Once a year the newsboys of a certain district are taken for an outing up the Thames by a gentleman of the neighbourhood, where they can bathe to their heart's content. As one little boy was getting into the water a friend observed: ''Gee, Bill, ain't you dirty!" "Yes," replied Bill. "I missed the train last year." LIONISED As a tall young man entered the room he was greeted by many friends. "A popular young fellow, apparently," said a stranger to the man beside him. "Yes," was the reply, "he distinguished himself last week when the circus was here." "In what way?" "A lion escaped during a perform ance, and when everybody was yelling with fright and trying to get away, he walked calmly to the lion's cage and shut himself in."
