A Remedy Against Bores. 



The mayor of a Western town hit upon 

 a novel scheme to rid himself of a bore 

 who had pestered him for some time. 



The mayor's doorkeeper was a good- 

 natured, obliging chap, and he could 

 never find it in his heart to turn the bore 

 awa}-. Just as sure as the mayor w^as in, 

 the bore was certain to be admitted. One 

 day the mayor determined to end the 

 persecution. So he said to his door- 

 keeper : 



"Henry, do you know why Smith con- 

 tinues to come here so regularly?" 



"No, sir, I can't say that I do." 



"Well, Henry, I don't mind telling you 

 in confidence that 'he's after your job." 



"From that day," says the mayor, "I 

 saw no more of the bore." — The Youth's 

 Companion. 



For a five-year-old, Margie had traveled 

 a great deal. One day her aunt remarked. 

 "Through all her travels Margie seems 

 quite happy and contented." "Yes'm" 

 answered Margie. "No matter where I 

 go I always find some dirt to play in." —
