A Birthday Present.
Two young ladies sent a college
friend a birthday box as a
joke. It contained a porous planter,
a cake of soap, a fine toothcomb,
a raw onion, a bunch of
firecrackers and a toy pistol.
After a few days the young ladies
received the following acknowledgment
:
"My dear Friends:
Your kind remembrance is received
and contents no 1. 1
find I can make use of most of
the articles enclosed. With the
porous plaster I will endeavor
to strengthen my good opinion of
you (you should have sent
more.) I can use the soap 'o
wash myself of my acquaintance
with you, if it ever becomes necessary.
The onion brought tears
to in}' eyes. The crackers 1
don't care a snap for. The pistol
will always be by my side,
as it can't go off. The comb
was a great surprise 'or I had
no idea that such a thing ever
entered your heads.
Yours lovingly,
"Ben"?E. I. G.
