TAPITOL
* JOKES
BY FREDERICK w. DALLINGER
U. s.. Representative From Massa-
chusetts, Eighth District

1t is not always the men who are
unromantic. At times the woman
exhibit the practical nature. I've
illustrated this often in my speeches
with this story:
Josephus and Samanthy were
lovers. They sat under an apple
tree in the early summer-the day
was balmy and a soft wind blew.
"Ah. Samanthy," breathed Jo-
sephus in a rapt voice, listen 20
the zephyr as at rustles gently
through the branches and hear how
the trees moan and sigh and sigh
and moan melodiously in the
breeze"
Samanthy looked up brightly into
her lovers eyes.
"Well, Josephus," she remarked,
Il guess If o were as full of green
apples as those trees are, you'd SIGH
and moan and moan and sigh a lot,
too"
