HIS WIFE DESCRIBED.
Mr. Biffin h*ad recently invested in a motor-bike, much to his wife's horror and his own joy. Mr. Biffin was one of those men who believe in doing things for themselves so he always made the repairs to his machine — which were necessary every time he took it out?
Like many others of his-kind, he thought it necessary to put on a dilapidated suit of clothes in which to work, so old and ragged that no selfrespecting mechanic would have been seen in them.
Thus it was'that one day when approaching- his house after an hour's work on his bike he was addressad by a tramp.
"Hop it, mat 6!" said the gentleman of the road.
"What d'yoii mean—hop it?" asked the offended Biffin.
"No good.goin' there, matey. I've
just tried the old girl and she's the >x stingiest, firiest old skinflint you ever came across!"
