The advance agent of a barn-storming wizard had just landed in the country editor’s office. “I want an ad. in your paper,” he said. “What for?” asked the edito£ “For the greatest and only living prestidig tateur. He can do anything and everything, change water into wine, and wine into water. Take a twentydollar note out of a cat’s mouth; take a ten out of a turnip; take a fiver out of a man’s hat every time he puts his hand in, and so on.” “Do all that, can he?” queried the editor. “You bet he can, and not half try.” “Can he take a dollar out of an editor’s pocket?” “Course he can; a hundred of them, for that matter.” “Well, he’s the man I’m looking for, and iff he can 4 teach me how I can do it, I’ll be darned if he can’t have his ad. in every column of my newspaper, frete, and I’ll get out a supplement besides.” - k 1 Baby falls and bumps its head, > Baby bawls, they think it’s dead, Mamma gets Bt.
