Joke on School Superintendent.

Supt. Maxwell recently told this
n on himself:
While visiting a school in Brooklyn
he noticed that one Of the boys had
something the matter with one eye.
He asked the boy IL read first with
one eye closed, then the other. This
test brought out the fact that the
boy was blind in one eye.
DR.. Maxwell told the boy to go right
home AID not to come to school alaju
until he had been to see an oculist.
Early next morning the boy was
back In his place.
Have you been to an oculist?"
asked his teacher.
NO, ma'am," was the response.
But didn't the gentleman who a
here yesterday tell you not to come
back until you had found out about
your eyer"
Me mudder SAYS there's nothin' the
matter with me eye"
But you can't see with your left
eye"
please, teacher, me mudder says
it's a glass eye."-New York Times.

There is no disagreeable stomach
