It is ng to say the least of it to have the Vancou-jppapers report and the radio announcers (even through CI PR sometimes) that there weather along this part of the coast when the skies are blue and clear and the sun is brightly. Prince Rupert people can be ex-, jf they become irked, after all these years of fr nialignment, at having our fine meteoro-jeonditions, so gloriously exemplified duriiig f February and so far along in March, con-1' ') and carelessly libelled.

E. MORTIMER 324 2nd Ave Vhoae 88 S miles n Needing a. new secretary, the firm's manager dccldctl to have applicants Judged by a psychologist. Tluec girls were interview-ed togeUier. 1 "What do two and two make?'' the psychologts't asked the first "Four," was the prompt an " swer. i To the same question the sec! ond girl replied:' "It might be ' J 22." . The third girl answered: "H might be 22 and it mlaht l? four." '; When the girls had left the room, the psychologist turned triumphantly to the manager. "There," he said, "that's whai psychology does. The first gin said the obvious thing. The sec-, ond smelled a rat. The third was going to have it both ways. Nowj which girl will you have?" The manager did not holtatw- 'I'll have the blonde with the blue eyes," he said. I "Hello, Bill. Why are you look ing so blue?" "Oh, my wife found out thai I'd been fooling around with m stenographer." "Gee, that's too bad." "Oh, that was nothing. Bum he' went and told . the . maid ibout it. Then there was. hell tq pay!" . ;. i "I'm a bit worried about Iny !Ch uckles wife," says Guy Middle ton. "She was talking in her sleep .and saying: 'No, Frank, no, Frank." "Well, what are you worryins aibout?" demands his friend. "She said Wo." didn't she?" Master (to new cook): "We want you to show what you can do tonight, Jane. We have some rather special people coming for a musical evening. Do your level best, you know." Cook: "Sure, sir, that I will. It's a long time since I did any singing, but you can put me down for a couple of comic songs, if you like." A pretty young lady who had a poodle dog in her lap was riding on a street car. A blue-nose sitting next to her remarked: "What a nasty little dog. Don't you think, young lady, it would iook nicer If you h.ad a little baby In your lap?" "No." the pretty, one replied in calm, even tones, "it wouldn't. You see, I'm not married." Humorous Man fin street car) : "Has anyone dropped a wad of notes with an clastic band round them?" Chorus of Voices: "Yes, I haver ' v'c "Well, I've ut& nicked up the; elastic band." - I had sworn to be a bachelor. She had sworn to. be a bride. But I guess yon know the answer. She had nature on het side. The manager beard that a $30Ja-week clerk had a car, and asked him how he could afford It, with four children. "Oh, that's easy," said the clerk. "There ara 500 of us employed at this factory. I raffle my wages every week at 25c a go." Bob: "Say, Pop, Iww soon will I be old enough to do just as I please, do you think?" Pop: "Son, nobody has ever lived that long!" Father: "Now, son, tell me why I punished you." , Son: "That does ltk First j(0U pound the life outa nic and now you don't know why you did it!" A tourir.s American go-getter noticed an old Indian chief loll-it.f; at the door of his wigwam sunowhero out West. "Chid," remonstrated the go-;elto!'. "whyittonkt you get a Job in ,i factory?" "Why?" grunted the chief. "Well; you. could earn a lot of money. Maybe thirty or forty dollars a week." "Why?" asked the chief. . "Oh, if you worked hard and saved your money, you'd soon have a bank account. Wouldn't you like that?" "Why?" asked the chief. "For heaven's sake!" shouted the exasperated go-getter. "With a big bank account you could retire, and then you wouldn't have to work any more . . ." "Not working now," pointed out the chief. "I'll teach that boy to tell liesl" "I wouldn't do it now, dear; wait aiui let him hear the ones you tell when you come In late tonight."
