When deep In an experiment, in
ventor Thomas Edison frequently
would work around the clock, his
mind glued to his work. After he
had practically lived in his labora
tory for a week, he was persuaded
to take a nap at 4 a.m.
Edison set the alarm clock for 7
a.m. When it sounded, however,
he slept right through it. An as-
sistant entered with the inventor’s
breakfast. Noticing that Edison
was still asleep, he decided to let
him rest a little longer. After a
while, the assistant became hungry
and ate the meal himself.
Edison stirred. Leaving the dishes
on the table, the assistant started
for another breakfast tray. He had
not reached the door, when the in
ventor awoke. His eyes heavy with
sleep, Edison walked over to the
table and sat down.
For a minute he sat there, try
ing to rouse himself. Finally his
eyes opened. He picked up a spoon.
As he did so, he noticed that the
dishes had just been used. Sheep
ishly, he looked up at his assistant.
“I must be getting absent-mind
ed,** he said. *T forgot that I had
eaten.”
He put down his napkin, lit a
cigar and returned to his work
bench.
Over A Hundred
Friend—“Did you ever run up
against a mathematical problem
that stumped you?”
Famous Mathematician — “Yes,
indeed. I could never figure out
how, according to the magazine ads,
eighty-five percent of the dentists
recommend one brand of tooth
paste, ninety-two percent recom
mend another brand, and ninety-
five percent recommend still an<
other brand.”
SUBSTITUTION
A new clerk, right fresh from the
country, was helping out in a local
general store during the holiday
rush. One of the town’s matrons
approached the clerk and asked for
some anchovy paste. The clerk hesi
tated for a moment and then walked
over to the tablet-and-pencil counter
and said:
“No, we don’t have anchovy
paste, but here is some excellent
mucilage.”
Practical
“I’m a very busy man, sir. What
Is your proposition?”
“I want to make you rich.”
“Just so. Leave your recipe with
me and I’ll look it over later. Just
now I’m engaged in closing up a
little deal by which I expect to
make $7.50 in real money.”
Wrong Point
“How’s your daughter’s golf?”
asked one grande dame of another.
“She says she is going around in
less and less every week.”
“I don’t doubt that. I asked about
her golf.”

Little Betty had been allowed to
stay up to dinner* one night on the
strict understanding that she should
behave very well and not ask for
anything on the table.
When dessert came all the guests
were attended to, but she was over
looked.
She sat despondently for a time,
and then was struck by a bright
idea. She exclaimed in a loud voice,
“Who wants a clean plate?”
DROP DEAD!
An Irishman was carried to
the hospital In an unconscious
condition after a terrible fall.
The surgeon made a brief exam
ination, but shook his head sig
nificantly, and turned sympa
thetically to the anxious wife.
“Madam,” he said, “I am
sorry to tell you that yonr hus
band is dead.”
“No I ain’t,” said the supposed
corpse, opening one eye.
<< Hosh up, Terence,” said the
wife, “don’t the doctor know bet
ter than you?”
Kangaroo Meatballs
Costello: “Your brother is cooking
meatballs for lunch. He went out to
get some chopped rubber.”
Abbot: “My brother puts chopped
rubber in meatballs?”
Costello: “Yeah. He used to be a
basketball player and he likes to
dribble ’em in from the kitchen.”
Real Estate Bargains Awaited Early Settlers
Soaring real estate prices serve
to remind Americans that the
early bird gets the bargain.
Peter Minuit’s famous $24 pur
chase of Manhattan Island is
only one example of the good
“buys” available when the coun
try was young.
Director Minuit’s successor,
Wouter Van Twiller, also got his
money’s worth when he gave a
band of Indians about $1.65 worth
of presents in exchange for 172-
acre Governor’s Island in New
York Harbor. Staten Island, too,
was bought from Indians in 1631
for “certain parcels of goods.”
Christopher Columbus started it
all with an investment in ships
estimated by various authorities
at from $16,000 to $75,000, of which
Columbus himself is said to have
contributed the equivalent of
$2,000.
William Penn received in 1861
almost all of the present state of
Pennsylvania as payment for a
loan of 16,000 British pounds
made by his father. Admiral Sir
William Penn, to King Charles II
of England. At current exchange
rates, this sum amounts to $44.-
800. In later years his descend
ants were paid eight times that
much by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania for their interests
and were permitted to keep their
private estates. Penn also was
required to pay the king two
beaver skins on January 1 each
year, plus one-fifth of all gold
and silver ore found within his
territory.
For the province of Maryland,
Lord Baltimore had to deliver

Early transactions shifted own
ership of the present state of New
Jersey several times. Charles II
originally granted the area to his
brother, the Duke of York, who
deeded it to John Lord Berkeley
and Sir George Carteret as joint
proprietors. In 1674 Berkeley sold
West Jersey for 1,000 pounds
($2,800) to two Quakers named
John Fenwick and Edward Byl-
lings. The executors of Carteret’s
will sold East Jersey at public
auction in 1682 to William Penn
and a number of associates for
3,400 pounds ($9,520).
Half interest in the state of
Maine, as represented by a royal
grant to Sir Ferdinando Gorges,
was bought from his heirs by the
state of Massachusetts in 1677 for
1,250 pounds ($3,500).
When the United States bought
Louisiana Territory from Napo
leon in 1803, the country got a lot
for its money. The price of
$15,000,000 averaged out to less
than three cents an acre for the
827,000 square miles. Subsequent
ly, the Federal Government paid
nearly a billion—dollars to com
pensate Indian tribes for their
lands in the territory.
