CHESTNUTS. 



" Wheel riding, they say', impairs danc- 

 ing ability." 



"That's not so; I got a bicycle, and it 

 has kept me hopping to pay for it." 



" Highgear and his wife are to re- 

 marry." 



"What brought them together again?" 

 " They met accidentally, somewhere, and 

 discovered that they rode the same make 

 of wheel." 



" Elizabeth seems to have gone heart and 

 soul into this bird-protective movement." 



"Yes; and now she is getting up an 

 organization to oppose the slaughtering of 

 those cunning little billy-goats, to make 

 our kid gloves." 



" New York has its own theory about 

 the air ship." 



"What is it?" 



" They say that bright light is some last 

 year's Philadelphia sunsets just getting in." 



" Play helps work," the savant writes — 

 'Tis a false tip he indites: 

 If we do not work — I say — 

 How get cash to pay for play? 



" Did you read about that man who 

 traded his wife for a shot gun? " 



" Yes — lots of men do that; but you 

 don't see many items about men trading 

 their shot guns for wives." 



"Jimmy, what is a planked shad? " 

 "I dunno; mebbe they has ter hit 'em 

 with a plank to ketch 'em."
