A DRUNKEN DIALOGUE ABOCT
RAIN.

Two drunken fellows were walking
along in the rain. The druuksr Of tho
two asked:
"Dick (hic) does er rain -
"In corse it rains." said Dick.
The answer was apparently satisfactory,
and they proceeded several rods further,
when the question was again propounded
by the anxious searcher after truth under
difficulties
"Dick, l say D (hic), tell me, does o.
rain ?"
Johnny" said Dick, so!emnly. I'm
afraid yer drunk in corse its rain,n'.'
In lew minutes Johnny was again
troubled with doubts and sought to solve
them.
"Dick, seems-er me (hic) Ser, going
(hic) er-rain (hic)"
Dick. exasperated- -"Jhonny. yer fool
Don't yer see its rainin'. Cant yer toll
its rainin.' johnny
Johnny-"Scuse me, D (hic.) Iain't
