Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 November 1911 — His Sign Said So. [ARTICLE]

His Sign Said So.

One evening at 7 o’clock a man with a wife and 11 children, many of them grown up, appeared at the entrance to an entertainment hall, bought two tickets and Remanded that the entire family should be admitted. The doorkeeper declined to admit the family with two tickets only. "But all these are my children," said the man. “Of course,” said the doorkeeper; “but some of them are too old to be admitted free.’ 1 “Too old? What’s that to do with it? Don’t it say on your bills that children under 12 are admitted free with parents?” "Yes.” “Well, I’ve only got 11 children, and if 11 children aren’t under 12 I’m beat.” —Everybody’s Weekly.
