MADE HIMSELF.
Henry Clews, our young bald-headed banker, boasts of being
a self-made man.
One day in conversation with Mr. Travers, Mr. C. remarked:
“Yes, sir, I am proud of being a self-made man—I am proud
of being the architect of my own fortune. I am—”
“W-what! y-you a self-m-made man, Mr. Clews? asked Mr. T.”
“Yes, sir, I made myself from almost nothing” replied the
banker standing promptly up to his full height.
“T-then while you were making yourself, Henry, why d-did'nt
you p-put a little m-m-more hair on the t-top of your head?”
Mr. Clews has since bought a wig.
