TELL THIS AT
DINNER

A Swede was working for a
farmer who demanded punctual-
ity above everything else. The
farmer told him he must be at
work every morning at 4 o'clock
sharp.
The man failed to get up In
time and the farmer threatened
to discharge him. Then the man
bought an alarm clock, and for
some time every thinE went along
smoothly. But one morning he
reached the field fifteen minutes
late. The farmer discharged him
in spite of his protestations that
his alarm clock was to blame.
Returning to his room the dis
charged employee determined to
find out the cause Of his downfall
He took the clock to pieces and
discovered dead cockroacE
among the works.
