TO RAISE A SMILE.

EASY. (Sent in by Muriel Arthur, r>s, Cromwell Road, Dominion Rond, age 14.) Highwayman's Victim (looking nervously down the barrel of a gun): 'Tlease be careful with that, it may go off." Highwayman: Don't worry about that, I can easily reload. ONE BETTER. (Sent In by Alena Johnson. Great South Road. Manurewa.) American: I say guy, I have a wireless set, and I heard my wife singing in Canada, and it is only a crystal set. Englishman: That's nothing, I heard my wife stirring her tea in China, and is only a tea-set. EXPLICIT. (Sent in by Muriel Arthur, 5.", Cromwell Road. Dominion Road, age 14.) A certain old dame had three lodgers and was troubled by them coming in late at night. One day after a particularly late home coming, she addressed them angrily. "You three are a fine pair, last night you didn't come home till three this morning. I've warned you half a-dozen times, and I won't warn you twice, if you are going to stay here and carry on like that, you had better leave at once." RIDDLES. (Sent In by Muriel Arthur, 55. Cromwell Hoad, Dominion Road, age 14.) What is it that every one could see, yet no eyes have ever looked upon?—A joke. What is that which we often return yet never borrow?— Thanks. Why does a fib resemble a wig?— Because it is falsehood. Why is a fly very tall*—Because it stands over six ieet.
