ON THE INSTALMENT PLAN.
THE GREAT UNKNOWN.
Bobby had just finished a big day.. It was his ninth birthday and among the gifts was a nice, new, crisp 10s note. Uncle Fred, who was fond of his little joke, said: "Well, Bobby, .1 suppose you are going to buy a nice, new, shiny automobile with that money:" "Iso, sir! I am going to give it to dad so as to hilp him pay the next instalment on his!"
A young man, a guest at a dinner given recently, remarked to a man near him: "Beastly nuisance, isn't it? Spoke to that fellah over there —took him for a gentleman—and found he had a ribbon in his coat. The confounded head waiter, I Blip-, pose?" "Oh, no," replied the other. "That is the guest of the evening!" "Hang it all, is it?" said the other. "Look here, old chap—would you mind sitting next to me at dinner, and telling me who everyone is?" "I would do so with pleasure," was the reply, "but you see, I can't^rm the 'confounded' head waiter!"
