Q. If a bear went into a drygoods store, what would he want?
A. Muzzlin’.
Q. Why is a new-born baby like a storm?
A. Because it begins with a squall.
Q. What is a good definition of nonsense?
A. Bolting a door with a boiled carrot.

have a bunch of fun with your own girl, or some other fellow’s girl, you
should send for this book at once. By prepaid mail for 15 cents.
