MISUNDERSTOOD.
While a certain lady was feeding a hungry tramp the other day, she discovered that he was pocketing her silverware.
Seizing a poker, she exclaimed:
“Drop those spoons, you scoundrel, and leave the house; leave it instantly!”
“But, madame——”
“Leave the house, I say! Leave the house!” screamed the infuriated woman.
“I go, madame,” said the tramp, “never to return; but before I do, I would like to say that I did not intend to take your house.[Pg 54]”
