Cadby : “ I’d like to marry Miss liiche 
on one account.” Fadby: “ Whatis that? ’ 
Cadby : “ Her bank account .”—Harvard 
Lampoon. 
He : ‘‘Do you think you could ever 
love a poet enough to marry him? ’ She : 
“ Well, I might, if he were very rich and 
promised to swear off.”— Life. 
Mistress : “ I hope you know how to 
clean a room thoroughly.” New Servant 
Girl: “ Indeed I do, ma’am. In the coun¬ 
try I used to clean out the cows’ stalls 
and they were a good deal dirtier than 
these rooms .”—FUegende Blaetter. 
A pretty young schoolma’am in Kla¬ 
math County, Or., puzzled the powers of 
pronunciation of her class recently with 
the word “husband,” chalked on the 
blackboard. To help them out she asked: 
“ What should I have if I should get mar¬ 
ried?” “Rabies, ma’am,” shouted the 
class in unison.— Argonaut. 
A recent Georgia cyclone cut some 
curious capers, according to reliable local 
papers. Among them it turned a negro 
woman’s pot inside out without other¬ 
wise injuring it, but the legs being now 
inside, “Mammy’’finds them inconvenient 
in handling the contents. Then it blew 
away the hoops and staves of a number 
of casks, leaving only the bung-holes, 
and it even changed the days of the 
week.”
