A False Accusation.— She: “ The price 
of the berries is as high as the bottom of 
the box.” Vender (earnestly): “ ’Deed 
they ain’t, lady, ’deed they ain’t.”— Life. 
Her Chief Concern.— She: “Jack, 
that man is staring at me dreadfully.” 
He: “ Shall I go over and thrash him f” 
She: “No: but do tell me if I look all 
right.”— Brooklyn Life. 
Tired Nature’s Sweet Restorer.— 
Visitor : “ Good morning, Lehman 1 How 
is your sore foot ?” Lehman (whispering) : 
“ Coming out all right, thanks; but speak 
softly. It’s asleep now .’’—Puck. 
What’s In a Name ?—"Well, Bub, what 
is it ?” “ Pop told me to stop and ask 
how high you charge er bag for turkey 
corn ; he hern you keep’t: ’spose its sum- 
thin’ fine for turkeys.”— Pharmaceutical 
Era. 
Inspecting The Portrait.— Maude: 
" Wei), mamma, how do you like it ? 
Does it look like me ?” Mamma: "Humph! 
The face is good enough; but no one would 
ever think that dress cost your dear papa 
$3,000.”— Puck. 
Doesn’t Mention It.— “It’s strange 
how marriage changes a man. You recol¬ 
lect how Mildly was always complaining 
of his deafness before his marriage ?” 
“Yes.” "I notice now he never seems to 
think it’s an affliction at all.”— Philadel¬ 
phia Times. 
Setting an Example.—"You young 
scoundrel!” said the father, seizing his dis¬ 
obedient son by the neck, “ I’ll show you 
how you ought to treat your mother ! ” 
And he gave him several bangs on the ears, 
and then shook him till his hair began to 
fall out. - Vermont Watchman. 
" I say, Bill,” said one summer philoso¬ 
pher to another as they lay beneath a 
spreading tree, “ did yer ever turn yer at- 
tentin to literatoor any?” “I should say 
so.” " What’s the longest sentence you 
ever run across?” " Ten years,” was the 
unhesitating reply.— Washington Post. 
Bilgewater’s Fatal Error.— Weary 
Raggles: “ What has become of our old 
friend, the Juke of Bilgewater ?” Dreary 
Draggles: " He was drowned while gather¬ 
ing pond lily buds.” Weary Raggles : 
" What did he want of pond-lily buds ?” 
Dreary Draggles: " He mistook ’em for 
hard-boiled eggs ."—Once a Week. 
"Such men as you,” said the good phil¬ 
anthropist, sadly, "are the raw material 
out of which the rumseller builds his for¬ 
tune.” “The raw material 1 ” answered 
the dilapidated old bummer, shaking his 
fist at the saloon down whose front steps 
he had just been kicked; “ no, shir ! I’m— 
I’m the finished output, shir ! ”— Chicago 
Tribune. 
Vender of Patent Medicines: “Have 
you had many contagious diseases in your 
family, ma’am ? ” Lady of the House: 
“ Oh, yes ; no end of ’em. We’ve had the 
scarlet fever and the measles, and the 
chickenpox, and the typhoid fever and the 
relapse—well, I guess we’ve had everything 
but the convalescence.” Vender of Patent 
Medicines: “ I have an excellent preven¬ 
tive for that.”— Pharmaceutical Era.
