THE CLEVELAND DRYER COMPANY, 
Pkastbaw :■ “ How is your niece look¬ 
ing these days?” Barnes: “Just the 
same as usual—for a man.”— Harper's 
Bazar. 
He : “I shall never marry until I meet 
a woman who is my direct opposite.” 
She (encouragingly) : “Well, Mr. Duffer, 
there are numbers of bright, intelligent 
girls right in this neighborhood.”— Art in 
Advertising. 
“ Abe you willing to invest money in 
my aerial navigation scheme ? ” he asked. 
“No.” “You can't deny it looks all right 
on paper.” “ That’s true ; but I don’t 
propose to get stuck on any fly paper.”— 
Washington Star. 
“ Have you any Gretna greens ?” in¬ 
quired the facetious customer with a 
basket on his arm. “ No, sir,” answered 
the grocer ; “ nearest I can come to ’em 
is parlor matches. Anybody waiting on 
you, ma’am ?”— Chicago Tribune. 
“ You understand, Betty,” said the 
mistress, “ that we are to move out of 
this house the first of next month ?” 
“ Yes’m,” answered Betty, “I’ve been 
sweepin’ all the dirt into the registers 
for the last three weeks, mum.”— Chicago 
Tribune. 
He (crossly) : “ Why do you always 
contradict me ?” She (humbly) : “I don’t 
want to, dear.” He : “ You do it just 
the same, and I don’t want it to occur 
again.” She: “ Yes, dear.” He (after 
some oversight) : “ Well, T think I’m 
the biggest fool in town.” She : “ Yes, 
dear.”— Life. 
“ Tommy,” said the visitor, “ have you 
read the books in your Sunday-school 
library ?” “ Some of them,” he replied, 
rather doubtfully. “ Can you tell me 
what happened to the boy who went 
fishiDg on Sunday ?” “ Yes. He caught 
three catfish and an eel.” “ How do you 
know that ?” “ ’Cos I was him.”— Wash¬ 
ington Star. 
Mbs. Hubbard : “ Y T es, everybody says 
my china set is just as pretty as it can 
he. But, to tell the truth, I’ve had it so 
long I’m actually sick and tired of it, 
although my husband says it is as good 
as ever it was. One gets so weary of 
seeing the same dis'jes year after year.” 
Mrs. Durden : “ Why don't you hire a 
girl ?”— Boston Transcript.
