“ The inventor of the alphabet must 
have been a modest man,” said Hawkins. 
“ Why so ? ” asked Mawson. “ Because 
he began it w th A,” said Hawkins. 
“ Most men would have begun it with I.” 
—Harper’s Bazar. 
Hk (bitterly): “If I were rich you’d 
many me fast enough?” She: “Don’t 
George, don’t! Such devotion breaks my 
heart!” He: “What do you mean?” 
She : “ Often have you praised my beauty, 
but never before my common sense ! ”— 
Truth. 
Said One Shopper: “Oh, I saw just 
the loveliest, sweetest, prettiest baby a 
minute ago ” Said the other shopper : 
“ What ? Do you mean to tell me that 
stupid nurse has dared to bring my little 
darling out such a day as this ? ”— Reho-

McKell : “ I heard Dix’s wife talking 
to him the other night just as she does 
to her dog.” O’Kief : “ That’s interest¬

What did she say? ” McKell: “ She called 
him a dear little popsycumwopsy tootsey 
wootsey sugar-plum.”— Brooklyn Eagle.

“What in the world do you mean?” 
“ Oh, dear,” she moaned, as she clutched 
him frantically. “ A kitterpaller ! You 
know, George ! A patterkiller ! ” “ Oh ! ” 
said George, with evident relief, and he 
proceeded to brush the future butterfly 
away.— Life.
