The Yankee has a dry way of putting folks straight that's Just as keen today as it was when Daniel Web ster was speaking for New Hamp shire in the bouse of representa tives. ' A sly, wry, dig from New Hamp shire was recently reported by a motorist who was touring that state during his vacation. He stopped in a Plymouth res taurant and was Just commencing to question the proprietor about the historic town when that worthy silently handed him a booklet of paper matches bearing the follow ing information: “Now let us get this straight. You are in Plymouth, New Hamp shire. Plymouth is in the geograph ical center of New Hampshire. Its altitude is 483 feet. The Pilgrims did not land here. “Plymouth Hock is not situated in town. It had to be near the sea- coast. The Mayflower did not anchor in our harbor because we haven’t any harbor. “We have as goods if not better, neighbors than any other town.

As he leaned forward to place a bet, he accidentally dropped a coin on the floor. He fell to his knees and started to search for it. \At this, one of the players could not help laughing. “Why all this fuss about one coin?” he said. “Surely the house of Rothschild is built on billions of such coins.” “That is true,” replied the finan cier, “but I don’t know which one is the keystone of the structure.” Keeps Him Broke Clothing Salesman — Does your wife help you choose your clothes?
