If the bottle of milk which is found reposing in its usual place this morning has a bitter taste, don’t think that it is due to the fact that the cow’s disposition has soured. More than likely the neighbor’s boy has remembered that it is April 1st, or All Fool’s Day, and has slipped quinine in the container.
Or if the telephone rings and one is requested to step over next door and ask Mrs. Brown to come to the telephone and when she answers, the party at the other end says “April Fool,” don’t get excited.
Today it will be remembered is the day for the practical joker to be in his glory and those who fail to be a victim of his pranks will well consider themselves fortunate.
