Teddy Didn't See It,
Teddy Vanderchump came down to
the elub the other night with a great
problem weighing on his mind.
fug up to the boys, he sald:
“If 1 stand on my bead, the blood all
fushes to my head, doesn’t it?”
No one ventured to contradict him.
“Now,” he centinued triumphantly,
“when I stand on my feet why don't
the blood all rush Into my feet?”
“Because,” replied Hostetter McGin-
nis, “your feet are not empty.’
The boys all laughed, but Vander
chump sald he didn't see any joke.

There was a little dinner once given
to Wiliam Marconi, of which one incl-

| guests. An oratorical member of the
company, growing enthusiastic over a
toast to the Inventor of wireless teleg-
