The visiting
Englishman, with an
eyeglass screwed to
his eye, stared in
fascinated horror at
the ugliest infant he
had ever seen, which
was in its mother's
arms opposite him in
the street car.
At last, his fixed
gaze attracted the
mother's attention,
then excited her
indignation.
"Rubber!"
she piped wrathfully.
"Thank God!"
exclaimed the
Englishman.
"I fancied it
might be real."

The
teacher had explained to
the class that the
Indian women are called
squaws. Then she
asked what name was
given to the children?
"Porpoises,"
came one eager answer.
But a little girl whose
father bred pigeons,
called excitedly:
"Please, teacher,
they're squabs!"
BALDNESS
A patient complained to
the doctor that his hair
was coming out.
"Won't you give me
something to keep it
in?" he begged.
"Take this,"
the doctor said kindly,
and he handed the
patient a pill box. |
