GRINDERS; 
There was a yonna maiden of Lynn 
Who didn't think klsalna a sin. 
Her usual way 
With the boys was to say: 
“ Well, Cholly, why don’t you*beBln ? ” 
—Somervillt Journal. 
•' Ark these colors fast ? ” she asked of 
the new clerk. “ Yes, indeed. You 
ought to see them when they once start 
to run.”— Washington Star. 
“ How to raise cream” heads an article 
in an exchange. The best way we know 
is to plant milk, or you can raise scream 
by dropping a rat in a sewing society.— 
Credit Lost. 
First Citizen (year 1904): “ I notice 
no female voters at the polls to-day. 
What kept them all away?” Second 
Citizen : “A big bargain sale on the 
next block.”— Life, 
“Money or your life,” was asked of 
Pat suddenly by a highwayman. “Be- 
gorra the money about me is all spint, 
and the insurance company has got my 
life, so bang away and good luck to yez 1” 
An Irishman asked a Scotchman one 
day “ why a railway engine was always 
called she.” Sandy replied, “ Perhaps 
it’s on account of the horrible noise it 
makes when it tries to whistle.”—Pear¬ 
son’s We&dy. 
Fond Parent : “ Goodness, how you 
look, child. You are soaked.” Frankie: 
“ Please, pa, I fell into the canal.” 
“What, with your new trousers on?” 
“ I didn’t have time, pa, to take ’em 
off.”— Boston Home Journal.

‘MS THIS HOT ENOUGH FOR YOU?” 
Asked pert Miss .Jersey of gruff old Mr Dur¬ 
ham. “No, it is not,” answered he, “I have 
been hoping to see that ‘blamed’ Coiled Spring 
fence wilt down as other wire fences alw.ays 
do. “You never will experience that degrt'.e 
of heat until you reach the rendering tank, 
where the ‘Chicago d.airy-maids’ wrongfully 
assist your sex to compete with ours in the 
production of gilt-edged .Jersey butter.” 
Tliat heifer believes in good, lences and 
pure butter.
