JUNE. 1925 41 VERY SHOCKING. INDEED The nice old lady dropped into the office just as the editor cried out regarding the story that was denied. Kill it: kill it! Hurriedly beating a retreat, she exclaimed in horror. Goodness gracious! I've often heard of a newspaper morgue, but I never knew you killed folks to put in it. TELL IT TO THE MARINES The wife and daughter of Lieutenant Berrie of the Great Lakes naval training station, approaching a gate to tin station were halted by a sentry on duty there who had orders to let no one enter by that gate. Sorry, but you'll have to go around to the main gate. Oh. but we re the Berries. Lady. I don't care if you're the cat’s meeow. you can't go through this gate. FOUND: A WISE FATHER Teacher— Now. Johnny, what would your father pay if he owed the baker two dollars, the butcher fifteen dollars, the milkman- ---” lohnny— Nothin'. Miss, he'd move. A SUGGESTION TO A FUTURE THESPIAN First Actor— I’m getting on. Somebody has now named a cigar after me. Second Actor— I hope it draws better than you do. ADVANCED MATH How many apples did Adam and Eve eat? They say Eve ate (8) and Adam too (2). That would be a total of ten only. Now we figure the thing out differently, and thus: Eve ate (8) and Adam ate (8) also—total, sixteen. But are not these figures entirely wrong? If Eve ate (8) and Adam ate too (82). certainly the total was ninety. Scientific men. however, on the strength of the theory that the antediluvians were giants, reason something like this: Eve ate one (81) and Adam ate too (82)—total. 163. Wrong again. It is very dear that if Eve ate one (81). and Adam ate one too (812). the total was 893.—Baptist Student. FINAL BRAIN TEASER Well, here I am again.
