Interrupted the hireling. "I thought you had left town." "I've been away for awhile," the man explained. "Often wish that you fel lows inight get out of town for a vaca tion. Think it would benefit you in your work give you some fresh ideas. Now, this little quip that just occurred to me you can fix it up to suit your self. These little thoughts come to me right along, and I believe in passing them along. Of course, I never both ered myself to try to write I've had more important things to do but some day I think I'll" "What is the idea?" asks the shack led serf. "As I said. I'll give you the gist of It, and you can frame it up any way you like. It's like this: Suppose there's a feud between two deacons of a church over a matter of architec tural detail. One deacon wants the pews made of a certain wood, and the other wants the window sills made of another kind, and they get into a dis agreement over IL" "Well?" "And so, don't you sec, you can have a third party say that it impresses him as a pew-sill-animus proceeding." "Yes? Go on." "That's all there is all you need.

And the man walked out with a haughty tread which so impressed the office boy that he took his feet off the desk. Perfectly Natural. "What a splendid portrait of Miss Goonso!" we exclaim. "Is it done in oils? It is so lifelike." "Xo," answers her bosom friend. "It is lifelike because it is done in facial cream and a pastel of complex Ion powder." The Simple Life? "Ah." sighed the rabbit to the spring Iamb, "how I envy you! Yonder comes a poet who will write beautiful verses about you." "Yes?" murmured the lamb, prepar ing to skip swiftly over the hills, "but behind him there comes a butcher who is figuring on how high the price of Iamb chops ought to be." Every Little Help. "I think my oldest boy has the mak ing of a great humorist in him' says the man with the pickle nose. "That so?" asks the man with the onion eyes. "Yes. Why, say, he can spell a great deal worse than Josh Billings ever could." Hitched Up. "Miss Newgurl seems very giddy this evening. Is this her first large lance?"
