Some guys have got so. muoh dough that they have to have the.ir hat brushed every hour by a regular hat-brush- , or. if they didn't have the hathrusher they woulh't have any v. ay of being sure that they wore real rich and kinda superior. Well, one fellow advertised for U va'.et. and a bile. huskv nnv canm and answered the ad. "I want a man that knows his onions." says the advertiser. "I I gotta have a man that ain't afraid of a clothes brush, and a man that is well-behaved. Behavior counts a lot." "Well," says the job-hunter, "I don't think you can get a better one than me. I'm a regular behavorist. Why, I got a record of J my good behavior. I got eight months and three days off for good behavior last time, and before that I would of got three months off l . if I hadn't got roused one day and ( throwed a shovel at otic of the guards."
