-» I Ee ---- = me -- JUST IN FUN ee ' Easy . Two cavalry recruits were hay- ing a chat. "Talking about riding," said one, "I once saw a chap in a circus who jumped on the horse's back, slipped uaderncath, caught hold of its tail, and finished up on its neck." "So what," retorted the other, "I did all that, in my first riding lesson!" ir Where's the Tip? Down in the small southern town where he lives, people are so fond of Uncle Mose, that the elderly Negro has become a trifle spoiled. One day he presented a check for $19.42 at the local bank. He took the money from the teller, counted it, then recounted it. He didn't scem to be satisfied, "What's the matter, Uncle Mose?" asked the teller. "Isn't it right?" "Yes," was the grudging reply, "but it just barely js." -- All But the Title Little Annie and Harold were playing together in the back yard, "1 know a wonderful game," said Harold. "Let's make believe we're Admirals and that we are commanding the Navy." "All right," agreed Annie, "Only I must be the highest admiral and give commands to you." Harold objected, and, as usual, Annie had a compromise, "Then," suggested the shrewd lilttle Miss, "let's play that I'm the Admiral's wife. That will do just as well," . Acquitted "One day," said the old country- man from the hills, who was on trial for murder, "when my rheu- matism was pestering me, and my daughter had just eloped with a good-ior-nothin' scalawag, and my barn had burned down and 1 lost both my mules, and my best old sow got the cholera and died and | just heard they had foreclosed the mortgage and the sheriff was lookin' for me, 1 told my troubles to one of these here optimists, and he said 'Cheer up, old top, the wors' is yet to come! So | shot him". Poe Rumors Two friends were discussing 'a new neighbor. "I believe Mrs. Green is a great gossip," remarked one. "Yes," replied the other, "she has a keen sense af rumor." With a Difference Saunders, though a bachelor, professed to be very fond of chil- dren, Nevertheless, when the youngster next door stepped on his new pavement before it was dry, he became very indignant. His sister rebuked him, "I thought you loved children," she said. "I do in the abstract," he replied "but not in the concrete." Dictionary of Movie Pests Nudger: Gently but firmly digs his sharp elbows into your ribs each time the screen reveals a situ- ation he considers too subtle for your dull mind to grasp. Explainer: Explains the minutest details of the plot to his hard-of- hearing - accomplice; sits directly behind you. . Paper Crackler: Frequents the matinees. She specializes in crunch- ing - cellophane candy bags at the climax when screen voices are low and tense. . Oh. Yes! © Betty: "Did you hear about the man who sat up all night trying to figure where the sun went when it went down?" Olive: "No, what happened?" Betty: "It finally dawned on him." Too Late. After recovering slightly from the shock of the budget in London, one employer called his staff to- gether and explained that there must be further reductions in wages. "It means we shall all have to tighten our belts," he ended. Then after a moment's pause, he turned to a junior clerk, who did not ap- year to be listening. "Do you un- derstand what I'm saying, Smith?" "Yes, sir,"® vépliced Smith, "but it's no good telling me that. My belt broke at the budget before last."
