“ And you wish to be treated ? said 
the dentist. “ No, begorrah,” replied 
Mr. Dolan; “you shtopthehurrut in this 
toot’, and Oi’ll trate to anythin’ yez 
want .”—Washington Star. 
He : “ Funny, isn’t it, how we men get 
baldheaded and you women don’t ? ” 
She; “I don’t think it’s strange. You 
know we never get to be old enough for 
that .”—South Boston News. 
Ada : “ Flo was just going down for 
the third time, when Dr. Watson dived 
off a yacht and got her.” Grace : “And 
saved her life 1 Isn’t that wonderful ? ” 
Ada : “ Yes, for a doctor.”— TAfe. 
Voice from Doorway : “ Mary ! What 
are you doing out tdera ? ” Mary : “ I’m 
looking at the moon.” “ Well, tell the 
moon to go home, and you come into the 
house. It’s half-past 11.”— Vogue. 
She: “I don’t believe you think half 
so much of me as Tom Dinsley does. He 
tells me he could die for me.” He : 
“ That’s nothing. I love you well enough 
to live with you .”—Boston Transcript. 
Hubby : “ How do you suppose the say¬ 
ing, ‘ There is nothing new under the 
sun,’ever originated?” Wifie: “Real¬ 
ly, I don’t know, unless some woman 
who wore a bonnet like mine said it to 
her husband .”—Detroit Free Press. 
“If these members of Congress would 
only get together,” said Hicks, “ I think 
everything would come out all right.” 
“ Not at all,” said Dawson. “ The main 
thing for the good of the country is that 
they be kept apart. Individually they 
are harmless.”— Harper's Bazar. 
“ The password is ‘Saxe.’ Now don’t 
forget it, Pat,” said the colonel, just 
after the battle of Fontenoy, at which 
Saxe was marshal. “Sacks? Faith, 
and I will not. Wasn’t my father a 
miller?” “Who goes there?” cried the 
sentinel, after the Irishman had arrived 
at his post. Pat was as wise as an owl, 
and in a sort of whispered yell replied, 
“Bags, yer honor I”— Advance. 
There is a story told of a colored girl 
who happened to meet a gentleman going 
down the street and who got on the same 
side of the narrow walk; then both 
started for the other side, and another 
collision was imminent. They then 
danced back and dodged again, when the 
colored girl suddenly stopped and said : 
“ See heah, mister, what am dis gwice 
to be, a schottische or a waltz ? ”— Colum¬ 
bus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun.

THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD 
falls into line with an order for thirty miles 
of Page Fence to bo put up at once, and a 
probability of as much more being wanted 
this season. Tliis insures the happiness of 
several hundred adjoining farmers, who will 
also become customers, and tlius the good 
work goes on. Oilier fences “just as good as 
the Page,” whoso elasticity exists only in 
the mind of the seller, stand no show with 
the railroads.
