He Misunderstood

A committee was escorting a prospective candidate through a church which had advertised for a preacher.

"I understand this ch'urch is strictly non-sectarian," said the visitor.

"Oh, yes," he was told. "We whitewashed it from the foundation to the steeple, and there isn't an insect in it."

Expecting Too tluch

"Doctor," inquired the anxious patient, "will the anesthetic make rne sick?"

"No, I think not."

"Well, how long will it be before I know anything?"

"My dear sir, aren't you expecting almost too much?"

Steoling

The law doth punish man or woman, That steals a goose from off the Common But lets the great villain loose, Who steals the Comrnon from the goose.

Privqte

The boy on the bus kept sniffling, and wiping his nose on his sleeve. The lady sitting next to him said:

"Boy, have you no handkerchief?"

He looked her over thoughtfully and said:

"Yessum, but I don't lend it to strangers."

Soxophone qnd Sociol Success

It was only a short time ago that I scoffed at the saxophone. I never dreamed that it had such possibilities.. A social bore, finally I turned to that instrument as a last desperate resort.

My experiment was a huge success, overnight. Now I am the life of every party. ."Here comes George !" they shout gleefully when I enter the room. "He's brought it u/ith him ! Good boy, George !" These and kindred phrases greet me on every hand.

I've definitely arrived, and I owe it all to the discovery that a saxophone holds four times as much liquor as a hiP fask'

Men

Tolstoi said Men are like rivers: the water is the same in each, and alike in all; but every river is narrow here, is more rapid there; here slower, there broader; now clear, now cold; now dull, now warm.

Lost Meeting

They met on the bridge at midnight, But they never shall meet again, For one was an East-bound heifer, And one was a West-bound train.

A Footboll Prophet'

The sports writer said to the football coach at the start of the season:

"Who will do your kicking this season?"

And the gloomy coach replied:

"The alumni, I'm afraid."

Tolking Depression

Speaking of depression threats, there is an old French allegory that points a moral worth remernbering on that subject. It concerns the "vicious circle."

A portrait painter sat at his favorite cafe, sipping his favorite wine. A wealthy builder had just given him an order to paint his portrait. His small bottle finished, he was about to order a second, when his eye fell on a headline in a copy of "tr'igaro" at the next table. The line read: "Hard Times Are Coming."

So, instead of ordering his second bottle of wine, he called for his check. "Is there anything wrong with the wine?" asked the landlord. "The wine is good but I did not order the second bottle because hard timeq are coming, and I must economizer" said the artist. "Hard timesr" said the landlord, "then my wife must not order the silk dress she planned." "Ffard times" repeated the dressmaker when the order was cancelled "then this is no time to expand; I must not make the improvement I had planned to this place." "ffard times" said the builder when the dressmaker cancelled the building plans, "then I cannot have my portrait 1ninted." So he wrote the artist and cancelled the order. After receiving the letter the portrait painter went again !o his favorite cafe, and ordered a small bottle of wine, to soothe himself. On a near-by chair lay the same copy of "Figaro." He again read the headlines, but this time he also read the date. THE PAPER WAS TEN YEARS OLD. But the harm was done.
