y â- *». JUST IN FUN Kive-In-One LaU' oDc afternoon an insurance agent secured admittance to the office of a big business man by dint of perserv:;rance. "You ought to feel flattered, young man," said the ijusiness man. "Do you know, 1 have al- ready refused to «ee five insurance agents today " "Yes, I know," replied the agent. "1 m all of them." Up To Him Hubby: "Isn't dinner ready yet? I have a good mind to go to a lestaurant." Wife: "Well, please wait ten nirutes." Hubby: "Will dinner be ready tfien?" Wife: "No, but in ten minutes I can change my dress and go wit!) yon." WeU-Spriet An English manufacturer of motoi car tires was the speaker at a businessmen's luncheon. In response to a toast he said: "I have no desire or intention to inflict upon you a long speech, for it is well known in our trade that the longer the spoke, the big- ger the tire." Not Accepted The tall, long-haired youth en- tered the music pi^lisher's office carrying under his arm a imall roll cf paper. • "Good afternoon!'' said the pub- lisher. "What can I do for you?" The youth looked nervous. "Well--erâ€" I have a song here," he began, "and I was wondering if you would publish it. Erâ€" shall I ling it?" "Oh, yes, let's hear itl" said '. : publisher; and the youth stood up and burst forth. When the song was finished the publisher sat very still and said nothing. "Well," asked the young man, "what do 1 get for it?" "Oh," replied the publisher, with an air cf resignation, "I'm a pub- lisher, not a migi.'stra^e!" Fire Fighter Staying at a boarding house was a man not noted for his early ris- ing. One morning about six o'clock he surjjrised the landlady by walk- ing into the kitchen in his dressing gC'Wn, a small medicine glass in hit hand. He asked for some water. She filled the glass and he returned to his room. Three minutes later he returned, •till yawning, w-th the same glass and the same request, and five mirutes later he again askd her to fill the glass. "Whatever is the matter?" in- quiied the landaUIy. "Aren't you well?" The young man yawned. "I'm all right, but my â€" my roi.m's on fire." Still Undecided For more than an hour, the can didate for the Legislature had 'lili- gently sawed wood in his quest for the rnral young widow's vote. Now »he canio from tlie house, '.-miling her approval, as lie mopped pers piration from nis brow. "1 declare," .^he sail, "I don't know who to vote forâ€" you or Mr. Billings. Why, right now, le's in the kitchen rli irning." THE SPORTING THING Two Jonclusionc "Never mind Johnston â€" they'll do that at the mill!" A group of workmen were dis- cussing the evolution and origin of man. One of the party remained silent, wluii a ci.niiiani<.ii turned to him and (Uni;^nde< his opinion. "i ain't goin' to say," he replied doggedly, "I remember as 'ov.' Henry Green and m. thrashed thjt out once before at d it's settled as far as I'm concerned. " "But what conclr.sio'i did you come to?" "Well," he said, slowly, "we didn't arrive a' the same conclu- sion â€" no, we didn't Henry ar- rived at the 'orspital an' me at the police station." Some Chicken 'I'lic landlady glaixed round the tahle at her twelve hungry boarJ- trs before starting to carve the rather sad-loukiuR thicken. In rapid succession she asked each which iiart of the fowl 'le preferred. Ten o. tlicni decided on legs. The carver cropped her knife with a clatter on the dish "What do you imagine this is?" she said sarcastically, point'n^ to the ciiicken. "A centipede, or what?" "Oh, no," replied the boarder who had been served. "Judgting by the piece of neck I've got, I should imagine it was a giraffe." [ MOVIE ACTRESS HORIZONTAL 1,7 pictured mj>vie actress. 10 Heavy barge.
