Jasper County Democrat, Volume 22, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 May 1919 — Generous Humorist [ARTICLE]

Generous Humorist

“You say you are out of work, eh?” said the humorist, eyeing the tramp narrowly. “Well, boss,” said the tramp, “I suppose some folks’ld put It that way; but, knowln’ my case as I do, to tell the honest truth, It ain’t so much me that’s out o’ work as it is that the work is out o’ me.” And the humorist, realizing that the joke was not less than $2, generously gave the honest fellow ten cents to relieve his Mfiimedlate necessities.
