Life and Death

A man with an uncanny mania for
Juggling with figures produced pencil
and paper and said to friend: 'Put
down the number of your living
brothers Multiply it by two. Add
three. Multiply the result by five.
Add the number of living sisters. Null
tiply the result by ten. Add the num-
Der Of dead brothers and sisters. Sub
tract $50 from the result" The friend
did it, "Now," said the other with
cunning smile, ''the right-hand figure
will be the number of deaths, the mid
die figure the number of living sisters,
and the left-hand figure the number of
living brothers" And SO it was.-Tit-
Bits.
