FERTILIZER FARMING 
THE MAPES MANURES. 
The suovr from the hills goes away with a rush, 
And forth come the robin and wren; 
The poet looks out for the lay of the thrush, 
The farmer for that of the hen.— Life. 
“ There's another unconscious humor¬ 
ist,” remarked the footpad, as he sand¬ 
bagged the punster. —Washington Star. 
“ O, silt, have you seen anything of my 
little boy and pet dog ? They have been 
lost for nearly an hour.” “ What did 
he have on, ma’am?” “A little red 
blanket with ‘Fido’ embroidered on each 
Bid ;, and a silver collar. ”—The Maternal 
Register. 
Daisy: “When I get big, like you, 
mamma, I’m going to marry a d;ctor or 
a minister.” Mamma: “Why, my dear?” 
Daisy : ‘ ‘ ’Cause if I marry a doctor I can 
get well for nothing, and if I marry a 
minister I can be good for nothing.”— 
Funny FoUts. 
Mamma, reprovingly, Sunday : “You 
told me you were going to play church.” 
Little Dick : “ Yes’m.” Mamma: “Then 
I’d like to know what all this loud laugh¬ 
ing is about?” Little Dick: “ O, that’s 
all right. That's Dot and me. We’re 
the choir.”— Good, News 
She’s an awful woman, the neighbors say, 
And keeps her husband on misery's brink. 
Tes, I saw her In a buggy to-day, 
When she actually drove a horse to drink.
