A Fresh Wonder.

Gentleman in Bank—l wish to open a little savings account with this institution, if you please. Receiving Teller —Yes, sir; just inscribe your name and address in this book. That’s right, sir. Now, please give me your age and occupation. Gentleman—My age is thirty-three; occupation, editor. Bystander (grasping friend for support)—Editor! He said editor, didn’t he, Squibbs? Squibbs (somewhat dazed) —That’s what he did, Spreadit. Who ever heard of an editor depositing money in the bank! I tell you, old man, this is something remarkable, isn’t it, now ? Spreadit—Eet tees, eettees! Will wonders never cease? Squibbs, old chap, this knocks the proverbial-im-pecuniosity-of-the- editorial - profession theory off the stoop, doesn’t it, now ? Squibbs—lt does, for a dead moral. I tell you, chummy, we are favored of the gods to behold this fresh wonder. Let us take heart, for who can say that we, also, may not, at some day in the dim, distant future be able to put some greens to soak.— Arkansaic Traveler.
