 ON THE HOG BACK IN THE GLOAMING. 



" My brother," asked the gentleman with 

 the seedy clothes, " are you a worker in the 

 vineyard? " 



" Nit," answered the gentleman who 

 looked like ready cash, " I find there is 

 more money in handling the finished prod- 

 uct." — Cincinnati Enquirer. 



Yabsley — You look as if you must have 

 had a good time last night. 



Mudge — I hope not. 



" You hope not? Why?" 



" Because, if I did, it was wasted. I don't 

 recollect a thing about it."— Indianapolis 

 Journal. 



First Farmer — That feller that buncoed 

 me has been arrested at last, an' the paper 

 says he's one of the shrewdest confidence 

 men in the country. 



Second Farmer — Don't do you much 

 good, does it? 



First Farmer — Well, it proves what I 

 alius said: — that it takes a putty wide-awake 

 chap to git around me. — Puck. 



Miss Typely (coquettishly) — Do you be- 

 lieve a pretty girl should work? 

 Brokerly — Well, that depends. 

 Miss Typely — Depends on what? 

 Brokerly — On whom she works.
