" I suppose you swore eternal constancy 

 to Fred? " " No, I told him the length of 

 our engagement depended largely on him- 

 self." " In what way? " " I told him if he 

 hustled around and fought vigorously, and 

 shortened the war, I would wait for him. 

 But I couldn't stand a long struggle." — 

 Cleveland Plain-Dealer. 



" It is sad," murmured the musing theo- 

 rizer, " to think that, as a great statesman 

 once said, ' every man has his price.' ' 



"* Yes," admitted the intensely practical 

 worker, " and it is a sad fact that half the 

 time he can't get it." — Tid Bits. 



Little Freddie — " What is horse sense? " 



Papa — " Well, it's pretty hard to explain, 



but just watch the scorchers, and you'll get 



a good idea of what people who haven't any 



look like." — Chicago News. 



Lady — " Why don't you hunt for work? " 

 Tired Tatters — " Why, it's dis way, lady — 



I kin never git ernough money together 



ter buy a huntin' suit." — Puck. 



Carrie — " Would you advise me to marry 

 the first man that proposes?" Bessie — 

 " By all means. Don't wait that long if 

 you can help it." — Truth.
