-were sentenced to 60 days for, sell-
ing bad eggs. It seemed only justice
that they should have to bear the
yolk.

Wife: "You need a 1new starter 1
to get you up m the morning."
Hubby: "Not while I have a
, crank like you to get me going." t

Housekeeper:: ""1 ordered a dozen
eggs to -day, Mr. Tightfist, and you
only sent me, 11."
Grocer: "Well, ma'am, you see,
the twelfth, egg was bad, and I didn't
think you'd want it"
• .p
+
pay ine what you owe me,"
Owen Mutch: "Let's see, your
name is Zimmerman, isn't it? Sorry
old men, but I'm paying off all.my
creditors in alphabetical order;".
"Aro these eggs fresh?" asked the
customer,
"Yes," said the merchant, "the
farmer from whom I bought them
says that his hens don't lay any oth-
er kind," which is surely a hen-
couraging fact.
