"KNIGHT NIGHT"

He, a Knight of the Open Road, was awakened from his blissful slumbers in a shed at Selby. Yorkshire. by a policeman's heavy hand. "You can't sleep 'ere/' said tho policeman brusqu-ly. "Well" replied the Knight, "what about my mate in there," indicating an adjoining shed. "Ump," said the policeman, diving into the sh'ed. "Ha," chuckled the Knight of the Road, slamming- the door, bolting It, and leaving the policeman a prisoner in the shed all night. Hitting the wrong Nail. Those who have done a little amateur carpentry will appreciate the following infallible remedy given by an experienced carpenter to an independent young settler's wife, who had often wielded the hammer. When asked how to avoid hitting the thumbnaii, th e carpenter assumed an air of mystery and said: "Well Ma'am, I have discovered the remedy but it is a trade secret." "Oh, do tell me,, please," pleaded the interested amateur. "I'll not give the information away." "Well," said the carpenter, sagely, "under that condition I will tell you. Always hold the hammer with both hands." ,
