Teacher  :  “  Hans,  name  three  beasts 
of  prey.”  Hans:  “Two  lions  and  a 
tiger.” — Harper' a  Yount/  Folks. 
Stranger  :  “  And  so  you  believe  in  Dr. 
Chloride’s  cure  for  drunkeness?”  Red- 
Nosed  Enthusiast :  “  Believe  in  it !  How 
can  I  help  believing  in  it  ?  I’ve  been 
cured  six  times.” — Life. 
“And  who  are  you  ?”  inquired  St. 
Peter.  “  I  was  a  rainmaker,”  said  the 
shade.  “  Inquire  at  the  first  door  below,” 
said  St.  Peter.  “  They  have  been  suffer¬ 
ing  from  a  drought  there  for  some  time.” 
— The  GhceuMzcr. 
Jaysmith:  “I’m  going  to  sue  the  Howler 
for  libel.  It  called  me  a  thief.”  Me  Watty: 
“  But  papers  are  allowed  to  print  the 
news,  you  know.”  Jaysmith:  “  But  that 
isn’t  news.”  McWatty:  “  True  enough. 
Everybody  knew  it  before.” — Judge. 
A  Prompt  Payer. — De  Binks  :  “One 
good  thing  about  Minks.  Although  he’s 
a  great  borrower  he  always  pays 
promptly.  He  was  in  only  a  few  mo¬ 
ments  ago  and  paid  me  the  $10  he  owed 
me.”  De  Winks:  “Humph!  He  was  into 
my  place  an  hour  ago  and  borrowed  $20 
of  me.” — New  York  Weekly.  i

“Good  Crops  or  Poor  Ones,”

Given  the  right  forms  of 
plant  food  at  the  right  time, 
in  the  right  proportion  and 
quantity  to  secure  perfect 
results,  all  other  conditions 
being  favorable,  the  farmer’s 
crops  should  be  good  ones.
