A QUESTION OF RELATIONSHIP. “Look here, Binks,” said Jinks, "what I want to know te, who am I? A short time ago I proposed to a girl, who, however. said she would prefer to be excused. I therefore excused her, but a year later I married her mother. Then my troubles began. Soon after I married, my father married the girl who had’ refused me; in other words, my daughter. At least, up to that time she had been my daughter, but when she married my father she became my mother, of course. But this .is not the worst, as you will see when I tell you that ’by marrying my daughter my father naturally became my eon; it would seem . therefore that my father is my son, and my daughter is my mother; in which case I ask you again, who am I?” . “So far as I can make out,” replied Binks, “your mother’s mother —that is, vour wife —must be your grandmother, and therefore as you are your grandmothers husband, you appear to be your own grandfather. But, of course, I may be wrong.”
