The French have many Jokes at their
postal card system, which will now be
appreciated here. Even Punch immor-
talized that young man who delayed his
board bill several months by dropping
himself notes ut his clearinghouse from
his friend Prince Albert, which the land
lady religiously read. Here is a joke
from Paris on that Cerberus, the CON
cierge. Mr.. Prudhomme enters this
house and asks the concierge, " Any let
ters2' "0h yes, Monsieur" answers
the concierge contemptnously, handing
him two postal cords, but they are not
very interesting" Another, gallant,
enters. A concierge hands a card, on
which is written in a feminine hand: " /
will wait for you at eight o'clock at the
opera" The concierge gravely re-
marked, "You have but little time" II
reminds one of a joke Of Swift's. He
sent letter by an inquisitive servant.
He wrote as a postscript; IN. B.-You
may send a verbal answer by the bearer,
as he is careful man, and will be sure
TO read this letter before he delivers
it." 1t would have been study to have
seen that mans face when he came to
those lines.
