A Dose of Harmless Nonsense
, By FLIPPER BILL.
DEFINITIONS! :
- We apologize to lexicographers for ot arranging these defs.
alphabetically.
FLIP: A combination of words not to be taken seriously.
SALESMAN : One who runs up daily expenses and occasion
ally sells some goods.
WHOLESALER : One who loves retailers.
RETAILER: The salesman’s right-hand bower.
CONSUMER: The court of last resort.
FIRING LINE: The voice of business. .
JOKE? \
Said Bill to his wife: ‘‘Dear, I love you."
Baid Bill's wife to Bill: ‘‘ls that so?"’
Said Bill: ‘' Yes, sweet."’
Said Bill's wife: ‘I need a new hat, honey."’
It has not been definitely learned yet whether Bill will re
cover or not, but it is definitely known that he has a very bad at.
tack of faintitis.
SHORT STORY?
‘ It was midnight. The clock struck twelve. The silence was
owlish. The moon was not in sight.
At the door bell hung a lonely figure.
It was cold. Ugh! it was beastly cold.
The bell rang.
It rang hard "*Yank! Yank! It was pulled again. .
Ah, ha! At last appeared a figure at the window higher up.
““Well, who's there? rang out upon that chill December
night, a woman's cheerful voice. :
"Ex-Excuse me, me, ma'am, but 'tis yo-yo-your only-only
hic-hic-hush-hush-hush-band band Ch-Ch-Charles.
A--h! Bo it's you, is it? and drunk again? Well, we'll see
about this this, and, bang, down came that frosty window with a
rap.
The lonely figure stood stock still. There was a look of
grim dispair in those dark eyes. The hand loosened slowly on the
bell.
Three loud yelps rang out in the silent air and the hapless
wretch fell upon the doorstep dead-—soused.
The above is a relation of actual facts. We refrain to men.-
“tion any names for reasons of state. However, experience, no
doubt, has taught us all that the occurence is not impossible.
PERHAPS?
A local salesman recently bought a cat. He presented this
cat to his dusky cook, Melissa. The cat disappeared. Since then,
the local salesman has had a great curiosity to kmow what be
came of the cat. It has been rumored that on the evening after
the morning the cat disappeared, the family had fried rabbit
for supper. Perhaps this explains where the cat went.

times these poor creatures are late and have no time to attend

As & matter of common courtesy toward the female public, we
ask City Council to pass an ordinance to this effect. It would be
a fitting supplement to the jay walking ordinance.
ROUGH STUFF!' !
A raise in salary is & salesman ‘s highest ambition. It is his
star of destiny ; and that reminds us:
John Smith's boss's name was Joe Snub. Smith went to
Snub one day, remarking
"' Christmas s coming.
“Lat it come,’’ replied Snud.
“'Good business 1 dud all year.”
Do 1t next year,”' retaliated Suub.
“I'm thinking of buying a turkey, ' said Smith. At last he
