The world is old, yet likes to laugh ;
New jokes are hard to find ;
A whole new editorial staff
Can’t tickle every time.
So if you meet some ancient joke
Decked out in modern guise,
Don’t frown and call the thing a fake ,
Just laugh ; don’t be too wise. —Tiger.

The girl, the parlor lamp and he ;
Two is company, and no doubt
That is the reason thelamp wentout.— Ex.
