SHE--"Oh, John, you are such a wretched financier. Why don't you keep
your account in a bank that has plenty of money?"
A Hebrew by the name of Cohen went into a bank one day and asked the
cashier to discount his note. The bank cashier said:
"Mr. Cohen, I can't discount that note unless you get some one you
know, a responsible man, to indorse it."
Cohen said to the cashier: "You know me, und you're responsible; you
indorse it."
BAPTISM
"You don't know me, do you, Bobby?" asked a lady who had recently been
baptized.
"Sure I do," piped the youth. "You're the lady that went in swimming
with the preacher last Sunday."
Little Edward's twin sisters were being christened. All went well
until Edward saw the water in the font. Then he anxiously turned to
his mother and exclaimed: "Ma, which one are you going to keep?"
Throughout the christening ceremony the baby smiled up beautifully
into the clergyman's face.
"Well, madam," said he to the young wife, "I must congratulate you on
your little one's behavior. I have christened more than 2,000 babies,

The young mother smiled demurely, and said:
"His father and I, with a pail of water, have been practising on him
for the last ten days.
