PAT, OFF, 27 : TS Test ee tas See ia “Tt ask a bit more than most, Ma’am, but I've worked for nearly every family in the neighborhood and you'll find me interesting to talk with.” | OW YOU TELL ONE | WELL SUPPLIED Antique Dealer: Now sir, if you'll step this way, I've a very fine speci- men of a Queen Anne sidebcard I would like to show you. Client: Say, that old queen of yours must have had a big dining room. This'll be the eighth sideboard of her I've seen this week.—Tit-Bits. EQUALLY SQUARED “What did father say when you told him you were going to take me away from him?” “He seemed to feel his loss keenly at first, but I squared things by giv- ing him a cigar."—Chicago News. HIS MISTAKE “Now,” the lecturer asked, “is there any man in the audience who would let his wife be slandered and say nothing? If so, stand up.” A meak little man in the rear ros: to his feet. “What!” roared the iecturer “Would you let your wife be slandered and say nothing?” "Oh, I'm sorry,” the meek man re- Plied. “I thought you said slaughter- ed."—Ipswich, England, Star. Another objection to dieting is that Somebody may take you for an ac- cordion when you wrinkle that way. Government has its faults, but what other business would be effi- cient if the stockholders took an in- terest only once in four years? It's easy to recognize the exdough- boy now. He is the fellow surrcunded by seven used-car salesmen. Great American puzzle: If 84,632 crimes are committed, and the men tried aren't guilty, who in thunder is? FOUR YEARS EARLY “Are you going to my sister's birth- day party?” “Which is it?” “Twentieth.” 4 “I was there four years ago."—An- swers. It must console the victim, when the jury's verdict is reported beyond |Jordan, to discover that the accused | didn’t kill him after all. FOOLED Small boy (phoning)—Hello, who is this? Father (recognizing voice) — The smartest man in town. Small Boy—Pardon me, I got the wrong number.—Capper’s Weekly. Correct this sentence: “Can you let me have a quarter,” murmured the panhandler, “to get a decent | bath?” UNFAILING EVIDENCE “And you are sure that you saw my | wife down town today?” “Quite sure.” “Did she have two gold teeth in front?” “I cant't say as to that, Lecause her mouth was closed.” “Then it wasn't my wife.”—Capper's | Weekly. Television will at least let us know whether the crooner is singing through a megaphone or just his nose. | Daily Cross-word Puzzle | ACROSS 1. Ecclesiastical court ‘8. Purposed 20.
