SMALL FEET.
There is an Englishman in Saratoga whose feet
are so large that he rests easier standing up than
lying down.

Mrs. Thompson says he objected to taking a walk
yesterday on the ground that it was so damp.
“What difference does that make?” I asked.
“Oh, his feet are so large that so much of him is
exposed to the damp earth that he takes cold.”
“But suppose he is compelled to go out very rainy
weather—what does he do?” I asked.
“Why, if he has to stay any great length of time,
he generally sits down on the grass and holds his
feet up!”
