A Wearisome Subject

1895

Mr. Smallwort — Great heavens! This is too much. I have been hearing nothing at the office and all the way home on the car but the discussion of the money question, and now that I get home here you begin it again. Change the subject, and let me have a little variety. — Cincinnati Tribune.


A Daily Assistant.

Friend — Does your wife assist you any in your work? I often see her at your desk.
Humorist — Y-e-s, she goes over all I write and burns up all my jokes about wives. — New York Weekly.
