THE CONSIDERATE GIRO. 
“ A kiss upon this valentine 
I press." he wrote to her. 
“ I’ve placed It underneath this line, 
I hope you won't demur.” 
“ I do not want the kiss you sent,” 
She answered, *• not at all! 
But just because It was well meant 
I'll keep It till you call.”— Life. 
The narrowness of woman's sphere 
Has been discussed of late 
But when she dons the hoop-skirt fad, 
Decked In the largest to bo had, 
Her sphere—the subject makes us mad— 
Will be live times as great. 
—Nebraska State Journal. 
A dozen yards without a flaw, 
He skated with great ease; 
Then sat down suddenly and saw 
A multitude of these: 
Then with much difficulty he 
Arose, and said meanwhile 
A host of words which you oft see 
Expressed In just this style: 
—Kansas City Journal- 
To harrow one’s feelings is Dot the 
most profitable way of cultivating an 
acquaintance. —Boston Transcript. 
Mabel: “I wouldn’t marry the best 
man alive.” Jack : “ Alas ! th t knocks 
me out.” —Little Pedlington Oheewitz. 
A little boy was asked what the 
Sunday school text was. He answered : 
“ Many are cold, but few are frozen.”— 
Newark Call. 
Inspector (at the penitentiary) : “I 
understand that measles broke out three 
days ago.” Warden: “Yes; but the 
guards caught them !”— Vermont Watch¬ 
man. 
Father : “ A hundred dollars for a suit 
of clothes ! I never paid that for a suit in 
my life.” Son: “ Well, you’ll have to 
begin now, father ; here’s the bill.”—
