Just a Little Smile

Mistake. 'An impetuous inspector who was visiting a provincial school was much worried by the noise of the scholars in the next room. At length, unable to bear the uproar any longer, he opened the door and burst upon the class. Seeing one boy taller than the others ' talking a great deal, he caught him by the collar, hustled him to the next room, and placed him in a chair, saying: “Now sit there and be quiet!” Ten minutes later a .small head appeared round the door and a meek little voice said: w “Please, sir, you’ve got our teacher!” Thorough Anyhow. Fair One— l hear your sister gave up manicuring to be a carpenter engaged in war wonk. The Kid—Yes, but she was so slow they fired her. Fair One—You don’t say? The Kid —She thought she had her old job and tried to manicure every nail. Bright Prospects. “An optimistic young man asked me the other day for permission to marry my daughter,” said Mr. Grabcoin. • “Yes?” ' “When I told him she spent ten thousand dollars a on clothes alone, he said he figured that her trousseau would last until he could work up to a salary of twelve or fifteen thousand dollars a year.” Place your “ Want Ad” in The Democrat and get results. /
