A STARTLER
"I have here," said the would-be
inventor, producing his .model, "an
improved alarm clock that will make
you jump, no matter how sound
asleep you may be."
"What is the improvement about
it?"
"You will observe that I have, in
place of the usual gong, substituted
an auto horn." Fun.
THE DOUGH MAN
By Jim Maneei
You might say he'3 a loafer,
You might say he's a crumb,
But, anyway, he keeps we folks
Right underneath his thumb.
Whenever our poor appetites
Make our insides feel lean,
He often has a "bun," by gosh!
The Baker man I mean.
P. S. But, shucks, maybs he vyr.s
bred that way. ' "
