“Ark you compounding a felony?” asked a 
young lawyer of his landlady. “No, sir, ’ she

tion without a difference.” 
Miss Philadelphia: “And so you enjoyed 
your tour of Europe*” Miss Boston: "Oh, in¬ 
describably!” “Did you see the aqueducts in 
Rome?” “Yes, and they swam beautifully.” 
“Swaml what swam?” “The aque-ducksof
