Two mon. total strangers to each other, were seated in a railway compartment. Presently one looked at the other for a few minutes, and then ciied in dismay: “I’ve dreaded this all my life! I always knew my hearing wasn’t good, but I never expected to go stone deaf.” "What's the trouble?” asked the other. “Well, you've been speaking to me for some time .and I haven’t heard one word.” “Speaking to you? I’m not —l’m just chewing gum.”
