Ho was prodding around on his farm a few days after tho flood, prying tho elephant ele-phant out of tho mud, when a pigeon flow up, and roosted on the ark. Noah stood up and put his hand on the small of his back nnd wiped the mud out of his eyes nnd saw the dovo and broke out: "Say, you you you wall-eyed prevaricator what did you get mo out of my nice warm ark Into this catfish hole for? I thought you said It would bo dry." ."Oh, well," said the dove, as he munched an ollvo from the olive bowl and reached for a cheese sandwich nnd flew over to the bar, "of course If you're that particular, but I only meant comparatively." compara-tively."
