Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 55, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 March 1920 — “Hit” Not on the Program. [ARTICLE]

“Hit” Not on the Program.

Mary was on the church program for a recitation. She was to hold an envelope containing a penny in her hand and tell what the money was going to do. She got started all right: “I got an envelope in my hand.” Then she held up the envelope and continued: •There’s penny in it. Oh! there’s no penny in there. I forgot to put the penny in.” ' Then the little miss stopped and fished around in her pocket until she . could find the penny and no amount of urging on the part of her teacher could induce Mary to proceed until that penny was in the envelope. The audience roared and incident was the hit of the evening. - ■
