Jokes on Himself.

MANY Jokes have been played upon me by init
IVA mate friends. I remember Ebert Hubbard
the well-known American journalist, once took me
from Chicago to New York on a halfticket. When
the conductor came round and Ebert handed him
the tickets, he looked at me- then at Hubbard, and
said:
How old is your SOM"
"EIe is seven, right enough" answered Hubbard,
and gazed out OF the window indiferently
HE needs a shave" remarked the conductor, as
he punched the tickets and started on.
Hubbard stopped the conductor IF you think
the little fellow is over age" ne said. why don't
you ask me to pay full fare for him"
Well he said ct is like this. I thought that
any one who had much cheek as you two have
should be rewarded"
But it was carrying joke too far thought, at
the time-although It made me chuokle afterward
when Ebert walked into the dining car, tied
napkin under my chin, lifted me into high chair,
and ordered waiter to give me bowl Of bread
and milk, while he sat opposite and ordered fried
chicken and everything nice on the bill-of-fare.
