The Rest ol the Rocd By

Don Blanding

If the rest of the road is half as good, ' As the half that went before, I'll swing along with a singing heart, And pray to the Lord for more.

I ease my bones at the Half-Way House, And turn my remembering gaze, From the twisting paths that my feet have sought, To the new untrodden waYs.

How long? How far? How hard? How fine?

How heavy or light the load?

ff it's half as good as the half I've known, flere's hail to the rest of the road.

Husband: "You mean you got it for an absurd figure'

"I'm gorry, but Mr. Jones can't see you'today. He has a sprained back."

"That's all right, girlie," said the salesman. "Tell him I don't want to wrestle with him; I only want to talk to him."

The other asked: "What was the trouble; too fancy?"

Th6 first said: "No. It was because there was one thing it called for in every recipe, that I never had none of. Every one began-'Take a clean dish'-and you know we ain't never had none of them."
