HUMOP OF THE HOUR
a Joke.


A big, good natured farmer was
swaiting the suburban train, accompa-
MED by a handsome. Gordon setter.
Two sons of Britain stood near him.
The dog strayed away from his owner,
who was reading a newspaper.
"Hey!H' called the farmer. "Come
here, L~ocksmith." And the dog imme-
diately ran to his feet.
One of the Englishmen approached
the farmer.
''NIay I ask" he said, what you call
ed hat dog?"
"Locksmith,' said the farmer.
"And why. pray?"
Because every time l kick him he
makes a bolt for the door,"
There was a general laugh, in which
the EngIishman joined.
When he returned to his companion,
he remarked:
"Most extraordinary name that man
Oyer there calls. his dog"
"What?" asked his friend.
"Locksmith," replied the first Briton
"And why such a name?"
Because he says every time he kicks
i'm he bolts for the door."-Baltimore
