THE J0kERS' COLUMN
A GLOOM DISBELIEF


A well-known novelist was aboard
the S. S. Magnetic at Montreal, and
just before the vessel left on her trip
for Liverpool was watching the load
ing of an enormous quantity Of Can
adian cheeses.
A number of school teachers were
on the boat, bound for Quebec, and
these young ladies' were very much
interested in the loading Of the
cheeses. One OF them asked the now
elist how many more there were.
"The Megantic takes on from $4,000
to $4,000 cheeses every trip" he
truthfully informed her
"How-how many people are there
on board ?" she asked.
about 1000 this trip"
For moment the young lady re-
garded him in establishment; then she
looked at the cheeses being loaded by
the hundred. Its truly wonderful y
she gasped. II never would have be-
lieved it if had not seen them with
my own eyes! And only 1900 people !!
Goodness me, they must be fierce
cheese eaters" - Philadelphia Tele-
