A WRONG TWIST
The old Negro drayman’s mule
had balked in the middle of the
road, completely blocking traffic.
After working and pleading in vain,
the old fellow made his way to a
telephone in a nearby farmhouse.
Calling his employer in town a few
miles away, his conversation went
this way:
“Boss, ol’ • Puidin-Head done
sulked ag’in. Ye’suh, I’s give 'im
a whippin’—I’s built a fire under
'im, too.
“Ye’suh, I done tried tawkin’ wid
’im. Don’t do no good. I’s prom
ised ’im ’bout ever’thing us got in
de barn.
“Dat’s right, I’s twisted his ears
till dey’s knotted lak ribbons.
“Nawsuh, I do lak you say—I
ain’t gonna twist his tail. A gent’-
mun who driv up an’ got out to
he’p me done tried dat. Dey’s tuk
him to de hospital. He looked lak
a city-bawn gent-mun.”
QUITE A STROLL
The proud mother was telling the
absent-minded professor of her won
derful child.
“Can he walk?’’ he asked with
affected interest.
“Walk? Why, he’s beef walking
now for five months!”
“Is that so?” murmured the pro
fessor, lapsing into reflection.
“What a long way he must have
gone!”

Willing to Try
Two farmers had been bargaining
over a cow at a leisurely pace for
more than an hour. Finally the pros
pective buyer came flatly to the
point.
"How much milk does she give?”
he asked.
“Well,” said the cow’s owner, “I
don’t rightly know — ain’t never
measured what Prunella gives, to
tell the truth. But she’s good na-
tured—she’ll give all she can.”
Giddyep!
The deacon of a small church in
the south bought a horse and buggy
and took his wife out for a drive
one Sunday afternoon. They came
to a neighboring town and saw a
sign which read:
“Speed Limit — 15 Miles Per
Hour.”
“Here, Ma,” said the deacon ex
citedly, “you take the lines and
drive and I’ll use the whip. Maybe
we can make it.”
Proof
“Are you positive that the defend
ant was drunk?” asked the judge.
“No doubt,” growled the officer.
“Why are you so certain?”
“Well,” replied the officer, “I saw
him put a penny in the patrol box
on Fourth street, then look up at
the clock on the church and shout:
’Good heavens, I’ve lost 14
pounds!’ ”
IGNORANCE OF THE LAW
Justice in our early western
courts was willing enough, but fre
quently abysmally ignorant. In a
certain California trial, the suspect,
having clearly established his inno
cence of the charge against him by
an alibi, had the satisfaction of
hearing the prosecuting attorney re
mark to the court:
“I think, your honor, that this
trial had better stop right here. The
alibi has been fully established.”
“I think so, myself,” replied his
honor, with an approving nod; and
then, summoning the prosecutor to
his side, he said, in a stage whisper
which was only too audible through
out the courtroom, “I say, what
is the penalty for an alibi?”
A Bit Mazy
A New Yorker who went to live in
Boston decided to get rid of an
old cat left in his new home by the
former tenants. So he put it into a
sack and took it clear over on the
other side of town and turned it
loose in a vacant lot.
“Well,” remarked a friend, “I
suppose you got rid of the cat all
right.”
“Heck, no!” rejoined the new Bos
tonian. “Say, listen, if I hadn’t fol
lowed that cat I never would have
found my way back home.”

Turtles Supply Both Sport
And Food in Australia
In Australia, turtle riding is a
popular form of beach recreation.
Bathers who sight swimming tur
tles usually pursue them and, ap
proaching from behind, climb
aboard a husky specimen.
The turtle never approves of this
mounting technique, but a special
rope halter keeps its head where
any angry turtle’s head belongs.
Many skillful surf-board experts
ride the turtles standing up—a feat
requiring unusual skill and bal
ance.
After a ‘refreshing cruise, the
turtle-riding enthusiast may de
cide to make soup of his old mount.
