What strikes me as the funniest 
Among some funny things, 
Is that the fallen argels 
Failed to use their wings.— Life. 
“Tommy, who was Joan of Arc ? ” asked 
the teacher. “ Noah’s wife,” said Tommy, 
who is great at guessing.— Harper's Bazar. 
Friend: .“Well, Tommy, now that 
you’ve started to school, what do you like 
best?” Tommy: “ Recess.”— Chicago 
Inter Ocean. 
Frank : “ Were you actually surprised, 
as you said, when I proposed ? ” May : 
“ Yes, indeed ; I really had all but given 
you up ! ”— Vogue. 
“ Do you suppose she rejected you 
because you were not rich enough ? ” 
“ Well, she gave me to understand I was 
a man of no interest and not much prin¬ 
ciple.”— Life. 
“Yes,” said a Washington girl, de¬ 
murely: “I know that Jack likes me 
very much.” “How?” “By the way 
he forgets his umbrella when he calls.” 
—Washington Star. 
Love, said the lecturer, “ is a psychic 
manifestation.” “Yes,” murmured a 
young man in the audience. “ I do the 
sighing and her folks do the kicking.”— 
Indianapolis Journal. 
Hicks: “Isn’t it strange that while 
my hair is getting gray, my mustache is 
not ? ” Mrs. Hicks : “ Oh, I don’t think 
so; your mustache is about 20 years 
younger, you know.”— New York Herald. 
Casher : “I hear that you lost a whole 
lot of money in one of those mushroom 
boom towns out West.” Rasher: “It 
wasn’t even a mushroom town. It was 
just plain toadstool.”— Indianapolis Jour¬ 
nal. 
City Boarder (at farmhouse): “Do 
you still use candles here?” Mr. Hay¬ 
seed: “ No, siree ! In the winter time 
we use a lamp—don’t need it in summer, 
you know. It’s bedtime before it gits 
dark.”— New York Weekly. 
A Suggestion: Uncle Si: “ Marthy, 
them cows is gone wanderin’ off ag’in, 
an’ I can’t find ’em nowhar. I do’ no 
what to do.” Marthy: “ Why don’t ye 
go down to th’ railroad people an’ ask 
’em to sell ye a secon -hand cow-ketcher?” 
— Harper's Weekly. 
“ The good are not always happy,” 
There can be no doubt of this, 
Because, you know, they must sorry grow. 
When they think of the fun they miss. -Life.
