RIDDLES.
Why is an umbrella's life a hard one?— Because it is full of ups and clowns. Up and down, touching neither sky nor ground? —A pump handle. What kind of fish is most useful to the housemaid?—A little whiting. What is the most useful thing to carry in the desert? —A watch, because you can always find a spring in it. What grows less tired the more they work? —The wheels on a motor car. What is the best field in which to dance ?—A hop field. When are peas like soldiers? —When they are shelled. Harold Mancy, Epsom.
