LAST RESORT
Anybody who, a stranger, has tried to find his way about Boston will understand the experience of Mr. Hubb, a native who was addressed by his friend Mr. Penn, from Philadelphia.
"They say," remarked Mr. Penn, "the streets in Boston are frightfully crooked."
"They are," replied Mr. Hubb. "Why, do you know, when I first went there
I could hardly find my way around."
"That must be embarrassing."
"It is. The first week I was there I wanted to get rid of an old cat we had, and my wife got me to take it to the river a mile away."
"And you lost the cat all right?"
"Lost nothing! I never would have found my way home if I hadn't followed the cat!"
LOOKED THAT WAY
Doris was radiant over a recent addition to the family, and rushed out of the house to tell the news to a passing neighbor.
