could quickly settle that region

And that reminds me of a joke.
Always like to put Jokes in a long
and serious dissertation like this.
It adds meat to the subject. The
minister, it seems, w^s highly per-
turbed about sin, so he point blank
asked anyone in his audience who
loved sin, to stand. Well, a little old
lady of seventy years, stood up. The
minister was shocked. "You mean
to say you love sin Mrs. Aberthy?
he asked. "Sin!, oh no!" the little
lady answered, "I thought you said
gin."

Is but one way and that's the right
way. And the right way would be
to ask the man who is neither
wet or dry, because he will be
neutral on the subject and there
(ore unbiased. Now we know that
any man who drinks is a wet and
any man who dosen't is dry,
therefore the problem now is to
find one that neither drinks or
dosent, but that's your problem,
to solve, mine was the wet and
dry issue.

Attorney: Is this the first time
you have ever been cross-exam-
ined?
Witness: Not exactly. I'm

every Joint in his fingers the other

"What a tragedy. How did the
accident happen?"
"It was no accident. He was
trying to crack jokes."

"And don't be sitting there," she

A ladies club in a midwestern city
invited a book reviewer to speak at.
its November meeting. Tlte book
reviewer told the plot of a real
tear jerker, one of those things
that "pull at the heart strings."
The entire assemblage was in tears.
All but one—a lady who sat dry-
eyed through tile entire recital.
After the lecture, the reviewer ap-
proached the unmoved one and
asked her why she hadn't been af-
fected by the story.
"Oh," she said, "I'm not a mem-
ber of the club."
The Capitol Building in Wash-
ington, D. C., covers approximately
three and a half acres of ground,
and the materials used in its con-
struction weigh more than 4.450
tons.
Mark Twain's famous stories have
brought laughter to the people of
many lands, but he was personally
pessimistic and took little Joy
from living. In his autobiography
he recalls that he was as a boy
once rescued from drowning—and
never felt gratitude to the people
who saved his life.
Many of the states have names
derived from Indian words or phas-
es. Ohio is an Indian word for
"great"; Kentucky is from the In-
dian "land of tomorrow"; Mich-
igan means "big lake"; Oklahoma
is the Choctow word for "red peo-
ple"; and Minnesota is front the
Sioux words meaning "sky colored
waters."
Tlte increased price and scarcity
of eggs has certainly given chickens
around Claude, something to crow
over.
