EVOLUTION..
An innocent-looking country gentleman and a haughty sports- man were sitting opposite each other in a train. The Jutter had la fine dog with him, and was constantly being annoyed by the other asking about the pedigree of his dog. At last he replied to the curious farmer, "Well, if you so, much want to know, I'll tell you. The animal is a cross be- tween a farmer and a monkey!""
"Oh!" said the farmer, go 1 see it's related to both of us."..
