'I FORGET THE^ NUMBER BUT HE LIVES ON PINE STREET FIFTH HOUSEPOWN-^/ -ITS A BRICK House across THE STREET FROM A DELICATESSEN. By Bud Fisher JITTER By Arthur Pointer By Gene Byrnes VIRGIL By Len Kleis THAT WOULD DO IT In Boston there is a certain old gentleman, extremely rich and very stingy, who has an improvident nephew who constantly yearns for a small advance on the large for tune he is to inherit when the old boy takes his earthly departure. Recently a friend of the family said to the old miser, “Pete, I hear your nephew is going to marry. On that occasion you ought to do some thing to make him happy.’” “You think so?” said the old man. “I certainly do.” “O. K.,” was the generous re joinder; “I’ll pretend I’m dangerous ly ill.” Too Fearless! Out in a western town a number of lions had broken out of a circus and were headed for the open prairie. A ppsse was organized to hunt them down, and the leader sug gested that before the chase began it might be well for the men to stop in a saloon and have a drink. This suited all the members except the town ne’er-do-well, Jason. “Whiskey for all!” the leader yelled when the men had lined up before the bar. “Not for me,” oojected Jason. “Just give me a jigger of ginger- ale.” “You’ll take whiskey!” shouted the leader. “It’ll give you courage.” “Heck,” rejoined Jason. “That’s jest what I’m afeerd of.” SOME LONG SHOTS NEEDED Bank President — Where’s the cashier?

You’ve even changed your name!” Overly Generous A penny was all that dropped into the beggar’s hand when he pleaded with the old lady for “something to tide him over.” “Now, my poor man,” she said, “tell me how you lost all of your money.” “Well, I was like you, ma’am,” he said. “I was always giving away large sums to the needy.” EASILY SATISFIED Burglar—Don’t be scairt, old lady.
