| Saw Dust
A man had been slightly bitten
by the political bug, but before
he announced his intentions he
decided to talk it over with his
wife. She slapped an immediate
veto on the idea.
“I heard all about you from
my folks before I married you,
and I don’t want to have to hear
all that stuff about you again,”
she flatly -^declared.
Letting the grass grow under
your feet just means mower
trouble.
A citizen is a man who wants
better roads, better schools, better
public officers and lower taxes.
“Two,” shouted the pint-sized
umpire. "Two what?” snarled the*
big catcher.
“Yeah, 2 what?” echoed the
equally large batter.
“Too’ close to tell," said the
empire.
A father of five was askeji why
he had so many children. “Be-
cause," he said, “we never wanted,
the youngest one to be spoiled “
A youngster who had lost a
baby tooth, tucked it under his
pillow overnight like grandma
told him to, and happily collected
a dime from the fairies. Then the
little hustler snitched his grand-
ma’s lower plate in sharp play
for the jack-pot.
