The following questions were reported to have been put to applicants for a job: “How long is a piece of string ?” And “How far can a dog run into the woods ?’’ From one bright youth they received as answers : “A piece of string is twice as long as the distance from the centre to either end,” and “A. dog can only run half-wa.y into the woods; after that he’s running out of the woods.” It is told of Rudolph G. Spreckles that he once registered at a California hotel. When the clerk saw the signature he said;: “Mr Spreckles, you will want the Rise Suite, I. am sure.”—“Oh, no, I’ll take something less expensive.”—“But, Mr Spreckles, your son always occupies the Rose Suite when he stops here.”“My son,” replied Mr Speckles, “has a rich father. I am not 'so fortun- , ate.”
