looking at. the various examination
papers, and came upon one marked 101
per cent.
“See here, Brother Jones.” he asked
the worthy who was conducting the
test, “what basis does yo’ base yo’ an -
swers on?”
“100 per cent,” advised the minister.
“But how does this man come to be
marked 101 per cent?”
“Oh, yo’ see, suh,” answered the
darky, “he answered one question we
didn’t ask!? —Judge._
Sam Watkins was seeking a permit
from a prohibition agent to buy wine.

“Fur sacreligious purposes, suh.”
“For sacrilegious purposes? You
mean sacramental purposes,”
“Dat’kit, suh. Au! the committee
has.done appointed me tub get it.’

and finally decided on gin.”
