New old Jokes.

"Is there any new joke under the sum- asks George Augustus Sala. an English journalist and special core spondent.
 ''I doubt there being one very grave ly." he answers and tells two anec- dotes to support this skepticism.
 An intelligent Greek who acted as MT. Sala's guide while visiting Athens related to him as a modern Greek Joe Millerism the story of lawsuit. A deaf plaintiff sued deafer defendant The plaintiff claimed so many hundred drachmas for rent that was due. The defendant pleaded that he never ground his corn at night. The judge in giving judgment observed: Well, she's your mother. after all. You must keep her between you"
 "When I got home I found" writes MT. Sala. this apparently up to date triad of ludicrous non sequiturs In a collection of ancient Greek epigrams."
 There used to be told story of Sher. idan Knowles. the dramatist. who was first rate hand at Irish bulls. meeting one of twin brothers and asking him, (Which of ye Is the otherY'

The New Orleans Times-Democrat tells of blind man in a southern city who goes to the postoffice every day carrying a small. light riding whip which he holds slightly inclined to the front. with the tip just touching the pavement. His sense of touch has be come so delicate that the whip is al most an artificial eye. When the point encounters anything. he makes a few swift passes over the surface and gen erally determines the exact charactel of the obstacle. It Is done so quickly and deftly as to attract no attention and few passers have the least suspi cion of the old mans lnfirmity. Wher he reaches the postotfice. he turns un hesitatingly. mounts the middle stairs walks over to the lock boxes and with out any feeling around thrusts key into the right aperture.
