MOORE DRY GOODS CO. * I Current wit D HuirfSiA , tripped him A famous alienist was visiting Bermuda and a prominent official happened to meet him. The offi cial, after discovering to his sur prise that the alienist was an au thority, not on immigration, but on the mentally unsound, asked him: “Doctor, how do you really tell if * person is insane?” ‘‘Oh, we merely ask him a few questions which ordinary people can answer correctly.” “What type of question?” “Well," replied the alienist, “this sort of thing. Captain Cook made three voyages round the world and died on one of them. Which was it?” “Oh, I say," objected the official. “I think that’s a bit steep. I’m not very good at history.” LIGHT RELIEF “She looks like a good match.” “Is the likeness a striking one?” Jeep-ers! From a smoke session at a south ern army post came this definition of a "peep”—or was it a “jeep”— to end all defining. “It’s a number 14 roller skate,” quipped the wise lad, “equipped with motor, mud guards, windshield, and place to seat two heels instead of one.” In the Book Teacher—Jane, who was Anne Boleyn? Jane—A flatiron, sir. Teacher—What do you mean? Jane—Well our history book says that “Henry, having disposed of Catherine, pressed his suit with Anne Boleyn,” Thoroughly Modern Miss—Mother, did you ever flirt when you were young? Mother—Yes, dear, I’m afraid I did. Modem Miss—And were you pun ished for it? Mother—Yes, dear, I married your father. Surprise “Waitress, why do those girls ( keep putting their heads round the j door to stare at me?” “Oh, don’t mind them, sir; they’re i girls from the cooking school, and j you’ve just eaten their first pud ding.” Forewarned Private Smith (Aboard an Atlan tic Convoy)—Sarge, I’m beginning to feel seasick. What can I do? Sarge—Don’t worry, son. You’ll do it. No Justice “There is no justice in the uni verse.” “Why so?” “Well, night falls but it’s always day that breaks.” On the House “Well, did you spend an enjoy- \ able summer?” “Very, went up to the wife’s fa- I ther’s farm and it didn’t cost a ( cent.” By Proxy “Could you give a poor man a bite?” “Well, I’m a vegetarian, but I’ll call the dog.” INEVITABLE Tom—Don’t you think it’s possible 1 for a couple to get along well on a salary of $25 per week? ■ Bess—From what I can learn, it’s impossible for a couple to get along well anyhow, Het Up “That guy I just struck was a heap more liberal wid his advice 1 dan wid his money.” “What talk did he have?” “I said I was cold an’ be told me ter go to blazes.” Tsk! Tsk! Policeman—Take it easy; didn't you see that notice: “Slow Down Here”? Motorist Yes, officer, but I thought it was describing your vil lage. Christmas Is Coming!
