I says, 'Young man, this job is just
like a baseball game. Three strikes and you're out, Good-bye.'"
A rather patronizing individual from town was observing with
considerable interest the operations of a farmer with whom he had put
up for a while.
As he watched the old man sow the seed in his field the man from the
city called out facetiously:
"Well done, old chap. You sow; I reap the fruits."
Whereupon the farmer grinned and replied:
"Maybe you will. I am sowing hemp."

FASHION
"Isn't your wife dogmatic?"
"She was when Pomeranian pups were the style, but now she's
auto-matic."
The fashion wears out more apparel than the man.--_Shakespeare_.
"Women have queer ways."
"How now?"
"The styles call for mannish hats. So my wife bought a mannish hat for
eighteen dollars."
"Well?"
"She could have bought a man's hat for four dollars."
Women's fashions seem to be working around to the point where the
voice with the smile will have to be listed among the latest spring
styles.
The intrepid general was rallying her wavering female troops.
"Women," she cried, "will you give way to mannish fears?"
A muffled murmur of indecision ran through the ranks.
