Q WISE CRACKS Mary Colchin-Poor Smith surely enjoyed life. Anna Colchin-Yes, he enjoyed it so much that people are getting up a fund for his widow and children. Teacher-Fred, why are the altitudes of the two parallelogram rectangles equal? Fred Foos-Why, I don't know. Teacher-Why, Fred, you had Z1 chance to find out when I left the room. Fred Foos-But that would have been cheating. Teacher-Richard Miller, why is the coal gas cooled in the condensing chamber? Dick-Because we do not want hot coal gas. Classifying Him Poets, said one of them, are born, sir. So also, answered the editor, are cockroaches, mosquitoes and such. Reporter-How did the prisoner procure the means of committing suicide? Warden-A bride gave him one of her iirst mince pies and he cut his throat with tl1e crust. Some Advertisement An uptown window displayed this notice, XVhy walk about in misery when you can be decently buried for only two dollars. He Pinched Them. A woman gave her young son a half dollar to buy a pound of plums saying, Be sure, Tommy, to pinch one or two of them to see if they are ripe. In a few moments Tommy returned with both the fruit and the half dollar. I pinched one, as you told me, l1e explained, and then when the man wasn't look- ing I pinched the whole bag full. Mary Neptune-I hear that Elsie Brunnegraff has played a pipe organ for ten years, Helen Schmitz-Poor girl, she must have been tired out after she finished playing. Cletus Junk-Show me the man that wan's to be interrupted in the middle of a sentence. Leo Schultz-All right. Come right along to the next prison and I'll show you one. Bob R.-You say, Pete, that you would like to get a job. Pete M.-Yes sir. Bob R.-What would you like to do? Pete-Well, it all depends on where I am working. In Canada picking bananas, or in Florida shovelling snow. Pete Mylott-Come on. Modoc, let's go up into the office and muscle the dumbells. Modoc Harris-Nope, I don't think that I can lift you tonight. Minus the Brogue I've been cheated, said the irate young housewife. How? asked the grocer, I ordered Irish potatoes, and my husband says the ones you sent me were grown in Michigan. Qaooooovoovooooooooooo--fooQ ooo+Qooao -ooo: Ninety-five
