HUMOROUS 
The busy bee can work all day 
Because (so nature fakers say) 
He doesn’t slay up niglils to mix 
With crowds discussing politics. 
—Washington Star. 
Owner of the Coop: “Who’s in 
there?’’ Quick-Witted Rastus (softly) : 
“Tain’t nobody in heah ’ceppin’ us chick¬ 
ens.”—Life. 
Sunday-School Teacher: “What les¬ 
son do we learn from the busy bee?” 
Tommy Tuffnut: “Not to get stung.” 
—Philadelphia Record. 
Smithson: “What is Browne’s earn¬ 
ing capacity?” Jones: “It’s never been 
tested. He’s always been employed by 
the government.”—Judge. 
“Maggie, I want you to incinerate the 
refuse.” “All right, ma’am; I’ll come 
and do it as soon as I finish burning the 
waste.”—Baltimore American. 
“Did I understand you to say that all 
rum-selling has been stopped in your 
town?” “Not at all. I merely said it 
was strictly prohibited.”—Philadelphia 
Press. 
New Aunt: “So you are six years 
old, Edith. How old do you' think I 
am?” Edith: “I don’t know. We 
haven’t got that far in ’rithmetic yet.” 
•—Harper’s Bazar. 
“My mission in life,” said the satirist, 
“is to put the dunce-cap on the heads of 
other people.” “Be careful,” replied his 
friend, “that you don’t catch cold!”— 
Philadelphia Inquirer. 
Johnny: “Smokin’ cigarettes is dead 
sure to hurt yer.” Jimmy: “G’on! 
where did yer git dat idee?” Johnny: 
“From pop.” Jimmy: “Aw! he wuz 
jist stringin’ yer.” Johnny: “No, he 
wuzn’t stringin’ me; he wuz strappiin’ 
me. Dat’s how I know it hurts.”— 
Philadelphia Press. 
“You seem to need rain very badly.” 
“Yes,” answered Farmer Corntossel in 
a tone of patient resignation. “We’ve 
done our best, but it doesn’t do any 
good. We’ve given one Sunday school 
picnic after another, left the rockin’ 
chairs an’ hammocks an’ buggies out 
over night an’ painted all the buildings 
fresh. But none of the things that used 
to bring rain seem to work any more!” 
—Washington Star. 
“I suppose, Uncle Jim, you remember 
a good deal about the politics of the 
early days?” “Well, I never tuk much 
int'rest in pollytics, but I kin recollect 
when John C. Fremont was ’lected 
President.” “Fremont! Why, Fremont 
was never elected.” “He wun’t? Well, 
now, thet gits me. I hcerd a leadin’ 
speaker talk the night ’fore ’lection, an’ 
he said if John C. Fremont wun’t ’lected 
the country would fall to ruin an’ every¬ 
body would have to shut up shop. 
Course I didn’t take the papers; but, 
noticin’ thet things went on ’bout same 
as before, I calculated John won. So 
he wun’t ’lected? Well, b’jinks! thet 
gits me !”—Judge.

it means to have warm corners and warm floors for children’s play—and those 
who know how much cold halls cost them each winter in discomfort and 
doctors’ bills—and everybody else who lives in a

difference between Florida and Greenland.
