Seven years ago to-day a friend of mine, 

 living in Trinity county, hung his vest on 

 the fence, in his barnyard. A calf came 

 and chewed up a part of the garment, in 

 which was his gold watch. 



Last week the animal, a staid old milk 

 cow, was butchered for beef, and the time- 

 piece was found, in such a position between 

 her lungs that the process of respiration 

 had kept the stemwinder wound up, and it 

 had lost but 4 minutes in the 7 years!

Maude — Oh, Ethel, and what did you say 

 to him when he proposed to you? Did you 

 say what you said you were going to the 

 other day? That was a noble speech, just 

 suited to crush the boldest man. And did 

 he slink away like a whipped dog? 



Ethel — Well, not exactly. You see, I 

 didn't say just that. I — I — well — er — well, 

 you see, I said " Yes." 



Mrs. Tracey — Do you realize, my dear, 

 that you have never done anything to save 

 your fellow men any suffering? 



Tracey — Didn't I marry you? — Spare 

 Moments.
