THE UNEMPLOYMENT SCANDAL.

[The evening papers have lately published some striking
incidents regarding the struggle for existence that is
undergone by certain gentlemen who are in receipt of the
Unemployment Allowance.]

"We are longing for work," said a young man who, after suffering the
horrors of war for nearly four years in the Ministry of Superfluous
Hotels and Hutments, has just been evacuated. "We have prepared a list
of billets that we are ready to take up at a moment's notice."

From this list I select a few of the more likely situations:--

1. Hot-cross-bun maker to the Jewish colony at White-chapel.

2. "Double-blank" man at a factory for putting spots on dominoes.

3. Muzzle-maker to the Master of the King's Buckhounds.

4. King of Albania.

5. Judge of the Bigamy Court at Salt Lake City.

6. Military Attaché to the Colonial Secretary to the German
Government.

7. Deputy-Assistant Torpedo-Lieutenant to the Swiss Navy.
