“I know what that is. doddv!” she exclaimed, pointing at the wheelbarrow. “You do. my dear?” remarked her father, much gratified that his wheelbarrow could be recognised as such. “Yes.” continued Jill triumphantly; “it’s a picture of a frog eating!”
Young Lawyer (having passed his examinations): “Well. I’m glad it’s over. I’ve been working to death the last few years trying to complete my legal education.”
Old Lawyei : “ Cheer up, my boy; it’ll be a long time before yon have any more work to do.”
“Now Uiat 'yonr engagement-is broken. are you going to make her return all your love-letters ” “You bet Tam. I worked hard thinking out those letters. They’re worth using again.”
