Show Mrs. Jones Knew Why. Mr. Smith was conversing with Mr. Jones. "Say,"-' said Smith, "do you know why it is you are like a donkey?" "No," said Jones in surprise. "Why, because your tetter half is stubbornness -itself," said the brilliant bril-liant Smith. Jones thought over the matter all the way home, and on arriving he looked at Mrs. Jones with the expression ex-pression of a man who is about to do himself proud, and said: "Say, do you know why I am like a donkey?" There was a long Bilence from Mrs. Jones, and then she smiled pityingly, and said: "Why, I suppose it is because you were born that way." |
