"Fine," answered the farmer. "She's behind there"—jerking his thumb toward the back of the wagon.
"She's not there!" exclaimed the astonished friend.
The old farmer turned and looked over his shoulder. Then he coolly replied:
"Humph! That accounts for the splash."
CAUTION
A small boy, who was sitting next to a very haughty woman in crowded car, kept sniffling in a most annoying way, until the woman could stand it no longer.
"Boy, have you got a handkerchief?" she demanded.
The small boy looked at her for a few seconds, and then in a dignified tone, came the answer.
"Yes, I 'ave, but I don't lend it to strangers."
