There IS a good Joke on one Of Mex
ieo's popular young business men, on
the west side Of the square. He is a
great jollier In the tiSt place, but now
be is seriously wondering in his own
mind, whether it is a good plan after
all, TO Jolly, for there are times when
you are in earnest that you are not
taken so, for instance, when this
young man told about sixteen little
folks that be would take them all to
the theatre last Monday, they could
not hardly believe It, for he had joked
them often before, In fact on another
occasion be promised to take them,
but didnitdream they took il serious
~, but they did and we're about as
disappointed children as you sver saw
50, Of course, this time, thinking the
same fate awaited them, but equally
determined not TO miss the show, they
purchased their own tickets and then
vent 10 and inquired OF their bene-
factor as 70 the g~enuineness Of his in
tentions, which be confirmed by pro-
duclng his tickets. Imagine his sur
prise aud disappointment when be
learned they had thought him only
and had purchased their own
tickets Guess they thought time
about was fair play.
