Had All Been Going Some.

A city man recently visited his country cousin.” The man from the city, wishing to explain the metropolitan life, said: ‘‘We have certainly been having some fun the last few days. Thursday we autoed to the country club, golfed until dark, then trolled back to town and danced until morning.” The country cousin was not to be stumped in the least, so began telling some of the pleasures of the simple life: “We have had pretty good times here, too. One day we buggied out to Uncle Ned’s and went out in the back lot, where we baseballed all that afternoon; in the evening' we sneaked up into the attic and pokered until morning.” A sturdy old farmer who was listening, not to be outdone, took up the conversation at this point and said: “1 was having some fun about this time myself. 1 muled to the cornfield and geehawed until sundown. Then 1 slippered until dark, and piped until 9 o'clock, after which 1 bedsteaded until it was time to go muling again.’ Exchange.
