TURNED THE JOKE,

In order to stimulate his trade, the
village blacksmith hung out a sign
that read. Whatever 1t Is Can Re-
pair It." On the morning of April
Fools day the town wag elbowed his
way through the usual crowd that
was collected around the door and
handed the blacksmith the parts of
broken lamp chimney.
I'D like YOU to put this together
for me as soon as you can, John" he
said, winking toward the crowd.
The smith took the ragged bits OF
glass, examining them carefully,
while the idlers looked on with con-
siderable amusement. Then he went
in the rear of the shop. Stepping
across the alley TO the grocery store
he bought a ten-cent lamp chimney
exactly like the broken one. How
every one laughed when he stepped
out of his little room a moment later
and put the whole chimney into the
astonished wag's hands with the dry
remark:
I'm have to charge half a dollar
for that job"

.often?" she asked.
The driver CLICKED to his broncos.
mo madam" he returned placidly;
never but once. The Christian
Herald.
