Occasion for a Story,

A man had a story about a gun which
he delivered himself of upon all occasions
AT a dinner party one evening he writhed
In his chair for over an hour waiting for
a chance to introduce his story, but no
opportunity presented itself Finally he
slipped coin into the hand of waiter
and whispered: when you leave the
room again, slam the door,
The waiter slammed the door as direct
ed, and the man sprang to his feet, with
the exclamation: What's that noise-a
gum
"'Oh, no." returned his host, at was
only the door,"
"Ah, / see. Well, speaking of guns re-
minds me of little story. ."-Tit-Bits.
