Little Girl (looking vertising page):

over ad- Mamma, why do all these boarding houses object to children?

Fond mamma: I'm sure I don't know. Go and see what the baby is howling about, and tell Johnny to stop throwing things at people in the street, and make George and Kate stop fighting, and tell Dick if he doesn't stop banging that drum so hard I'll take it away from him.

rather well and came out of the restaurant very late at night. Seeing a taxi passing by, he hailed it and climbed 'in.

"Where to?" called back the driver.

"Where to?" said the passenger. "How long have you been on this job?"

"Twenty years."

"Twenty years!" cried the in- ebriated one, "and you shtill ask me where to?"

"Certainly," replied the driver, with wonderful patience. "I drive hundreds of people round, and they all go to different places."

"Thatsh all ri," came the passen- ger's reply, as he sank back on to the seat. Drive me there, too."

Then They Saw Red

"Because my friend has dyed her. hair they think she is not all right. She is a very good girl."--Girl wit- ness.

She was a cheerful little pet. With dark, efficient hair: She saw herself as a brunette,

And thought it wasn't fair. And so with reformation found

She golden-dyed her head:

It seemed to her she was a blonde,

But other folk saw red.

Ill no Longer

My pal Joe has been a bit poorly just lately, so yesterday I popped in for a while to cheer him up.

"Well, George," she says, "how do you think he's looking?”

"Says I, "don't you worry about Joe he's quite his old self again." "You really think so?" says she. "Not the slightest doubt," I tell her. "Why, when I left him he was blowing f'froth medicine!"
