Show It Kept Him Poor. There was once a rich man who went touring in his automobile, and naturally, at a point 40 miles from, anywhere the machine broke down. The rich man had it towed to a repair re-pair show some distance from the scene of the accident, and there ho engaged the repair man, a rude, uncultured uncul-tured person, to splint the gasket and to glue the cam and to Justify the gimlet-springer. All of which the repair re-pair man did readily enough. And then he presented a bill for $100, with an additional $10 for overtime. over-time. "My good fellah," said the rich, man, gasping but paying the bill, "you. ought to amass a fortune, charging the prices that you do." "Alas," sighed the repair man, "I might, but you see, I own an automobile automo-bile of my own, and it is always breaking down away from home." This teaches us that even the most graceful dancers may have bunions. |
