What Hit Him?

Topeka
millman
tells about
a
ln roof of a Kansas store that was
i01"11 off and rolled into a compact
Ufidle by a cyclone. Having a sense
* humor, the owner wrapped a few
,afids of baling wire around the
\u*n and shipped it to Henry Ford. In
. Ue time came a communication say­
ing;
‘It will cost you $48.50 to have
your car repaired. For heaven’s sake,
us what hit you.”
All Was Explained
. 9Ustomer: “ If this is all wool, why
ls it marked cotton on the label?”
Clerk: “ That’s to fool the moths,
^adam.”

Remarkable—What?
Small Nephew: Tell us about the
time you were frozen to death at the
North Pole, Uncle Jack.
Small Niece: No, Uncle Jack,
please tell us about the time you were
killed by wild Indians.
Biddy Ann, a white leghorn hen,
in Iowa, being deprived of her set­
ting of eggs, flew to the top of a tree
and took possession of a crow’s nest
and eggs. She comes to earth twice
a day for food and water.

“ See here,” the Indian inspector
declared, “ it is a violation of the law
now to have more than one wife and
the law must be obeyed. When you
get back home, you tell all of your
wives, except one, that they can no
longer look upon you as their hus­
band.”
“ You tell ’em,” suggested the In­
dian, after a moment’s reflection,
Parlor Set or Law Suit
Prospective Bridegroom (in furni­
ture shop): “ These prices make me
give up all thoughts of marriage. I
now realize it’ll be cheaper to let her
sue me for breach of promise.”—
London Opinion.
Advice From Headquarters
“ Dear Editor—I am in love with a
homely girl, but she doesn’t seem to
care for me, while a pretty girl with
lots of money wants to marry me.
What shall I do?”
Marry the one you love and send
me the name and address of the other
one.

A Detroit operator, Mr, Weiner,
was killed the latter part o f Septem­
ber by hold-up men for the small
sum of one dime, according to word
received from the Lemke Specialty
Company of that city.
Following his death a collection
was taken up for his wife and two
children. This was sponsored by
the Detroit Times newspaper and
amounted to $8,000.
Mr. Henry C. Lemke says of him:
“ The absence o f our friend, Mr.
Weiner, is very much regretted. He
has been known to be an operator
with a smile and a good word for
everyone, no matter when or where
you would see him.”
