THE WIZARD y? IN HISTORY CLASS Miss Martin: “Which periods in world history are particularly famous for their art?” Janies: “The Hellenic period in Athens and the period of the Renais- sance.” Clemens: “He left one out, the present period.” Miss Martin: “Henry, for what arc these three periods especially noted?” Henry: “The Hellenic period for sculpture, the period of the Renais- sance for picture painting, and the present period — why, for face paint- ing.” VERY PUZZLING Once while a doctor was passing a wounded soldier’s bed, he said, “Is there anything I can do for you?” “Yes, answer me this question,” replied the soldier. “Fire ahead,” said the doctor. “Well, does a doctor doctor a doc- tor the way the doctor being doc- tored wants the doctor to doctor him, or does the doctor doctor the doctor the way the doctor doing the doctor- ing wants to doctor the doctor?” HOW DO YOU SPELL IT? Peter: “There is something wrong with my trial balance.” Mr. McCarthy: “Well, I should say so. The trouble lies in your cents (sense).” 1. The letter M. 2. Because “nothing” will satisfy him. 3. Because it makes oil boil. 4. It has “eyes” and couldn’t see and “ears” that could hear. 5. When she is in “arms”. 6. Alone. 7. They arc on the “watch”. 8. To “hem” in the enemies.

Professor to Mrs. Davis: “Your daughter, Thelma, seems to be a general favorite; where was she edu- cated?” Mrs. Davis: “Everywhere — except in the head.” OLD MYSTERY CLEARED UP. “Why is it,” Kathryn asked Rccne, “that you fat girls are always good natured?” “We have to be,” answered Kath- ryn. “You sec, we can neither fight nor run.” Miss Gilbert (drawing two parallel lines on the blackboard) : “What re- lation are these lines to each other?” Manuel: “Twins!”

THE WIZARD 21 And many, many, joyful kisses, But don’t forget your old time friends, And Christmas wishes to them send. LEILA FLEMING. ‘‘JOSHES.” John: “Mr. Shallenberger, could you enjoy rabbit if stewed?” Arthur: “Well, who wants to get that way to eat rabbit.” Eula: “Cupid sure is a good marks- man.” Reeve: “I don’t think so, for he is always making ‘Mrs.’ ” Mr. Preston: “Your answer is about as clear as mud.” Boy: ‘ “Well, that covers the ground, doesn’t it?” CUTTING IT SHORT. “Don’t be so long winded in your reports as you have been in the past,” said the manager of the “Wild West” railway to his overseer. “Just report the condition of the track as you find it, and don’t put in a lot of needless words that aren’t to the point. Write a business letter, not a love letter.” A few days later the railway line was badly flooded, and the overseer wrote his report to the manager in one line: “Sir — Where the railway was the river is. Yours faithfully, .” VICTIM OF ENVIRONMENT. “Jack told me he loved me, but I don’t know whether to marry him or not.” “Don’t you think he tells the truth ?” “I’ve no doubt the dear boy tries to, but you see he works in a Weather Bureau.” 1. What is that which occurred once a minute, twice a moment and never once a hundred years? 2. Why is the most discontented man most easily satisfied? 3. Why is the leter B like fire? 4. Why are corns and potatoes like idols? 5. When is a country like a baby? 6. Give a word that has five let- ters when you take away two there is one left. 7. Why are the hours from one to twelve like good Christians? 8. Why do we use sewing ma- chines so often in war-time? See answers on next page. Mike HIS POTATOES. : “Say, Pat, how did your po- tatoes turn out?” Pat : “They didn’t turn out at all. I dug ’em out.” A FUNNY ROAD Stranger:. “Where does this road go?” Old Timer: “It doesn’t go any- where, it stays where it is.” A father had instructed his inquisi- tive, talkative boy always to think three times before speaking once. Later the little boy was sitting on a stool beside the fireplace. His father came in and stood with his back to the fire. Boy: “Father, I think — ” Father: “That is right my son.” Boy: “Father, I think — ” Father: “That is right my son, but •what is the subject of your thoughts?” Boy: “Father, I think your coat- tail is on fire!” Father: “You little rascal, why didn’t you tell me that before?”
