GOOD JOKES

ANOTHER KINO OF FINANCE. Norman B. Mack, who is a politician and who, therefore, never tells anything but the truth, relates this story about himself: “On one of my trips to New York 1 had to visit a bank that is not very well known. I got mixed up in my sense of location, and finally 1 asked a newsboy to direct me to the building, telling him that I-would give him half a dollar for his services. He agreed and led me to the bank, which was only four doors away. “ ‘That,’ I remarked, as I gave him the money, ‘was half a dollar easily earned.’ “ ‘I know it,’ he said, ‘but, boss, you must remember that bank directors are paid high in New York.’” —Popular Magazine.
