SMILE AWHILE 1
Not Alone
Wife ? This article says that a
lone wolf won't attack a person.
Harassed Hub ? That doesn't
help us; our neighbors on both
sides have one as well as we.
Warning
"Dear Miss," wrote a particu
lar mother to the teacher, "don't
whip Tommy. He isn't used to it.
We never hit him at home except
in self-defense. '
Iron Man
"De doctah say I got too much
iron in my blood."
"Hoes yo' eat po'k. Sambo?"
"Sho\ Whufo yo' ask?"
"Boy, you'se full of pig-i'on."
Relapse
' "Look here, Boss," said a color
ed patron of an Alabama market,
"dat ham you sold me last night
was spoiled. '
"Impossible," said the butcher,
"it was cured in the best way."
"Well, boss, if dat ham was
cured it sho' had a powerful re
lapse."
Not Affected
! Careful Husband ? (with news
paper) I see that butcher has
gone up one and sixpence.
Wife ? Don t worry, dear, I've
been paying one and tenpence for
some time.
Not Likely
"Funny, my razor doesn't cut at

"Don't be silly, dear. Your
beard can't be tougher than the
linoleum."
Something Worth Figuring
School Visitor ? You encourage
your pupils to take an interest in

their arithmetic after figuring up
batting averages.
Or Maybe Arry

kitchen?
Maid ? Oh-er-my brother, mum.
Mistress ? What is his name?

Not Bad For Hoopville
An Easterner stood on the]
veranda of a little western hotel
and watched the sun go down.
"By George,' he exclaimed to
the native sitting nearby, 'That's
certainly a gorgeous sunset isn't
it?" '
"Not bad," was the answer.
"Not bad for a little place like
Hoopville. '
