PREMATURENESS
Ikey saw his friend Jakey in the smoking-car when he entered, and sat down in the same seat.
"How was that fire in your place last week, Jakey?" he inquired.
Jakey started nervously.
"Sh!" he whispered. "It vas next week."
PREPAREDNESS
The small boy was directed to soak his feet in salt water to toughen them. He considered the matter thoughtfully, and then remarked to himself:
"It's pretty near time for me to ket a lickin', I guess I'd better sit in it."
