Taught Her A Lesson

The other day a very estimable lady came to town to do a little shopping, says the Atlanta Constitution. Of course the key was put under the doormat so that her son, whom she expected to return before her, could get in. In her absence a tramp, who had been hanging around the place a number of days and had caught on, boldiy went into the house, got some of the choicest vlands out of the pantry, put them on the table and pitched in. He also found a bottle of wine that revived his spirits. He did not expect any one there for a number of hours and so he took it easy. In the meantime the lady of the house having flnished her shopping returned home, and, seeing the front door unlocked, expected to flnd her son inside. Imagine her horror when she opened the dinlng-room door and saw sitting at her table the rustiest-looklng tramp that ever vied with his companions in accumulating dirt on his epidermis. The lady was dumbfounded. In the silence that followed the tramp eoolly remarked: "Madam, I shall become scarce now, ez I've eaten enuff. All I kin give yer back fep this good meal and wat I want ter say ter yer is that yer ought to flnd a new hidin' place fer yer key. I won't charge yer nothin' for this advice." With that the tramp departed. Asker (to nsiher who la returnln empty-handed from a flhing-trip)- What do you cali your dog? Fisher Fiat. Aaker- Why, that'i a fuiyiy ume for a dog. What made you glve It to him? Fisher- Becauae he won't Wte.
