His love, he said, was like the sea, 
The maiden answered quick 
She thought that he was right in that 
Because it made her sick.— Life.

“ Well, Tommy, have you learned 
anything at school?” “Yes sir; I’ve 
learned to wear a lung protector in the

11 eaudso: ‘ ‘They say every hearty laugh 
adds a day to one’s life.” Saidso: “That

who were hired to weed onions, were 
started at opposite ends of a row, and 
told to weed toward each other. “ I’s

presently. “ No you ’ain’t nuther,” as¬

down the row. “ I’s lots nearer to yo’

A newspaper funny man has invented 
not an absolutely fresh, but a compara¬ 
tively new joke upon a very old subject. 
Miss Timid was talking about her own 
nervousness, and her various night 
alarms. ‘ ‘ Did you ever find a man under 
your bed, Mrs. Bluff ? ” she asked. “Yes,” 
said that worthy woman. “ The night 
we thought thei’e were burglars in the 
house I found my husband there.”— 
Youth’s Companion.

you remember, showed up very favor¬ 
ably in a draft test—but you forget what 
sort of a “test” it was.
