HE CALLED HIM
A bumptious little man, who acted
as steward atjathletic sports, made
himself .very officious1 in keeping the
crowd back. J3e raised the anger of
one of the. flpectators, who thus ad
dressed him, in accents, of scorn:
"Bad ld.bk to you! If the conciet
was knocked out of ybii, you'd be no
bigger than a green gooseberry and
you're as sour as one already."

My friend Harry Jackson is nqt a
good card player. He admits it his
game is billiards. But that was nq
reason why his partner at bridge "tone
evening last week, should read the
riot act to him every time Harry
made' a bull.
After a particularly sad play" the
pestering partner finally turned upon
him with grasping teeth:
.Jackson, why in. thunder didn't
you follow my lead?" he yelled.
Harry was getting a little , peevish.
"If I follow anybody's lead," he re
torted, "believe jne, it'll be.anybody's
but yours!"
His partner snorted and subsided.
But, ik the next hand, after an.inex
cusable bad play, he threw down, his
cards in desperation.
"For the love of Mike, Jackson,"
he cried, "didn't you see me call for
a spade or a club? Haven't you any
black Buit.at all?"
'""Sure," cahie back Harry, with a
delightfully annoying yawn, "tilt Tm
keeping it for your funeral!"'
