“ A merry heart doeth good like a medi¬ 
cine .”— Bible. 
“ I’ve been pondering over a very sin¬ 
gular thing.” “ What is it?” “How 
putting a ring on a woman’s third finger 
should place you under that woman’s 
thumb. ”— Life. 
Minister : “So you say that you saw 
some boys out fishing, Sunday, Bobbie ? 
I hope you did something to discourage 
them.” Bobbie: “Oh. yes, sir. I stole 
their bait.”— Harlem Life. 
Teacher : “ Now, Willie, if your mam¬ 
ma promised you 10 cents and your papa 
15 cents, how many wo.uld you have 
altogether?’-’ Willie:' “The 10 cents 
mamma promised me.”— Chicago Inter- 
Ocean. 
She Trembled With Race : “ Insult, 
insult!” she moaned; “and yet I can 
not raise a hand, unless-.” A ray of 
hope appeared. “-some one will 
come along and unhook my waist in the 
back.”— Puck.

The mesh arouno the PANEL shows 
how the Fence is maoe. 
are the essentials for a model Christian, and 
HEIGHT, STRENGTH and ELASTICI¬ 
TY, for a model wire fence. In the first case. 
Charity is the greatest of the three, and in 
the other. Elasticit y, but it must be the gen¬ 
uine article in botli cases. If reformers 
could establish a great mill where ordinary 
mortals could be run through and as 
thoroughly fitted for good honest work as 
the product of our looms, what a Paradise 
this world would be. For further particulars 
in regard to fence, see small bills.
