REG’LAR FELLERS By* Gene Byrnes
VIRGIL r v i en Kleis
SECTARIAN
DIFFERENCES
A party of clergymen were at
tending a Presbyterian conference
in Scotland. Several set out to ex
plore the district, came to a river
spanned by a temporary bridge.
They didn’t see the notice that said
the bridge was unsafe, and start
ed to cross. The bridgekeeper ran
after them in protest. “It’s all
right,” said the spokesman, not
understanding the reason for the
old fellow’s haste. “We’re Presby
terians from the conference.”
"I’m no caring about that,” said
the old Scot bridgetender, “but if
you dinna get off that bridge ye’ll
all be Baptists!”
CONFINING, ANYWAY
There’s the story of an elderly
woman who, in her autumnal years,
made a career of spreading what
she was wont to call sunshine among
the inmates of a penitentiary.
Stopping outside the cell of one
convict, she attempted to cheer him
in the words of the poet: “Stone
walls do not a prison make, nor iron
bars a cage. ...”
“ITo,” he answered slowly. “But
they help, lady, they help.”
Too Good for Him
A farmer was in search of a
horse.
“I’ve got just the horse for you,”
said the liveryman. “He’s five years
old, sound as a dollar and goes 10
miles without stopping.”
The farmer threw his hands sky
ward.
“Not for me,” he said, “not for
me. ^ live eight miles from town,
and with that horse I would have
to walk back two miles.”
Peace at Last
The new minister was talking to
the oldest inhabitant.
“I be 97 years old, sir, and I
.haven’t an enemy in the world,”
said the aged one.
“That is a beautiful thought,’* said
the clergyman approvingly. *
“Yes, sir,” was the answer. “I’m
thankful to say that I’ve outlived
them all.”
Oily Flavors
A man in a restaurant called the
waiter over disgustedly.
“What do you call this stuff—cof
fee or tea?” he sneered. “It tastes
like kerosene.”
“If it tastes like kerosene,” said
the waiter calmly, “it must be cof
fee. The tea tastes like turpentine.”
BEADY-STUFFED
“There you are, my dear,” the
bride announced, “my first turkey.”
She proudly placed the steaming
bird on the dinner table.
“It looks wonderful, darling!” her
husband responded. “What did you
stuff it with?”
. “Stuff it?” exclaimed the bride.
“Why dear, this one wasn’t hol
low!”
A Real Present
Attractive Young Miss—I’m look
ing for something particularly nice
for a young man.
Salesman — Have you looked in
♦he mirror?
Not AU There
Professor (calling the role) —
Perkins.
Jones—Perkins is absent.
Professor—Quiet, Jones, let Per
kins not answer for himself.
Not So Interesting
"Tell me, do you* ever expect to
find the perfect girl?”
“Oh, sure; my good luck won’t
last forever. I’ll have a dull date
sometime.”
The ‘Makin’s’ Gone
Grocer — I’ve sold my rolling
stock.
Customer—Railroad securities?
Grocer—No. Cigaret tobr.cco and
papers.
Alarming
“Why do you always wear those
loud socks?”
“Well, they keep my feet from
going to sleep.”
Better Stay Home
“Most accidents happen on Sat
urday and Sunday.”
“It’s a great life if you don’t
week-end.”
Wacky Pun
“We know what a WAVE and a
WAC is, but what is a Woe?”
“Oh, a Woe is what we thwow at
a wabbit ”

For some time Donovan and his
wife had not been getting along so
well. Finally Mrs. Donovan sued
her husband for separate main
tenance. In due time the case
came up in court, and, after hear
ing both sides, the magistrate
deliberated for a time, then ad
dressed Donovan.
“I have decided,” he said, “to
grant your wife’s request. This
court shall allow her $10 a week.”
Donovan beamed back at the
judge and said, “Why sure, your
honor. And that’s very generous
of you. I’ll see if I can add a
dollar or two to that now and
then!”
