PASSING SHOTS
“Missionary in trouble with, cannibals!” reads a headline. _ln a stew, in fact. Stockings were invented in the eleventh century, but weren’t discovered until the twentieth. “I’ve knocked about the world a good deal,” said a witness recently. A golfer, evidently. “Some people sleep like logs,” says a doctor. Yes, with a circular saw going through them. “Life is cheap in Chicago,” says a traveller. A case of “here to-day—gun to-morrow.” Cheer up! Permanent peace is in sight. The statistics show that the World is spending more money for face powder gunpowder. The table-knife, as we know it, was not introduced until the 16tli century. It was no doubt about this time that the garden pea became a table delicacy. The difficulty with slowing down your motor-car in order to see the scenery lies in the fact that the passing cars will compel you to eat a considerable portion of it. The Governor of a Spanish prison has been charged with sending his prisoners home to their wives every evening. We understand that the prisoners have been complaining that this was not included in their sentences.
