A priest who was on his way home from 

 a dying parishioner's bedside one morning 

 found another parishioner lying in the ditch 

 by the roadside. 



"Why, Pat, where have you been to get 

 in such a state?" he asked. 



"I don't rightly remember, your rever- 

 ence, whether it was a weddin' or a funeral ; 

 but whichever it was, it was a grand suc- 

 cess." — Exchange.

A lecturer on "The Decadence of Pure 

 English," gave his address before a woman's 

 club. 



At the close of the talk, an overdressed 

 woman of the "fuss and feathers" type came 

 up to him and said: "I did enjoy your 

 talk ever and ever so much, and I agree 

 with you that the English language is de- 

 cading awfully. Hardly no one talks proper 

 nowadays, and the land only knows what 

 the next generation will talk like if nothing 

 ain't done about it." — Kansas City Inde- 

 pendent. 



"Where is the Captain, Miss Bruce?" 

 asked a gentleman passenger of a young 

 lady. 



"He went to see " 



"Of course, he did, a captain always goes 

 to sea," he interjected. 



"Well, I mean he skipped ashore " 



"Oh, no, a skipper generally skips to sea." 



"I mean the captain ran ashore to 

 see " 



He laughed and she sailed away. — Wash- 

 ington Post. 



Willie — I met our new minister on my 

 way to Sunday school, mamma, and he 

 asked me if I ever played marbles on Sun- 

 day. 



Mother — H 'm ! What did you say to 

 that ? 



Willie — I said : "Get thee behind me, 

 Satan !" and walked right off and left 

 him. — London Tit-Bits. 



"Oh, that my son should wish to marry 

 an actress !" shrieked the proud patrician 

 mother. 



"Now, ma, don't take on so," beseeched 

 the undutiful heir, "she ain't really an ac- 

 tress ; she only thinks she is." — Pittsburg 

 Post. 



Recreation is indeed a friend. Every 

 number is like a trip to the woods, and I 

 am lost to everything else until I have 

 finished every page.
