Page 8 March 14, 1940 The Humorous Vein “Can you spell life in­surance with ten letters?” asked Brown. “Sure—that’s an easy puzzle,” answered Jones. “P-r-o-t-e-c-t-i-o-n.” DANGEROUS Judge: “You are charged with throwing your mother­­in-law out of the window.” Prisoner: “I done it without thinking, sir.” Judge: “Yes, but don’t you see how dangerous it might have been for any one passing by any time?” Income taxes could be a lot worse. Suppose we had to pay on what we think we’re worth. PERSISTENCY WINS There used to appear in the catalogue of a mail order house a picture of a pair of corduroy trousers. Year after year the pic­ture appeared, together with the description of the pants and the price $3.00. In the 25 th year of the ad the company received this letter: “Dear Friend: The more I been seeing them cor­duroy breeches, the more I got to wantin’ them. If you ain’t sold them yet, let me know, and I will buy them. Yours trully, Si Higginbotham.” REMEMBER? Dad—It’s awful how close these young people sit in rumble seats. Wife—Yes, I remember how you used to hate the old hammock because it had such a wicked way of pushing us so close together. TREATMENT AND MEALS The woman sitting in the specialist’s waiting room was portly. When the doctor entered he threw - up his hands in horrow. “My good woman?” he exclaimed, “you are stouter than ever! Have you been following the treatment I prescribed?” “Yes, I eat nothing more, except my ordinary meals.” LATE MODEL “I won’t get married until I find a girl like the one that grandpa married." “Huh! They don’t have women like that today.” “That’s funny! Grandpa only married her yester­day.” New Typist (following rapid-fire dictation): “I beg your pardon, Mr. Swivel, what did you say between— “Dear Sir” and “Sincerely Yours”?” WHY NOT? The henpecked-appearing gentleman was gazing rap­turously at a huge oil painting of a shapely girl dressed in only a few strategically arranged leaves. The title of the picture was ‘“Spring.” Suddenly the voice of his wife snapped: “Well, what are you waiting for? Au­tumn?”’ NO WONDER “And at her request you gave up drinking?” “Yes.” “And you stopped smok­ing, for the same reason?” “I did.” “And it was for her that you gave up dancing, card parties and billiards?” “Absolutely.” “Then why didn’t you marry her?” “Well, after all this re­forming I realized I could do better.”------------------o-----------------­BRANCH 361 REPORTS ON CARD PARTY We are glad to announce the success of our card party held on the evening of February 18th.

Verhovayak Lapja TO JOSEPHINE I walk through empty chambers of my heart And do not weep, but lonely walk apart Touching the things that you have left behind. Flowers in a vase — and on the floor I find The ribbon that was woven in your hair. The joys we had, the happiness to share Are all still here, awaiting your return. Dear Heart! Give me the love for which I yearn, Let not my lonely spirit wait too long; Renew my soul with music and with song; Here is the couch, the fireplace and the chair; The music and the books, priceless and rare. The dancing flames leaped up the chimney wide The smoke rose up. Often we looked outside On wintry mornings with our hearts aglow We stared and wondered at a world of snow. And now the empty house is left to me In every room it is your face I see. f Only at night, only in dreamy sleep I hold you in my arms, but waking weep Yet keep the faith that you will come to me Over the mountains and across the sea!

Help make 430 one of the finest branches in the v’er­­fiovay Family. THE SPHINX Ps.rblicity Agent of 430 When a man ain’t got a cent, and he’s feeling kind of blue An’ the clouds hang dark and heavy, an’ won’t let the sunshine through, It’s a great thing, O my brethren, for a feller just to lay His hand upon your shoulder in a friendly sort o’ way! • It makes a man feel curious; it makes the teardrops start; An’ you sorto’ feel a flutter in the region of your heart. You can look up and meet his eyes; you don't know what to say When his hand is on your shoulder in a friendly sort o’ way. Oh, the world’s a curious compound, with its honey and its gall, With its cares and bitter crosses, but a good world after all; An’ a good God must have made it— leastways, that is what I say, When a hand is on my shoulder in a friendly sort o’ way.
