"That's rather a handsome mantelpiece you have there, Mr. Binkston," said the visitor.
"Yes," replied Mr. Binkston, proudly. "That is a memorial to my wife."
"Why - I was not aware that Mrs. Binkston had passed away," said the visitor sympathetically.
"Oh no, indeed, she hasn't," smiled Mr. Binkston. "She is serving her thirtieth sojourn in jail. That mantelpiece is built of the bricks she was convicted of throwing."
