CAN’T WAIT
A Scotchman was going on an ex
cursion to New York. He asked the
agent for a round trip ticket and
handed the agent a $10 bill.
“Change at Jersey City,” intoned
the agent.
“No jokes now,” said the Scotch
man, “I want my change right
away.”
Monuments
Mrs. Brown—I admire Dr. Young
immensely. He is so persevering
in the face of difficulties that he al
ways reminds me of Patience sitting
on a monument.
Mr. Brown—Yes. But, what I am
becoming rather alarmed about is
the number of monuments sitting on
his patients.
Dentist Fodder
Mother—My son is very rough.
He’s always poking into things and
pulling things to pieces. I don’t
know what to do with him.
Friend—Why not make him a den
tist?

BATHROOM IN HIS PA^AMAB, SIMULTANEOUSLY
finds the door locked and hears female
voices approaching around The Turn in the hall
The Bell Syndlrote. l»e.—WMV Beryl**
GRAND MANNER
“A dignified and imposing manner
is now almost unknown in this demo
cratic world.”
“Quite true—how greatly we’re
indebted to the traffic cops that we
have any knowledge of it at all.” ,
TO WHOM IT APPLIES
Wifie—This paper says, in the old
days the, word “Simple” meant
“foolish.” That couldn’t be applied
to frocks as it is today. .,
Hubby—No; it only applies now
to the man who pays for the frocks.
POOR FELLOW
<-W«OVfcR
Clam—Well, I see you’re here,
now—
Oyster—Yes, and I’m likely to get
stewed tonight!
MODERN YOUTH
Sunday School Teacher—To under
stand human evil, Willie, we must
go back to the first temptation.
Smart Kid—Yas’m—then we’ll get
at the core of the thing.
FIRESIDE CHAT
“I hope you are a man who appre
ciates a fireside.”
“In due season. Just now I am
snuggling up to an electric fan.”
WOW!
Monk—I’m goin’ to open a boot-
black parlor.
Turtle — Ha! More “monkey-
shines!”
VERY STRONG
n
Potato—Is he strong?
Cucumber—1 should say so. A.
most as strong as an onion! *
