Not Wholly Crazy.

A supervisor Of an insane asylum
directed one of the half-witted inmates
to whitewash the walls. The lunatic
did as directed and really performed a
very creditable Job, but for some I'm.
foreseen reason he had neglected to
whitewash a space over the clock.
THAT is very well DONE" said the
supervisor as he returned to inspect.
but catching himself up short he de.
manded:
"But why did you leave that space
over the clock?"
"Oh, l don't believe in working
overtime" was the response.

An American young lady, who had
once been graceful in form, but who
was now becoming stout, was having
a gown fitted by Partisan tailor, and
she complained it was so tight she
could not sit down. The tailor, who
understood American slang, blandly in
auired: "Does madame prefer a gown
in which she can stand up and look
smart, or in which she can sit down
and look sloppy?" Madame preferred
the tight-fitting costume, of course.
