ALWAYS WITH HIM.
A merchant, while engaged in the office, discovered that he had left his pocket knife at home, but none of the clerks happened to have one. At length the office boy hustled in, and the merchant called him, asking whether he was able to produce the desired article. The office boy handed over his pocket knife. “How is it, Jimmy, that you alone of my entire staff seem to have a pocket knife with you?” said the merchant, eyeing Jimmy with undisguised admiration. “Don’t know, sir,” replied the youth, “unless it’s because my wages are so low I can’t afford more than one pair of trousers.” FORGOTTEN. Vicar (benevolently): And what is your name, my little man? Small Boy: Well, if that isn’t the limit! Why, you christened me!
