IAA, K 1 Customer-It's very kind of you to pick up the package I dropped. Clerk-Not at all, ma'am. We men are tired of being accused of being polite only to pretty girls. Game warden-Hey, kid, what have you been catching there? Trout, eh? Don't you know this ain't the season for trout? Small boy-Sure, but when it is the season for trout, there ain't any around, and when it ain't the season, there's always a lot of 'em. And if the Iish ain't going to obey rules, blamed if I am either. Boss at clerk's meeting:-Be a little more enthusiastic when you speak to a cus- tomer. Open your mouth and put yourself into it. The closing exercises began with the displaying of a portrait of George Washing- ton. Who is this? the teacher asked. The children sat mute and unresponsive, till finally one little fellow piped up: I know who it is. We got that picture at home. Ma told me who it was. He swelled with pride.

Mistress-Why, how could you eat that big dish full? There were three pounds. Maid-Yes, 1na'am. This is National Prune Week and I was celebrating, Out-of-town friend-Are you sure your wife knows I'm coming over the week-end? Inhabitant-Ot course. Didn't we argue about it for two hours this morning. Say, Porter, did you find a twenty dollar bill in my berth this morning? A broad smile covered the countenance of the porter, Yessuh, boss. Thank yo, suh. Mrs. Smith-Yes, the doctor says my John is slowly dying by inches. Mrs. Jones-Well, it seems to me that you'l1 wait quite a long time for the insur- ance as John is six feet and four inches tall, , Freshman-See that big fellow over there, Legs they call him, he broke three records last week.
