Show "WHEN I WAS YOUNG," said Sizzerpen, " people told me I could write if I would, and I didn't believe them. Just as soon, however, as they had convinced me, it seems I convinced them. When I thought I could write, the people thought I couldn't." -Boston Transcript.<br><br> Teacher with reading class: Boy (reading) - "And as she sailed down the river ----" Teacher - "Why are ships called she?" Boy - (precociously alive to the responsibilities of the sex) - "Because they need men to manage them."-Boston Transcript.<br><br> A man will wait to get shaved in a barber shop for an hour with perfect tranquility; but the same man will come home to dinner and if he finds the meal five or ten minutes late, he will tear around like a Buehan? bull. <br><br> The meanest man on record is the one who saw an archery club out practicing and sent and got seven arrows and stuck them into a cow in the next field. No amount of protestation could induce her owner to acquit the archers. -- Boston Post. |
