Taken at the Flood.

Noah was superintending the stowing away of the animals in the ark. “I don't want to get into trouble with the humane society,” he said, “but this live stock has got to stand a little closer together; that’s all thfcre is about that.” Keenly realizing, besides, that an ark shortage was worse than a car shortage, he thanked heaven that there was no interstate commerce commission to meddle with his transportation business, and proceeded to turn one of the two giraffes end for end to economize space.—Chicago Tribune.
