“We are Advertised 
by our Loving Friends.” 
At the Michigan State Fair a man wanted a 
bill of fence, but objected to our price, as he 
was told ho could do better. Later, he came 
back and bought freely, then stated the rea¬ 
son thusly: “I Avent the rounds of all the 
fence exhibits, and each and every one as¬ 
sured me that his was ‘just as good as the 
r.4<;i<: ’ and cost only U or H or '■A as much. 
The Pago seemed to bo the SXANIIAIID, 
and in buying it I take no chances.”

Ethel (six years old, her first view of 
a dairy) : “ Say, papa, it must cost an 
awful lot to buy gum for so many cows.” 
Hostess: “Oh, I think some people 
are so disagreeable. Don’t you hate 
people who can sing and won’t ?’ Old 
Grouchy: “ No, not so much as I do 
those who can’t sing and totll I ”— Life. 
Markied Man: “Not married yet?” 
Old Chum: “ No, I’m not.” Married 
Man : “ Now see here, old boy, times are 
changing mighty fast. You take my 
advice and marry, before women get 
any more emancipated than they are 
already.”— New York Weekly. 
Clerk: “What fiavor ?” Bridget 
(aside to Pat) : “ Phat do he mean, Pat?” 
Pat: “Whist, Biddy; don’t show yer 
ignorance ; they has fruit flavors in the 
soda. I’ll he havin’ strawberry in mine.” 
Bridget: “ Oh, yis, I see ; fruit flavors. 
Oi’ll have onion in mine.”— Life. 
“ I LOVE all that is beautifuHn Nature 
atd art,” she was saying to her msthetic 
admirer. “ I revel in the green flelds, 
the babbling brooks and the little way- 
side flowers. I feast on the beauties of 
earth and sky and air. They are my 
daily life and food, and—” “Maudie,” 
cried out her mother from the kitchen, 
not knowing that her daughter’s beau 
was in the parlor. “ Maudie, whatever 
made you go and eat that big dish of 
cabbage and pork that was left over from 
dinner ? I told you we wanted them 
warmed up for supper. I declare if your 
appetite isn’t enough to bankrupt your 
pa.” And she collapsed.— New Orleans 
Picayune.
