HARD TO PLEASE.
“Whatever’s the matter with the little fellow, my lad ?” said a lady to the elder of two boys. “He’s crying because I'm eating my cake and won’t give him any.” “Well, didn’t he have a cake also?” “Yes’m, and he cried while I was eatin’ that too!”
Mrs. Henpeck: “On the 25th of the month we will celebrate our silver wedding. Don’t you think we ought to kill the fatted calf, and ask in the neighbours ?” Mr. Henpeck: “Kill the calf? I don’t see how the unfortunate animal is to blame for what happened twenty-five years ago.”
