Lieut. Commander Donald B. McMillan, with the lovesand well wishes of his friends on his Seventh Expedition to the Arctic Depends on the Accent--Blanche King contributed a cross word puzzle laugh. A Jew was solving a cross word puzzle. He said to his family: . "Give me a word in one letter that means a food and isn't T. . Quick. Give gun' X, (meaning eggs for| those who do not get the accent. Mike Hennessy was catholic in his contribution, giving several laughs in different dialects. One was about a little Jewish boy in school. The teacher asked all who wanted to go to heaven to stand up. Every pupil arose except Ikey. "Why, Tkey, don't you want to go to heaven?" asked the astonished teacher. "No" was the answer, "Papa says that business is going to hell." , Wellington" Cross wrote: "A man motoring across the country had a great deal of trouble with his car, one blowout after another. When he finally got fixed up, he broke speed records out in William Jennings Bryan's country, and was: ar- rested. The judge fined him $10.00. The man laid down a $20.00 'bill and walked out. "The Judge called after him, 'Come back, I fined you ten dollars and you have left twenty dollars. "That's all right' answered the speeder, T'm going away from here a lot faster than I came in.'" A Green Hemorrhage.--Snike MeCormick wrote a humor- ous monologue which had to do with explorers and adventures, and told about what he had discovered on a Winter expedition to Buffalo. The ramble of nonsense ended with: "The scourge of the North (Buffalo) is the wandering rum hound, whose howls may be heard throughout the long.Winter night." Ernést Thompson Seton wrote about an Irishman, who had dropped a can of green paint from the scaffolding. Pat came by and called-up: "Mike have you had a hemorrhage?" Mayor Hylan sent a delightful story. It seems that Pat was a very bad provider, and a very hard drinker. His tarnily suffered and were always in want. The day came when Pat went to sleep for the last time. The funeral services were held in the cathedral, and the priest eulogized the departed. "A good provider, a kindly father, a gentle husband," the priest went on. Mary did not understand. She nudged her son and whispered : "Hist, Tommy, look about and see if there's another corpse in the church." Jackie Coogan's Favorites,--There isn't space to give all the stories. However this report would not be complete without the contributions of Jackie Coogan. His letter was written in a bold, open scrawl, and wished Dr. McMillan success He also stated, the letter being writterr dufing the recent hot spell," "This weather makes me wish I were sitting at the foot of the North | Pole eating an ice cream cone."

She was passing the theatre with her little boy on a very hot day, and dropped in to the matinee to cool off a moment.

The conundrum which pleased Jackie so much is: "A man and a goose went up in a balloon. ~The balloon broke, and the | man and the goose fell on the church steeple. How did the man get down?" The answer which Jackie grasped so readily has stuck many an adult. "He plucked the goose." And if that is not laugh provoking, stop and think what the pillows are stuffed with. McMillan will probably have to. The other Coogan story is about a little boy who had a pet e dog was killed one day, and when the child came home his mother 'told him. But there was no com- ment and no tears. Later that night the mother heard her boy ¢ 'and screaming in the nursery. She went up to see what 8 was the matter.
