KEEPING THE When the
good ship Petrol was on her last
voyage, the mate was appointed to
keep the log. One day, however,
he INDUCED too freely in the forbid
den cup and was unable to attend to
his duties.
The next day, quite late, after his
head was once more able to hold his
cap, he decided to write up the log.
Turning to the page of the day be-
fore, he was surprised to find this
entry:
Mate drunk all day"
Here" he said to the captain,
ell w-wouldn't put that in, would
you? 1t isn't necessary"
Why not" replied the captain.
It's true, isn't il ?"
"Yes, it's true, ! suppose"
Well then, guess it had better
stand"
So the mate resumed the log and
began writing it up for that day.
When night came, the captain, as
usual, glanced over the record. II
was his turn to be surprised, fol-
standing out in large black letters
were the words, Captain sober al
day."
&" Here, Mr.. Mate" he called out
"come here. What do you NEAR
by this, you fool? Why anybody
would think 1t quite unusual for me
to be sober. What do you mean
sir ?"
Can't help that" responded thu
mate. "It's true, isn't It 2"
Yes, it's true, suppose"
well, then, I guess 1t had better
stand.u
