Dear Reader:
While an artist has been engagedat a great expense to illustrate this volumeof funniness, I want it distinctly understoodthat the illustrations are purelyornamental and are not intended to bediagrams of or keys to the jokes.
Between you and me, any one ofthe jokes—if you like it—is worth eleventimes the price asked for the book. But,like the filigree work on a lemon meranguepie, the decoration may not make the pieany more palatable—but, it looks a wholelot better.
Confidentially yours,
JIGLETS

I got expenses all right, part of the time, and hadto employ one of Pinkerton'smen to look afterthe salary.
