ANOTHER, POLITICAL LIBEL A party of politicians decided on a few days' picnic and to camp out overnight. Not being used to this kind of life, one of the members brought his brother along to do the cooking, etc. That night when the brother had completed the many tasks which fell to hi<3 lot, he glanced around the camp fire for a seat, but the other members were crowding it so close that he had perforce to take a seat outside the circle, where he shortly fell asleep. Awakened a little later the party asked him if he had slept well, and when lie replied in the negative they wished to know the reason. "Well," he replied, "I dreamed I died and went below." "Yes," they replied, "and what was it like' 2" "Just like this," he answered. "You couldn't get near the fire for politicians." The Newlyweds were dining out. In the middle of the meal a tall, slim young woman passed through the restaurant and smiled rather dangerously at Newlywed. "George," gasped his wife, "who was that woman?" And she watched the retreating figure with a suspicious frown. Her husband held up his hand in protest. ' "Darling,... for heaven's sake don't ask me who she is," he replied. "I shall have trouble enough explaining to her who you are, as it is."
