A LITTLE JOKE ON
THE PREACHER
— t —
I On Thanksgiving day a Mr. CheM
■ ter Marr and a Miss Esther McGibben
of Denver motored up to Elizabeth
with high hopes and grand aspirations
to be Joined in holy bonds of matri
mony and be made one for the re
mainder of jife. But think of the mis
ery, sorrow and disappointment they
must have fel.t when they found tho
minister had gone a turkey eating.
In their sorrow and sadness, with
hearts breaking with grief, they
learned that a justice of the peace
lived in town. In a very short time
their car drove up to the front door of
Justice Keran’a home on Main street
i and Court place and the parties told
their wants. In about thirty minutes
the cloud was rolled back, the knot
was tied and the bride and bride
groom entered their car, the bride
groom having his arms full of joy un
.descriable. Result was that Uncle
Johnnie Keran was able to buy a
sack of potatoes the next day.

FIGURE IT YOURSELF
He’s teaching her arithmetic,
Ho said that was his mission.
He kissed her once, he kissed her
twice,
And said: “Now that’s addition."
And as ho added smack by smock
In silent satisfaction,
She sweetly gave his kisses back,
And said: "Now that'ssubtraction.’
Then he kissed her and she kissed
him.
With out any exclamation.
Then both together smiled and said,
“Now, that is multiplication."
But dad appeared upon the scene
And made a quick decision;
He kicked tho lad three blocks away
And said: "That’s long division"
