46 WINTHROP WINNER Briggs: Doctor, can you help me? My name is Briggs-. Doctor: No, I'm sorry, I simply can't do anything about that. The head teacher in the Su n d ay School found too much noise going on in the next room. Seeing A. Bond, a little taller than the rest, talking a great deal, he brought him out and banged him in- to a chair in his room, saying: Now, be quiet! A little while later a smaller head ap- peared around the door saying: Please, sir, you've got our teacher. He Did His Best J.

He Knew Only One Mr. LaPlant had been telling his Bi- ology class that recently Worms had be- come so numerous that they destroy the crops, and it was necessary to import the English sparrow to exterminate them. The Sparrows multiplied very f as t and were gradually driving away our native birds. H. Deblois was apparently verv 1n- attentive, and Mr. LaPlant, thinking to catch him, said: Henry, which is worse, to have worms or sparrows ? Henry hesitated a moment and then replied: Please, I never had the sparrows. Cobb at the Gem fturning aroundjz Can't you see anything ? Peg: Can't see a streak of the stage. Cobb: Why, then, I'll tell you what to do. You just keep your eye on me and laugh when I do. Marjorie F.: I think Helen will make a fine wife.
