OUR LITTLE JOKER
By Paddy

Blonde is now chief bread surgeon in
the large dining room.
Our usher has now got a noisy polka
dot tie and wears it at tango angle.
If Fire Water ST can charge on the mop
out In front the way he can charge on the
chuck, he sure can deliver the goods.
Some people are SO honest that they
won even steal kiss, but put all the re-
sponsibility on the girl by asking her.
| Mr.. Newell was there with the green
on the 18th; copied a raddish leaf from
the green house to decorate his front with.
The way that Hasty can catch mice
shows that he would be head liner for a
chop suey house-twenty-seve in two
days.
Officer Steven, it is claimed, tried to
stop the street car with his foot the other
evening and the car wheel tore the toe out
of one of the loud socks.
Soon have lots of news. Now story is
going the rounds that Ben pried his wal
let loose and enough change to purchase
four barrels of gasoline rolled out.
Our usher says he is going to drag that
lake and try and get his watch again.
Better try and drag few dollars out of
the next pay check-might get it sooner.
All right Duke, Will polish up the
brass on your collar, give you bar of
good soap for your bath and see to it that
Hasty or Crow don't rub soap in your
eyes for one of your shamrocks.
We will no doubt be able to keep cases
on the movements of the squirrels in the
warehouse now since a member of the
breakfast food firm shas turned scribe; and
Slim, like Ty Cobb, can put them over
all right.
Night Officer Cayonette showed up the
bunch of evidence showing he had shaw
ing ticket and near silk coat, but the
nearest the coat could come to silk was
bull wool.
Spring is sure here. Harry says he not
only heard a robin red breast sing about
6:l5 a. m. the other morning, but he saw
Mr.. Robin and said he: 81 was on my
way to work and not just going home
when l saw it,
The Major doesn't seem to care to go
out now since he has secured coachman.
The first trip the Major made with the
mail he forgot everything at the old pris-
on but the horse, and he would have for
gotten it too if he didnt have to walk.
Silent Bill pulled off a stunt Sunday
morning that can't be beat He went
over all the galleries with the pipe lighter
and never said word to anyone. Capt.
Brostrom says that is better than Bright
Eyes, Friday, Pollicoake, Nubby, Snow
ball, Toad or the Balloon could do.
If you want to see an irritated saint
just ask gent that has been on the wa
ter wagon in closed town over Sunday
how he feels; or a lady who has been
casting eyes at another womens husband
and failed to be mentioned as co-respon-
dent in the bill for DIVORCE.
A lady in New York has sued the pro-
prietOr of dancing pavilion for personal
injuries, claiming that while dancing the
hesitation waltz she sprained her ankle;
but she has nothing on the gent that
started to cross the railroad track, and
JooC DO hC was UCtWCCu IuC Tails TIC saw
the train coming and did the hesitation,
and now his heirs are suing the company
because the engineer didn't stop the train
in time.
At last stool pigeon has been defined,
and by an attorney at that. Said he, in
addressing the jury in case where per-
son was being tried for crime where the
evidence against him was secured by a
couple of stool pigeons hired by the police.
when Satan made the snake, the rat and
the toad, he had part of the mixture left
that he did not know what to do with; so
he threw it all in large vat, boiled it
down and made stool pigeon
81 got a letter. "You got what?''
81 say, l got letter and lots of sham
rocks from friend of mine in St. Paul.
Say Duke, for the love of Mike, cut this
going out nights out before it gets the
best of you" ooh! l amt got bun
on" said Duke. ''Here are both the
letter and shamrocks-take a look at
them,'' and sure enough he got an answer
to his ad he put in the Mirror. And then
he takes one of the shamrocks and starts
in hunt for the editor; so don't forget to
read what Duke has to say to his new
friend that remembered him so fittingly
on St. Patrick's day.
