o
He Gets ‘Em Up
“That,” said the native proudly,
pointing out a passer-by, “is Jona
than Bell, native of Squash Center,
and the man who has aroused more
people than any other man in the
country.”
“You don’t mean to tell me that
quiet-looking man is some great
communist or radical, do you?” in
quired the stranger.
“Not at all,” was the reply. ”He’s
a retired alarm-clock manufac
turer.”
Life’s Little Trials
“Pa, what’s the difference be
tween a hill and a pill?”
“1 don’t know, my son, unless it’s
that a hill is high and a pill is round
—is that it?”
“Naw! A hill is hard to get up
and a pill is hard to get down.”
Substitute
“Tommy, what is a synonym?”
the teacher asked.
“A synonym," said Tommy wise
ly, “is a word you use when you
can’t spell the other one.”
