“ Papa says Mr. Blanque is a very prom¬ 
ising young man.” Her sister: “He is, 
indeed; he’s engaged to six girl?.”— Life. 
Teacher : “ What can you tell me about 
Julius Caesar ?” Pupil: “ He wrote books 
for the lowerformsin classics.”— Familien- 
blatt. 
Couldn’t Fool Him. — “ Them’s not 
tematies,” said Johnny, when the tomato- 
patch was shown him. “ Tematies gwows 
in big, yed cans.”—Judge. 
It is so perplexing to be told that a mar¬ 
ried man has been released from his suffer¬ 
ings at last—you can never tell whether it 
is the man himself who has died, or his 
v/lte.—Fremdenblatt. 
THE COST IS THE SAME! 
Costs no more than an ordinary clumsy Wood Picket affair that obstructs the view and will rot or fall apart In 
asho t time. The “ Hartman ” Fence Is artistic in design, prolects the grounds without concealing them, and 
is practically everlasting. Illustrated Catalogue with Prices and Testimonials Mailed Free.

He Might Easily have Missed.— She : 
“ Did you hear about young Tompkyns ? ” 
He: “No. What?” She: “Took up a 
pistol and blew his brains out last night I ” 
He: “Must have been a mighty good shot.” 
-Life. 
She: “Would you believe it? —that 
vicious little Mrs. Weston has taught her 
baby to call its father ‘ grandpa.’ ” He : 
“ What did she do that for ? ” She : “ So 
that Weston shan’t forget that he is old 
enough to be her father.”— Life. 
Fresh Country Milk.— One of the Eng 
lish Bishops, according to the London Tele¬ 
graph, told the following story a few weeks 
ago. He had gone into the country to visit 
a charitable institution to which poor lads 
had been drafted from the lowest London 
slums, and he congratulated them on the 
delights of their new residence. The boys 
looked unaccountably gloomy and down¬ 
cast, and the Bishop kindly asked : “ Are 
you not comfortable ? Have you any com¬ 
plaints to make ? ” At last the leader 
raised his hand: “The milk, my lord.” 
“ Why, what on earth do you mean ? The 
milk here is tenfold better than ever you 
had in London.” “No, indeed, it ain’t,” 
cried the boy. “ In London they always 
buy our milk out of a nice, clean shop, and 
here—why, here they squeeze it out of a 
beastly cow 1 ”
