CHUCKLES
From the bedroom of the twins came the mingled sounds of loud weeping and hearty laughter. "What's the matter up I there?" said father. The joyous twin indicated his brother. ''Nothing," he chuckled, "only nurse has given Tommy two baths and I haven't had any!" A new' and untried fireman was serving at his first blaze, and the chief, rushing up to him. shouted: "Climb up the ladder to the eighth floor, crawl along the cornice to the fourth window, drop down three floors, and catch that wooden sign you see smouldering; swing yourself along the second window, break the glass and go in and see if there's anyone there —well, what are you waiting for? "Pen and ink." said the new man. "I want to put in mv resignation." —From Beverley Rean, Ohakune (12).
