UNFAIR DISTRIBUTION

Seth and Hannah were Quakers. They had been "keeping company" for several months, and Seth was getting impatient to know whether Hannah loved him or not, so one day he said to Hannah: "Hannah, dost thou love me?" And Hannah replied: "Why, Seth, you know we are commanded to love one another." "Yes, Hannah, I know, but dost thou feel what the world calls love?" And Hannah's answer was: "I hardly know what to tell thee, Seth. I have tried to bestow my love upon all, but I have sometimes thought that perhaps thou wast getting more than thy share."

EASY TO SPOT

A flustered woman, her arms full of packages, approached the department store floorwalker. "Oh, dear," she said in an anguished tone, "I'm looking for my husband. I was to have met him here two hours ago. I wonder if you have seen him?" "Possibly I have, madam," he replied. "Is there any distinguishing characteristics about him by which I could identify him?" A frightened expression came over the woman's face. "He's," she replied hesitantly, "I imagine he's purple by now."

OR UNREFINED

The travelogue of the Hawaiian Islands, resplendent in technicolor, was very beautiful, and the voice of the commentator soft and soothing. A scene showing a great sugar cane field flashed on the screen. From the loudspeaker came the comment: "It takes 18 months for the sugar to grow to maturity." And as an afterthought came the added aside: "That's a long time to wait for your sugar." "Yeah," rejoined a voice from the back row, "but who wants his sugar immature."

NOT HIS FAULT

At the public library, a small boy presented a well-worn, dirty volume at the return desk. The librarian glanced at the book, leaned forward to take in the size of the boy, and then remarked, "This is rather technical, isn't it?" Planting his feet firmly on the floor, the boy, half defiant, half apologetic, said, "It was that way when I got it."

UNFAIR TO DOBBIN

Foreman-So you want to quit us. Don't the wages suit you? Pat-The wages are all right, but, I feel guilty for cheating a horse out of a job.

RATES TOO HIGH?

When the teacher inquired of her class the cause of the Revolutionary war, little Jimmie volunteered: "It had something to do with automobiles." "Oh, no, Jimmie!" protested the astonished instructor "That was in the days long before the automobile." "Well," rejoined Jimmie, they said it was on account of unjust taxis "

MONEY SOLVES EVERYTHING

"Yes," said Henderson, "for a while after our marriage we were nearly eaten out of house and home by visiting relatives and friends." "How did you stop it?" asked a friend. "It was quite simple," laughed Henderson, "I loaned money to the poor visitors and borrowed from the rich, and I haven't been troubled with a visit from either since."

THE NEW ORDER

The other day in Hollywood a cop spotted a car on the sidewalk in front of a movie studio. "Let's see your license," snarled the officer. "You know you can't park here." "Who's parking?" replied the fellow in the car, "I'm picketing!"
