Two of the little town's most disreputable characters met in the early morning and became embroiled in an uproarious fracas, which awakened half the village and landed the two contenders in the calaboose. The chief witness against them when they came to trial was Uncle Wash, a noid Negro handyman. "Now, Uncle," said the prosecutor, "tell the court what conversation occurred between the two prisoners." "Ah doan just rightfully remember," replied the old man, "'cept dat each one was callin' de other whut dey wuz."

YOUNG CRITIC

The young playwright was complaining to the famous producer that his three-year-old son had torn up the manuscript of his newest play. "Ah," mused the producer, "the child can read."

EXPERIENCED

Smith was watching the local hockey team getting ready. At the last minute it was found that the referee was missing. "I say," shouted one of the players to Smith, "do you know enough about hockey to referee?" "I know enough about hockey," replied Smith, "not to referee!"

LITTLE MISTAKE

Dad wrote to his son at college: "I'm sending you the $10 in addition to your regular allowance as you requested in your last letter, but I must again draw attention to your incorrect spelling: '10' is written with one naught, not two."

WELCOME THREAT

An Italian shopkeeper received a blank hand letter, reading: "Leave $500 in a cigar box at back door before Sunday night or we will steal your wife." He placed a cigar box at his back door containing a note which stated: "No gotta $500 but I lika your propasish."

ONLY WAY OUT

Some political situations that often seem unexplainable are solved in the light of the following episode: Two farmers had been at "outs" for 20 years. One of them drove over to the line fence one day where he accosted his old enemy neighbor with a husky, "Mawin', Jeff." "What you speakin' to me fer, after these 20 years?" asked the surprised and suspicious enemy. "I'm jest here t' tell you that I'b runnin' for the legistater, and I don't want you ner none of yourn a votin' fer me." "Now lookee here," demanded neighbor Jeff, "me an' my kin's been votin' this ticket since grandpoppy came to these hills, an' you don't want us a votin' for you you just git off th' ticket!"
