Burdette’s Fun.

“What is that big iron thing full of holes?” asked Laura: “Locomotive boiler,” said Tom. Laura looked thoughtful. After a moment’s silence she asked; “Why do they boil locomotives?” Tom looked amazed: “To make ’em tender,” he said slowly. “Ah, Longjaw, up to your eyes in work, eh? What are you doing? Remodeling your lecture for next season ?” “Bless you, no; I’ve no time to do anything with the lecture. I’m just remodeling the press notices.” “Law Without Lawyers” is the title of a new book. That’s nothing strange. Lemonade without lemons has been an old thing ever since picnics were invented.
