A Gentle Hint.

“A donkey stepped into a store and the proprietor approached the beast and asked: 'What are you doing here. You know this is no plaoe for a donkey,’ ‘I am here,’ said the donkey, ‘beoause I saw your advertisement on the fence which sui rounds my pasture. I know you, too, must be a donkey or you would place your advertisement in a paper, where it would be reacl by people, not donkeys. Being lonesome today I thought I would be neighborly and make a fraternal call.’ ” —Oklahoma Ex. -
