The  physician  is  the  man  who  says 
you  need  change,  and  then  takes  all  you 
have  ?” — People’s  Leader. 
Tomson  :  “  Does  your  wife  open  your 
letters,  Johnson?”  Johnson:  “Never, 
unless  they  are  marked  private.” — Seattle 
Soundings. 
“  I  wish  I  was  twins,”  said  Willie. 
“  Why  ?”  “I’d  send  the  other  half  of  me 
to  school,  and  this  half  would  go  fish¬ 
ing.” — Harper' 8  Bazar. 
“I’ve  noticed  one  thing  in  regard  to 
children,”  said  Mr.  Shallow'.  “  In  all  the 
families  with  which  I  have  acquaintance 
the  first  son  is  invariably  a  boy.” — Ver- 
rrumt  Watchman. 
Bewildering. — Mother:  “  What  makes 
you  so  nervous,  Charley,  dear  ?”  Charley: 
“  I’ve  had  two  proposals  of  marriage,  and 
I  really  don’t  know'  whether  to  accept 
Clara  with  her  brains  or  Ethel  with  her 
money.  ” — Judge. 
“Hullo,”  said  Mr.  Suburbs,  as  he  en¬ 
tered  his  yard,  “  What  are  you  doing 
with  the  pruning  shears,  John?”  “  H’o, 
nothing,”  replied  the  new  English  gar¬ 
dener,  “  only  trimming  the  h’edges  of 
the  ’edges,  sir  !  ” — Columbus  Post. 
Mr.  Snaggle  (snappishly)  :  “Don’t  be 
correcting  that  boy  always,  Sarah.  Let 
Nature  take  its  course,  won’t  you?”  Mrs 
Snaggle  (laying  aside  the  shingle)  :  “  I’ll 
do  nothing  of  the  sort,  Mr.  Snaggle.  I 
don’t  intend  that  any  woman  shall  have 
such  a  husband  as  I’ve  got  if  I  can  pre¬ 
vent  it.” — Detroit  Free  Press. 
Fair  Visitor:  “  So  you  have  really  de¬ 
cided  not  to  sell  your  house  ?  ”  Fair 
Hostess:  “Yes.  You  see  we  placed  the  mat¬ 
ter  in  the  hands  of  a  real  estate  agent. 
After  reading  his  lovely  advertisement  of 
our  property,  neither  John  nor  myself 
could  think  of  parting  with  such  a  won¬ 
derful  and  perfect  home.” — Pittsburg  Bul¬ 
letin.
