Show Net M'.'ch Time to Spare. The conversation at a recent socisl affair turned to the subject of narrow nar-row margins, when Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma recalled an amusing amus-ing incident along that line. Some time ago a circus drifted Into n. rural town and announced the prices of the performance at 25 cents, children chil-dren under ton years of age ten cents. At the afternoon ahow a boy leading a little girl by the hand advanced to the ticket wagon. "Two tickets, mister," said the boy, with a businesslike air, "a 20-cent one for me and a ten-cent one for this little lit-tle girl." "A ten-cent one.," returned the ticket tick-et seller, sizing up the email mite of femininity. "Isn't she ten years old?" "Yes, sir," was the prompt rejoinder of the boy. "Ten years old today, but she wasn't born until five o'clock in the afternoon." Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. |
