54th Year. "The most complete 
nurseries on the American Continent.*’ 
Humorous. 
Now doth ye jfreen young country boy 
Te apple eat of similar hue, 
And strange to say, ye same doth make 
Ulm feel quite blue. 
—Philadelphia Record. 
Stern Parent (to a young applicant 
for his daughter’s hand): “ Young man, 
can you support a family?” Young 
man (meekly): “I only wanted Sarah.”— 
Credit Lost. 
Mrs. Suffrage: ‘'It’s woman’s high¬ 
est mission to correct the crying evils of 
the time.” Mr. Suffrage (mildly): “Then 
wouldn’t you better spank those twins 
and put them to bed before they yell 
the roof off ? *’— Life. 
Bertha : “ Sometimes you appear 
really manly and sometimes you are 
absolutely effeminate. IIow do you ac¬ 
count for it ? ” Harold : “I suppose it is 
hereditary. Half my ancestors were 
males, and the other half females.”— 
lid-Dits. 
“ Does the fact that I have money, 
make any difference to you, Herbert, 
dear?” “ Of course it does, my own. It 
is such a comfort to know that if I should 
die you would be well provided for.” 
“But suppose I should die ? ” “ Then I 
would be well provided for.”— Life. 
“ Do you mean to tell me,” said the 
soulful young woman, “that you have 
never yet met the woman whose pres¬ 
ence and touch thrilled your whole being 
in an utterly indescribable manner?” 
“Only once,” said the weary young man. 
“It was when I was in the hands of a 
woman dentist .”—Indianapolis Journal. 
“ You country people make lots of 
funny mistakes when you come to town,” 
said the city young man. “ Yep,” re¬ 
plied the gentle farmer ; “ but when we 
remember what a lot of argyin ’ it takes 
to convince some city folks that goose¬ 
berries don’t necessarily come from egg 
plants, we sorter learn ter bear up.”— 
Washington Star. 
now Dice, beneath the bending shade 
Of maple boughs so green, 
To walk with one you love the best 
And squeeze her hand unseen; 
What thrilling, queer sensations as 
Her Ups you slyly smack. 
And feel a wooly caterpillar 
Crawling down your back.
