One day, some rabbit reporters came to in terview him. “Mr. Rabbit, how old are you?” asked one bunny. “Oh, I’m very old.” “Do you know why you have outlived your friends?” asked the other bunny reported. “Do you do anything unusual?” “Well, I always take a bath in beer.

WHOLESALE ANNIHILATION “I ate a worm,” said the young ster in the kindergarten. The teacher, thinking that the child had perhaps really ' done such a thing, gave the tot a long sermon on the evils of eating worms and finished her argument with the point, “Why, just think,” she said, “how badly the mama worm felt to have her little baby eaten up.” To which the child replied, “I ate she’s mama, too.” ^ Jack Alexander, left, and Ed Garrett, right, are shown above presenting certificates to the boys wh® finished the coaching school that was recently held at Camp Sapphire.

Members Of Ecusta Coaching School Graduating Cla«» TOO MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT "Why did you shoot the man’s dog?” asked the judge. “I under stand the animal was perfectly quiet and never disturbed anyone.” “That’s right,” admitted the culprit. ‘Tve never heard him howl In all his life, but he always looked as if he was just going to. He’d come out into the yard a doz en times a night, squat down, look at the moon, draw in his breath, open his mouth and get set to howl from here to Swanville, then change his mind, crawj under the porch, and go to sleep. No, he nev er howled, but the suspense was killing me.” THE LEAST OF THESE A speaker was lecturing on for est reserve. “I don’t suppose,” said he, “that there’s a person in this house who has done a single thing to conserve our timber resources.

EVIDENCE A-PLENTY “You say you met the defendant on a street car and that he had been drinking and gambling?” said the attorney for the defense during the cross-examination. “Yes,” answered the witness. “Did you actually see him ta&e a drink?” “No.” “Did you actually see him gam bling?” “No.” “Then how could you possibly know,” exulted the attorney, “that the defendant had been drinking and gambling?” “Well,” explained the witness, ‘he gave the conductor a blue chip for his carfare and told him to keep the change.” PARLEY VOUS? "My dear, what a lovely cha teau you’re wearing.” “Thank you, dear, but the word is ‘chapeau’ ”. “Darling, when a hat’s that size, it’s a chateau.” HEALTHIER TO LOVE An old gentleman on a walk met a little boy with a dog. “Does your dog love you, my little man?” said the old gent. “You bet he does,” enthusiasti- Cfljly replied the youngster.
