |
man impressively, “I’m not half
as good a farmer now as I know how t
to be.”
No Duck!
“Mamma, there’s a man here at
the door to see you.”
“Does he have a bill?”
“No, mamma. Just a plain nose!”
Much Cheaper
“Women don’t interest me. I pre
fer the company of my fellow men.”
“I’m broke, too.”
Something Wrong
“Mummy, is it one o’clock?”
“Not yet, dear.”
“H m, my tummy’s fast."
