WAYS OF SUMMER BOARDERS
They Are Usually Very Witty Pereas
Who Make Comical Remarks to
the Farmer.
Summer boarders are people who
spend several weeks in the country
each summer longing for a trip home.
They are usually very witty persons
and make comical remarks to the farm
er. Aside from the board they pay
him the fanner cleans up a tidy sum
each summer sending the things his
boarders say to the comic weeklies. A
summer boarder can merely look at a
cow and quick as a wink he will say
something funny. The farmer puts
this down in a book he always carries
around with him. In the course of a
couple of weeks he has several pages
of good Jokes to sell at his own rates,
says the. Philadelphia Star.
If you board with a farmer this sum
mer say some funny things to him
about the cows or the pigs. If he
keeps a horse always poke fun at his
horse. He will laugh at the funny
things you say. Then he will go In and
open up a can of fresh country* peas
out of his own cellar so that when you
go back to the city you will miss the
country vegetables. When you leave
be sure and tell him how you enjoyed
the country eating so that he can laugh
some more.
