Making 1t Rather Personal.

This is credited as one Of General
Lew Wallace's Turkish Jokes: There
lived In STEAMBOAT, Turkey, a well to do
Turk named lsmad Ismail Hassam.
He was endowed with oriental wit that
stood him well in hand when he was in
tight place. A neighbor called on Is
mail one day and wanted to borrow his
donkey to use an hour. lsmail made a
low salaam and said:
"Neighbor, ] am sorry, but my boy
started on the donkey an hour ago to
Scutari. BY now he is gayly trotting
over the hills far from the sacred pre-
cincts of Stamboul."
Just as Ismail finished his speech a
donkey's loud bray was heard in the
stable. which was under the same roof
as IsmaiIs house, but in the rear. The
neighbor said: --.--.-..
An, hear your donkey bray"
lsmail protested that his neighbours
ears were deceived and that the noise
was not donkeys bray. Then the
donkey, which was supposed to be Jog
cling along toward Scutari, brayed
twice loudly. 1t was too much, and
the neighbor cried:
"oh, that is your donkey, Ismail. Al
lah help me. / can now borrow him."
Then Ismail said:
Which do you believe is lying, the
donkey or mey'
The neighbor had to give Ismail the
benefit of the doubt and went away.
