Humorous. 
“yl me7'ry heaH doctti (jood like a medir , 
cine” —liiHLK. 
You may get .a little kitten, • 
And ’twill grow into a cat; 
But you cannot get a mitten 
That will grow into a mat. 
—Detroit Free Frees. 
Fait, stii-ks— the ones pigs are in.— 
Iddhulelphia Rcceml. 
If the passion for humor keeps grow¬ 
ing with Americans, instead of saying 
wise or pious things when they die, they 
will finally crack jokes.— AtcJbison Globe. ' 
Shk : “Mr. Spooner, I have told you 
for the last time that 1 will not be your 
wife!” lie: “Thank you; I’m going 
to propose once more, so of course your 
answer will then be ‘Yes.’”— Harper’’s 
Bazar. 
Value of Education.—M istress (an¬ 
grily) : “ See, Bridget, I can write my 
name in the dust!” Servant (admiring¬ 
ly) : “Oh, mum, that’s more than I can 
do. There’s nothing like eddication 
after all, is there, mum?”— House Fur¬ 
nishing. 
Ethel : “I don’t believe in marrying 
young, do you ? ” Edith : “ No—that is, 
not too young.” Ethel : “ When I think 
of it, it seems hardly possible that my 
mother was married before I was born.” 
Edith : “Good gracious! Is your mother 
that old ? ”— Life. 
The Lady of the House : “ Why don’t 
you try and get some work to do ? ” The 
Tramp (with an air of self-abnegation): 
“ Madame, there ain’t jobs enough for 
everybody, and I ain’t selfish enough to 
cut in and take the bread out of some 
other man’s mouth.”— Credit Lost. 
A MAN who resides near Rockland had 
a small barn. A few years ago he had 
a big crop of hay, and one of his neigh¬ 
bors asked him where he was going to 
put it. “I think,” said he, “that I’ll 
stack what I can outdoors, and put the 
rest in the barn.”— Lewiston (Me.) Jour¬ 
nal. 
Frances, 3)^ years old, received her 
first ocean bath at the beach one day, 
and having only the family bathtub as 
her gauge of measurement, she said to 
her papa when he had brought her into 
the surf up to her neck: “ 0-o-o-oh, 
papa, papa, take me out quick ! It’s too 
full .”—Boston Herald. 
“Go down to the Great Northern Hotel 
and interview the Female Suffragist lead¬ 
er there,” said the city editor to one of his 
reporters. The young man returned in 
about an hour, and said, “ I saw her, sir, 
but she wouldn’t talk.” “Then you 
must have seen the wrong woman,” re¬ 
plied the chief.—Ifai'pcr’s Bazar.

WHY SOME WIRE FENCES FAIL. 
Take 40 rods of istralglit wire fence, no 
matter what flie name or liow big thewires.it 
must conform to Nature’s laws. One end may 
be fastened to a meeting house, tlie other to 
a big barn, but when a eold day comes, cltlier 
the M. H. and the li. will move 8 in. nearer 
togetlier, or if tlie wires do not break, they 
will Ktreleh, afterwards sag. and never 
come back. This great power of Nat u re k nows 
no master, e.xcept tlie Coiled Springs of tlie 
PAGE WOVEN WIRE FENCE, Adrian, Mich. 
Will not burn, blow or rot down, and the price has 
been put down from S>1 to 65 cents per rod, 
complete with wire stay. Our tightener will tighten 
your old wire fences. Call on your dealer or order
