n. y. by golly i never thought i
wood live to see a guy that dident
know nothing about baseball but the
wimmen & they know enuff about it
to ast kweshuns which is a lot more
than a englisher who came over to
this city last week & saterdy he did
ent have nothing to do for the firms
were all closed & a bizness man says,
why man alive this is a good chanct
to go out & see the giants play which
they do with the zinnzinnati reds.
so he goes out rite away after
lunch & invests in a grandstander
purty soon the giasts with matty
in the leed comes out & the reds
they come out too -
the englisher sets up & watches
them toss the pill aroun & warm up
& then he settles down in his seet for
a nap from which he wakes up just
as they was going to the benches
well, he says to his self, i dont care
a lot for this game but i am glad i
saw 1 so i can tell the folks at home
about it & he makes a bee line for
the gate
outside he met this frend of Kisn
who says whats the matter, and the
englisher says yes i liked the game
all rite but i coodnt keep track of the
score very well
why man alive, the other fellow
said busting rite out laffing, you did
ent see no game for that was only
the practice before the game starts,
but the englisher says well, thats

A MILITARY TRICK
For the whole of one Sunday a
party of the Civilians' training corps
had been engaged in learning the art
of bridge building. For the last hour
or so they had worked on their own,
as their instructor was engaged else
where. But before they were dis
missed he came back to inspect their
work.
"Why this affair would collapse in
half an hour," he exclaimed, in angry
surprise, indicating where the knots
on one side were all tied wrongly.
"That's all right, sir" replied the
maker of the knots, calmly. "This
bridge is designed for, the enemy to
cross, not our men."

IN THE VERNACULAR

maid." "Yes, madam."
"What were your duties at your
last place?"
"I drove and cleaned the cars single-handed."'
"And as maid?" "
"I took down my lady at night and
assembled her in the morning, ma
dam." Punch.
