last night that | believe hasn't been
told in these parts.
One cold morning in Detroit poor
devil was cranking his arm off trying
to get his flivver to start when Henry
Ford happened along. He walked
over, whispered into the radiator cap,
gave a twitch at the crank-and away
she went.
"How did you do it," asked the
owner who hadn't recognized his bene-
factor
"Oh, / just whispered, Turn over,
Lizzie, this is Henry" replied the
flivver king as he went his way.
Doc Tex Mackey told all the rest of
these in the Rotary Mop, of which he
was editor last week:
Sandy Jr., aged Is, was just going
into his first long trousers and his
father thought it a good time for
lesson in buying. He said, 'Now,
Sandy, We gaze doom ia Fairgusen's
and whatever price he asks FIR tha
panties, we offer him just one-half."
Ferguson quoted his trousers to
Sandy at ten dollars. Sandy says:
III gle ye five
"Now, Sandy since your father and
me are such longtime friends, I'll let
you have these trousers for eight"
"I'll gle We four"
"I'm poor man, and have five
BARNS to feed, but f'r auld lang syne,
I'll let you have 'em for six"
"I'll gle ye three"
"Hoot, mon! Did ye ever see such
lad. Here! I'll gle We the pants just
to get you out of my store, and don't
ever come back"
"Ill ma take less than two pairs"

with your friend Joe last night for
awhile, and when going away he said
Maggie, you sure have a large vo-

Maggie: Compliment! Honest to
