NEW YORK TELEPHONE CO., 15 Day Street. A Sudden Change. WO commercial travelers, one from Lon- don and one from New York, were dis- cussing the weather in their respective coun tries. . The Englishman said that English weather had cne great fault—its sudden changes. “A person may take a walk one day,” said, “attired in a light summer suit, and stil! feel quite warm. Next day he needs an over coat.” “That's nothing,” said the American. “My two friends, Johnson and Jones, were o having an argument. There were cight or inches of snow on the ground. The arguny got heated, and Johnson picked up a snowhal! jand threw it at Jones from a distance of 1 more than five yards. During the transit o that snowball, believe me or not, as you like he weather changed and became hot and sum | merlike, and Jones, instead of being hit wit snowball, was—er—scalded with hot water! Exchange. Plea for the Simple Life. bs PEAKING of the woful waste of money we wish to interrupt the meeting long enough to give a few figures on an important matter that seems to have been entirely over looked,” says Homer Hoch. “We refer to the four buttons on the sleeves of men’s coats Now, there are probably 600,000 men in Kan sas, and they probably have on an average two coats apiece. That makes 1,200,000 ¢ and 4,800,000, or 400,000 dozen, st buttons. The buttons cost about 20 cents a dozen, and at that rate the men of Kansas alone are carry ing around on their coat sleeves in the form of buttons that have no use on earth or in the sky an investment of about $80,000. And the estimate is most conservative. Fellow coun- trymen, in the name of economy, and thrifi and philanthropy, and business sense, and all sorts of other things, is there no way to stop this reckless extravagance ?"—Kansas City Journal, An Unviolated Rule. CERTAIN club, the name of which need not be mentioned, has strict regulations against gambling. ‘A quartet of club members decided to break the rule by a game of poker for small stakes. so they adjourned to one of the small rooms and told an old servant to bring a pack of cards. When he brought them one of the members asks lohn, I suppose it would be something utterly new in this club if we were to do such a thing as play for money with these cards?” The negro scratched his head and deliber- ated, finally answering: “Boss, I’se been wiv dis club a long time, and I'se seen many things.” “Yes, but what have you seer “I'se seen ebry rule of dis club vi'lated "ceptin’ one.” “What is that one?” “De rule 'gainst gibbin’ tips to de servants.” —The American Spectator. comicbooks.com
