Humorous Bits From City Desk and Country Life
A parade of lighthearted vignettes from street sweepers to landladies and newsboys. Jokes about Finnegan’s lamp post work, a dining room motto, overheard farm chatter, a Maine legislature peanut joke, Pat and a mock trashing threat, a New Orleans doctor and a colored minister, Carter's Iron Pills, and a ladies convention debate lead to a pun filled roundup of ordinary life and social quirks.
