Show WANTED SUBSTITUTE. Representative Smith, of Pennsylvania, Pennsyl-vania, says that even Quakers, whom he regards as the very best of people, feel like using bad words sometimes, and as proof of this he teUs this: "Walking down the streets of Phlla-- delphla one day while the wind was blowing a perfect gale, the broad-brimmed broad-brimmed bat of a Quaker was lifted from his head and went rolling down the street. A small boy laughed at the old gentleman's calamity and the Qua- . ker made futile efforts to overtake the spinning hat aa it rolled along the gut- -ter. Returning hatless to the youth the Quaker said: " 'My lad, art thou a profane ladr " 'Once in a while.' replied the boy. " Then. lad. take this Quarter and damn that hat its full worth.' " |
