PARDON PLE.ASE

He (on phone): "Hello, what are you doing?"

Feminine Voice: "Getting ready for church."

fle: "Sorry, wtong number.t'

NOTHIN' FOR NOBODY

There rrlas a knock at the kitchen door. When Mrs. Smith opened it, there stood a lanky youth, black as the ace of spades.

"Good mawnin', ma'am," he said. "I is lookin' fot somebody that wants somebody to do sump'n. You all doan know nobody that wants to hiah nobody to do nothin', does you?"

Move Over Please

Little Miss Muffitt sat on a tufret

Eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider and sat down beside her, And said, "Ifi, Kid, is this seat taken?"

No Time To Fail

In my experience with men I have found that it is the busy man who invariably keeps his word and gets things done. The fellow with little to do is the one who fails to do things.-George R. Gaston.

Men Who Endure

Let a man fasten himself to some great idea, some large truth, some noble cause, even in the afiairs of this world, and it will send him forward with energy, with steadfastness, with confidence. This is what Emerson meant when he said, "Hitch your wagon to a star." These are potent, the commanding, the enduring men-in our own history; men like Washington and Lincoln. They may fail, they may be defeated, they may perish; but onward moves the cause and their souls go marching on with it, for they are a part of it; they have believed in it.-Henry Van Dyke.

AN' IS I HUNGRY!

He: "Mandy, you sho' Iooks good enuf to eat."

She: "Eat? I sho' do eat. Wha' at we gooner go?"

Third Aisle Left

A cute little lass approached the floor walker and asked: "Do you have notiolrs on this floor?"

The foorwalker looked her over, and then remarked: "Yes, madam, but we suppress them during business hours."

Brotherhood

God ! what a world, if men in street and mart Felt that same kinship of the human heart Which makes them, in the face of fire and flood. Rise to the meaning of true brotherhood.

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Enrichment

Each time you think good thoughts and act them out in life they feed your mind and character. Nourishment can be had only through use. Unused thoughts are like good books on the shelf which are unread. One becomes educated only through reading, study and application, not through mere possession.-Aaron Wirpel.
