One of the best stories of the hus tling real estate salesman we ever heard comes from one of the fra ternity who isn’t afraid to tell a joke because it happens to be on him. This salesman heard of a man who was anxious to trade a farm for some city lots. So he jumped into his au tomobile, drove to the farm owner’s town office and warmly invited him to come out and look at some fine sub urban property The prospective buy er seemed glad of the opportunity and they were soon speeding toward the subdivision in which our hero was in terested. Half an hour beyond the city limits the rpal estate man began to point out corner lots, prospective paving and sewer systems, locations for imposing residences and all that sort of thing. “The city is growing right out this way,” he said. “Facts and figures prove that beyond the possibility of a doubt. In ten years these lots will be in the most fashionable part of town and will be worth five times what they are selling for today. While your farm will —by the way, where is your farm located?” “We passed it on our way out here from the city,” said the prospective buyer. “Want to look at it?” —Cleve- land Plain Dealer. GOT ALL THEY HAD. '§ll “Tom has broken with his rela tives.” “But he broke them before he broke with them.” Dear Me. “Is this Mr. Biggs’ office?” The clerk looked up. “No, sir; Mr. Biggs’ office is on the other side of the passage.” “Thank you,” said the other, and stepped outside, leaving the door wide open. “Hi, sir! You’ve left the door open,” yelled the clerk after him. “Dear me, so I have. You see, all the doors at my house are fitted with Blodger’s patent springs. Allow me to show you a specimen. Never wears out, never cracks or jams or needs oiling and ” —Tid Bits. Turned Down. W. Somerset Maugham, the English playwright, was praising the Ameri can girl. “The independent American girl,” he said, “will stand no nonsense — especially from elderly married men. “Coming over on the boat there was a beautiful American girl, and one afternoon an elderly married man’s wife was heard to say to him; “ George, I don’t like the way you’ve been looking at Miss Blanc.’ “Poor George frowned and mut tered: ‘“Well, she don’t, either!’” Eggs. “How much are these eggs?” asked Mrs. Younglove. “Them are 35 cents a dozen, ma’am,” the grocer replied. “They’re fresh.’* “And these in the next crate?” “Them are 40 cents a dozen. They are strictly fresh.” “How much are those at the end of the counter?” “Them are 50 cents.” “But they are not marked fresh or strictly fresh.” “I know, ma’am. Them Is some I picked out to take home.” Work, or You’re NoooCy. A young Englishman who came to this country to enter business wrote to his father that he was making good in his work, and that America was a remarkably bustling and pro gressive place. “You simply must work or you’re not in it.” he wrote. “You must be busy, if you want to win out. It doesn’t matter so much what you work at, but you must work.” The Lucky Blue Bird The Symbol of Happiness and Prosperity. HAVE YOU SEEN IT ? There is one in the window of . F. P.
