the makers of the Yellow Fellow

point about this il that not a single

Not So Funny After All.

Two little fellows struck mine of
amusement one day last week and work
ed it for all it was worth.
Their plan was to stand at the street
corner, and when pedestrian got in
good range they called out excitedly,
pointing to the victims feet:
"Say! You dropped your footsteps !"
1t was great fun-for the boys.
Presently an old lady approached the
corner. She was fat and looked impor-
tant. The boys Rugged themselves in
sheer delight. This time, to prolong the
enjoyment, they began:
"Say, missus! 'Scuse us, but you
dropped somethinkr'
Dear me! What? Such nice little
boys, I'm sure" And she stopped and
picked up silver quarter lying directly
before her and sailed on.-Philadelphia
