THE OLYMPIAN 85 luxuries for the last ten years, I ac- cumulated SI,563.32. That's great. What are you going to do with the money? I won't have to decide that ques- tion-the bank failed. While crossing the common recently, an old lady noticed one of those men who go around jabbing a pointed stick into scraps of paper to gather them up. Stopping beside him she said kindly, Don't you find that work very tiring? Not so very, mum, he replied. You see, l was born to it-my father used to harpoon whales. Mother: l don't think the neighbors like to hear junior play his drum. Father: Why? Mother: Well, this afternoon the man downstairs gave Junior a knife and asked him if he knew what was inside the drum. Little Willie had been told that he must always wait patiently 'till he w served at meals, and not cry across the table or grab for food. One day, while dining at a neigh- bor's with his mother, the little fellow was accidentally overlooked. l-le was very patient for a time, but at last he could bear the strain no longer of see- ing everybody feeding but himself. So, leaning quietly across to his mother, he said in a loud whisper, Mother, do little boys who starve to death go to Heaven? Will: I hope you will excuse me. I haven't played this violin since Oc- tober. Bill: What year? The Scotchman had a tooth that bothered him for quite a long time, and finally he' decided to have it out. Seating himself in the dentist's chair, he indicated the offending molar and asked: How much will it cost me to have this tooth pulled? Five dollars is the usual price. replied the dentist. Scotty thought that over for a while in glum silence. Then a bright idea struck him. How much, he asked again, will you charge to loos- en it? Mr. McKinery: What was the effect of the Boston Tea Party? Miss E. Cote: Er-aer-a-well, all the people had to drink tea for four years. The height and depth in brief salu- tations was reached recently when two girls greeted each other on Broadway, I-lil 'l..o! The following is an interesting story told to me by an indignant sen- ior: One day I was walking along at Old Orchard and a ten year old kid who was wearing short pants--not covering the knee-stopped me and asked, Hey son, got the time? l replied in a dignified manner, No, sir. Street Car Conductor: How old are you, my little girl? Little Boston Girl: Ulf the corpora- tion doesn't object, l'd prefer to pay full fare and to keep my own statis- tics. Farmer: Yes, sir, that hired man of mine is one of the greatest inventors of the century. City Boarder: You don't say! What did he invent? Farmer: Petrified motion. Mr. McKinery: When President Garfield was assassinated, who got the job? P. Labbe: The undertaker. Miss Merrill: How long did it take you to do your homework, Duran- ceau? Duranceau: I don't know, l'm still on it. Mr. White fin gymjz Lie on your back and pedal a bicycle. Everyone does but Simard. Mr. White: Simard, why aren't you pedaling? Simard: l'm coasting.
