The irrepressible dude very early in life 
Falls in love with each maiden he sees. 
In fact, he no sooner getB down on his lip 
Than he’s apt to get down on his knees. 
—Brooklyn Life. 
Miss Elderly : “ What would you do 
if I should tell you my age ? ” He : 
“ Multiply it by two .”—Brooklyn Life. 
Canada has carried off nearly all the 
World’s Fair prizes for cheese. The vic¬ 
tory must have been a mite-y one.— 
Troy Press. 
Sue : “ Isn’t your father a very digni¬ 
fied man?” He: “Very. Why, he 
wouldn’t let me touch him for $100 dol¬ 
lars .”—Little PeddUngton Gheewitz. 
Belle: “I was supremely happy the 
day I was 16.” Blanche: “ No doubt. 
I’ve alwpys insisted that the last gener¬ 
ation enjoyed themselves much more 
than the present.”—New York Herald. 
The Wonders of Nature.—G ladys 
(from Wellesley): “Oh, Uncle Rufus, 
do look at those tadpoles in this pool; 
and to think that some day all those 
horrid wriggling things will he butter¬ 
flies ! "—Puck. 
Mr. Union Club : “ I never get relig¬ 
ious except at twilight, when I have 
time to sit before the fire and smoke.”

and tmoke make you dwell upon your 
future, dear .”—The Club. 
“ Do I make myself plain ? ” asked the 
angular lecturer on ‘ Woman’s Rights,’ 
stopping in the middle of her discourse. 
“ You don’t have to, mum,” replied a 
voice from the rear; “the Lord done it 
for you long ago.”— Vogue. 
“ But, my dear Bishop, why is it that 
you always address your congregation 
as ‘ brethren,’ and never mention the 
women in your sermons?” “ But, my 
dear madam, the one embraces the 
other.” “ Oh, but, Bishop, not in 
church. ”— Life. 
Mr. Chimpanzee: “That ostrich eats 
enough for two birds. What do you 
suppose makes him so greedy, Mrs. C.?” 
Mrs. Chimpanzee: “I heard the keeper 
say he swallowed a pair of strong eye¬ 
glasses yesterday and they mag lify his 
appetite. ”— Vogue. 
An Unkxkmplary Example.—W ife : 
“Why don’t you try to set your hoys a 
good example ? ” Hubby: “Ido.” Wife: 
“ You are not following in the footsteps 
of your good old father.” Hubby: “And 
that’s an example to my—hie—boys not 
to follow in mine. See ? ”— Life. 
Mary had a little lamb, 
Its flesh was pink and white; 
And with green peas—about this time— 
That lamb was out of sight.
