SAD.LOOKlNG MAN SCORED
His "Bluff" Worked, and as a Conse-

A sad-looking man entered the
shanty where the workmen were eat
ing their lunches. He was holding a
red can.
Hey, fellers," he saluted them,
Took at this can O. powder I picked
up outside. I've mind to blow me-

"Aw. cut out that stuff and beat it
out of here" ordered the foreman.
The man looked around, then
walked deliberately over to the stove,
opened the door and thrust the can
inside.
There was yell of dismay and in
a moment the shanty was empty.
Ten minutes later the runaways re-
turned. The can was lying harmlessly
on the fire and the sad-looking man
was gone. So were their lunch pals.

Have you noticed that dead dog in

Newton at the breakfast table

NO more did l, but there's dead
dog lying in their back yard, and it's

AS the dog was still there, stretched
stiff and stark, upon his return at
night. the colonel telephoned the
health department to come in the
morning and remove the body of a
dead dog in his neighbours back yard,
which was becoming offensive.
The men came early, before the col
onel had left home. to attend to the
matter. He saw them pick up the ami
NAL. drop 1t suddenly and turn away.
The colonel. mystified. hurried out to
see about it.
why didn't you take that dog
away" he sputtered.
The officer eyed him coldly. Jaw,

gust, that's a stone dog; piece of
bricky-brac; put out there for the ash
