HIS PACKAGE
And What it Contained It Wasn't
Laundry The Heathen Grinned- ,
This is one on Ruthyn Turney.
He loves a violin, aud is a great
performer on that king of instru
ments. He went to the laundry
the other day. He believed the
package he carried was soiled linen
to be laundried. When he opened
it in the presence of the washee
man, the celestial grinned. So did
Ruthyn.
What thev both saw as the pack
age unrolled, was not soiled linen,
but Ruthyn' s fiddle box. "Ketcn
um wlong washee," said the heath
en. "Yes, ketchum wlong washee,"
replied Ruthvn. as they grinned
arain at each other over the riddle
box, on which the well known mu
sician carefullv adiusted the paper,
and then returned for his real
laundry.
