Old Wheeze Torpedoed.

“What is the matter with Scrlbson, the newspaper humorist?” “He said he has been disillusioned and his conscience will no longer permit him to use a joke that has helped him earn a living for many years.” “How did that happen?” “A pipe began to leak in his house and he telephoned for a plumber. The plumber not only came In a jiffy, but he brought his tools with him and finished the job in half an hour.”—'Birmingham Age-Herald.
