A  woman  won’t  believe  you  more  than  half  the  time. 
Not  her  father,  not  her  mother, 
Not  her  husband,  not  her  brother, 
And  she  half  suspects  the  parson  of  the  lying  crime. 
She  Is  up  to  snuff  like  blazes, 
So  the  fact  the  more  amazes, 
That  what  a  peddler  tells  her  Is  of  truth  the  most 
sublime.— Puck. 
Those  who  would  read  Nature’s  open 
book  in  meadow  and  woods  have  an  ex¬ 
tra  facility  at  present.  She  is  herself 
turning  the  leaves. — Philadelphia  Ledger, 
Maud:  “I  do  wish  that  good  clothes 
were  just  like  bad  habits.”  Stella :  “Oh, 
why,  dear?”  Maud:  “Because  then 
they  would  grow  on  us  and  save  so  much 
expense  and  worry.” 
Not  a  Question  of  Age. — “  All  the 
girls  wear  them.”  “Do  you  still  call 
yourself  a  girl?  ”  “  Why  not  ?  My  hus¬ 
band  is  still  one  of  the  boys,  though  my 
senior  by  20  years.” — Life. 
Weary  Wiggins:  ‘.‘I’ve  been  insulted.” 
Tired  Traddles  :  “Who  insulted  yer?” 
Weary  Wiggins:  “  That  mud-painted  old 
granger  over  there  offered  me  25  cents 
a  day  to  pose  for  a  scarecrow  in  his  corn 
patch.” 
“A  man  can’t  help  his  personal  ap¬ 
pearance,”  said  Rowne  de  Bout.  “He 
can’t  select  his  eyes  or  his  hair.”  “  No,” 
replied  Upson  Downes  thoughtfully,  “be 
is  lucky  if  he  can  pick  his  teeth.” — Ver¬ 
mont  Watchman. 
Onto  Him  at  Last. — Bombinski : 
“Whom  are  you  going  to  kill  next?” 
Redflagski:  “A  man  who  tyrannizes 
over  the  laboring  men.”  Bombinski: 
“  Another  capitalist,  eh  ?  ”  Redflagski : 
“  No — a  walking  delegate.” — Puck.
