JOKES AT RANDOM I shot an arrow into the air: it fell in the distance. I knew not where, till a neighbor said it killed his calf, and I had to pay him six and a half. I got some poison to slay some rats and a neighbor swore it killed his catsg and rather than argue across the fence, I paid him four dollars and fifty cents. One night I set sailing a toy balloon, and hoped it would reach the moong but the candle fell on the farmer's straw, and he said I must settle or go to law. And that is the way with the random shot: it never hits the proper spot: and the joke you spring that you think so smatt may leave a wound in some fellow's heart.

Two colored men were standing on a street corner, discussing family trees: Yes, suh, man, said Ambrose, I can trace our family way back to a family tree.
