Humorous. 
“ 2 I rnerry heart df>eth (jood like a medi- 
cirie.” —IHblk. 
THE WAY HE DOES IT. 
Did you ever see a baby 
When be first espied a bee ? 
Did you ever see the baby try 
To solve the mystery, 
Of how the bee can fasten up 
His pretty coat of yellow ? 
He fastens it with one sharp pin ! 
The nauphty, nauKi'ty fellow ! 
—Cora Sfua?'t Wheeler. 
“ No, (Jeorg'e,” she said, “ I can never 
be yours.” “Then I am rejected?” he 
moaned. “ No, dearest, not that ; but I 
am a worn in's suffragist, and cannot be 
any man's. You, however, may be mine 
if you will .”—Credit Lost. 
11k : “ If you women had the ballot, 
you would always ca.st your votes for 
the handsomest candidates.” She : “Well, 
if we did there wouldn’t be any more 
dog-nosed, beery, pimple-faced toughs in 
high places .”—New York Herald. 
Fakmkk Cornley : “There isn’t any 
money in wheat.” Farmer \\’heatley : 
“ Yes, there is. 1 paid my men for sow¬ 
ing 40 acres last season and the crop 
didn't bring the price of the seed. I’ve 
got money still in it .”—PhiUulelphUi 
Record. 
Caller : “ Why do you call your new 
maid ‘.lapan,’ Mrs. .Joins; isn't she 
Irish?” Mrs. .1.: “ Oh, yes, she's Irish, 
and her real name is Mary Ann ; but we 
think the other more appropriate ; she 
seems to have such a grudge against 
china, you know.”— Life. 
A Macon girl is just back from the 
country. While there she asked of the 
farmer ; “ Why don’t you milk that 
cow?” pointing to one in an adjoining 
lot. “ Ilecause she is dry. Miss.” “Dry?” 
“ Yes, Miss. (She's been dry for two 
weeks.” “You cruel wretch,” she ex¬ 
claimed, “ why don't you give her some 
water?” and the man turned his face 
toward the cow house and shook with 
emotions he could not suppress.—3fcico/i 
News. 
At Frank’s house they had quince jam 
for supper ; but Frankie had been ill, so 
his mother said to him, “ Frank, you 
cannot have any jam ; it will make you 
sick, and then you might die.” Frank 
took this like a little man, until he saw 
his mother help herself to the jam the 
second time. Then he pushed his plate 
.slowly toward the forbidden dish, and 
said, with deliberation: “Well, if you 
are going to die, 1 might as well die too. 
Gimme some of it.”—JTarper’s Bazar.
