His Excuse. 



A young Londoner, who had never 

 been out of London in his life, received 

 %n invitation from an acquaintance in 

 the country, asking him to have a run 

 over to his place for a few days and give 

 him a lift at gathering mushrooms. 

 This is the reply he got: 



"Dear Jack — I'm very glad to hear 

 as how you and the missus is all right, 

 but I can't come over to see you, becos 

 t'm afraid I would be no use at gather- 

 ing mushrooms, for you know very well 

 I can't climb. " — Up to Date.
