November 11 
U k sat behind a towerln / hat. 
Hut no complaint did make; 
It wan In chuich, and aafe, he knew, 
A pleasant nap to take. 
—Chicago Inter-Ocean. 
“ The last thing Fred did was to kiss 
me.” “ I should think it would be ! ”— 
Life. 
After a short season in the blacksmith’s 
bands many a wagon wheel knows what 
it is to have that tired feeling.— Buffalo 
Courier. 
Small Hoy: “Papa, is it correct to 
say a widow lady?” Papa: “Well, I 
never heard of a widow gentleman.”— 
New York Journal. 
Tramp: “Madam, I was not always 
thus-.” Madam : “ No. It was your 
other arm you had in a sling this morn¬ 
ing.”— Detroit Tribune. 
Hk: “Don’t you find that you are 
affected by your surroundings ? ” She : 
“That depends upon whose arm encircles 
my waist.”— New York Journal. 
Hk: “I know I am not very strong, 
but they say it puts new life into an old 
man to marry.” She: “Yes, I suppose 
that’s the serious obstacle.”— Life. 
“ Your husband is so magnetic a man,” 
said the visitor. “ I know it,” responded 
the wife. “ I found a steel hairpin stick¬ 
ing to his coat collar the other day.”— 
Indianapolis Journal. 
“ Do you take the daily paper ? ” asked 
the newly installed janitor of the apart¬ 
ment house. “ No,” replied the lady to 
whom he was talking; “ we subscribe for 
it, but the people in the next flat take 
it.”— Washington Star. 
•Jones : “ Did you have a good Thanks¬ 
giving dinner?” Smith: “Oh yes, but 
the real time for Thanksgiving is about 
three days after, when you feel tolerably 
sure that you are going to survive the 
dinner.”— Press Siftings.

That Is the way the General Manager of a Rail¬ 
road talked about our fence to an Inquirer a few 
days since. He has 20 miles of It In use. The Super¬ 
intendent of another Road said at a convention of 
Superintendents in Chicago, that with 66 miles In 
use, he had no criticism to make.
