WHAT SHE SAID.
Into tho office of the local news-, paper walked a cheery old gentleman.; Behind the counter sat a damsel, an attractive damsel, absorbed in a letter from the “boy” who escorted her to the “pictures” on Saturdays. The old gentleman coughed, but no notice was taken of him. Again he coughed—without result. So, tapping the counter gently, he politely asked.!
“May I have copies of your paper; for a week back?” Still the damsel continued reading.: The old gentleman grew angry. “May I have papers for a week back?” he repeated firmly. The damsel focussed two dark eyes upon him.
“Why not try the chemist’s shop next door?” she asked. “It’s a plaster you want.” And she resumed her reading.
