Overheard at a fashionable restaurant:--

_1st Guest._ I read in one of the Sunday papers that BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

discovered the Daylight Saving Bill by noticing that the sun shines

the moment it rises, and not several hours afterwards, as is popularly

supposed.

_2nd Guest._ How interesting! By the way, FRANKLIN'S body has never

been found since he discovered the North Pole.

_3rd Guest._ No, poor fellow, although STANLEY went in search of him.

_1st Guest (correcting)._ He found him right enough, but FRANKLIN

preferred to stop where he was. Rough on STANLEY.
