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.

When Irene got home from Ow'air

tired. This was the hour, after work
and before dinner, that she abways
looked forward to. Her private oatnc
for it was ‘‘My sissy hour," Into it,,
these days, she packed all the lazy,.

tilings that used to take up a la*, more
than an hour of her peace-time dnys-
She sat down at the little iJieak in ■
her room. You could tell quite a Jot

began to write, “Dear Mr, Kffwrgen

Her round handwriting spread
across the page. "My boy Srwwd is
