A Ghastly Loan.

Representative Bascom Slemp said In Richmond the other day: “There’s something ghastly about German resourcefulness, something that, reminds me of Bill’s silk hat. “Bill was on his way to Joe’s funeral in a resplendent silk hat. A friend also on the way to the funeral, met him and eyed the tile enviously. “‘Where did yon get it, Bill?" he said. ‘You don’t own a tile—I know that’ “ ‘Sb!’ said Bill. ‘lt’s poor Joe’s. I borrowed it off the widow.’”
