4 TIP FOR THE JOKER.
CURIOUS MAN WANTS TO KNOW About

Its a funny thing" said the man
with the bad cigar, who had been
reading day before yesterdays paper.
"What's that? asked the young
man with the phenomenally short
coat.
why, the way these fellows that
write jokes for newspapers get things
tangled up" replied the first seeker.
GLOW is that" asked the long leg
ged young man.
"Why, look here,' continued the
man with the bad cigar warmly. 'Did
you ever read Dutch Joke in the pa
pers where two Germans are supposed
to be talking to each other
Sure l did, said the tall young
man, yawning languidly.
"Well, did you ever notice that
every time the guy that wrote the
joke has them jabbering at each other
in broken English? What do you
think of th;s?" He picked up tie
paper again and after bunting few
moments read as follows:

"Now, that's a good thing, isn't IT.
went on the man with the bad cigar.
eff these two Germans wanted to talk
to each o'her, do you suppose they
would amble around in broken Eng

German that they both understand.

try to tell you in bum German that
neither Of Us could speak or would |

protested the tall young man.

young man as he stopped sucking his
cane, care always insinuating that We

viii e go over this one which | read
in home paper last week:

of those vulgar Americans make the
remark that this morning you had a
big head.

The American looked as sober as a
criminal court judge.
"Well? he asked.
Don't you see,' explained the dis
guseted Britisher, poking the ether IN
the ribs with his cane, "the countess
says some one accused her companion

yertence (desperat, ly) the duke admits
there is nothing in his head. Now,
