Show Out of the Past Our kind correspondent, H. P. F., i sends us a lengthy contribution of clipped anecdotes and jokes from a scrapbook compiled in 1840. - We have room for but two : ! A beautiful woman said to a general gen-eral officer. "How is it, having obtained ob-tained so much glory, you should still seek for more?" "Ah, madame," he replied, "how Is It that you who have so much beauty should still put on rouge?" "Tom, tell me the greatest lie, now, you ever told in your life and I'll give you a glass of cider." - "Me? I never told a lie." "Boy, draw the cider." Boston Transcript. |
