WHERE THEY DIFFERED!

A splash and a scream disturbed tht peace of the park. The people around the lake saw, to their horror, a man disappear beneath the surface.

Rapidly one of the onlookers stripped off his coat and dived in after the drowning one. The victim rose for the third time as the hero approached him. "Don't rescue me!" he spluttered. "I'm committing suicide. I don't want to live."

But the other refused to turn back. "I'm sorry," he said. "You'll have to postpone it until another day. I'm dead keen on winning a life-saving medal."

"Please, have you seen a lady without a little boy with her?" the tearful child asked the policeman . . . "because I'm the little boy!"

Client: "You have an item in your bill, 'Advice, November 1, six-and-eightpence.' That was a day before I retained you."

Lawyer: "I know. But don't you remember on the Ist I told you you'd better let me take the case for you?"

"Yes." "Well, my dear sir, that was the advice."

"What makes Roberts so economical these days?"

"Someone gave him a pair of goggles, and now he's saving up for a motor-cycle."
