Humorous 
The man who sighs for the happy day 
When a barefoot boy he ran, 
Is the same old boy who used to say: 
“I wisht I was a man.”— Phila. Record. 
Dentist: “What are the last teeth 
that come ? ” Brilliant Student: “ False 
teeth, I guess.”— Life. 
Mother: “The doctor says you must 
eat meat and fruit.” Sick Boy : “Well, 
gimme some mince pie.”— Credit Lost. 
“Take away woman!” shouted the 
orator, “ and what would follow?” “We 
would,” said a man at the back of the 
audience, promptly.— Wonder. 
“Wiiat’s your opinion of the coming 
woman ? ” lie : “ 1 can’t tell, but I sus¬ 
pect she will keep us waiting just like 
the others.”— Chicago Inter-Ocean. 
“Where were you when the assault 
occurred?” asked the judge of the vic¬ 
tim. “Sure ’n O’i dun’no’, yer honor. 
He hit me so hard O’i couldn’t say.”— 
Harper's Bazar. 
Augustus : “ Why do you so persist¬ 
ently wear the hair of another woman 
on your head?” Beatrice: “For the 
same reason that you wear the skin of 
another calf on your feet.”— The Great 
Divide. 
Customer (who has just purchased a 
wonderfully cheap set of furniture) : 
“Do you always pack furniture care¬ 
fully before delivering it?” New Boy : 
“This kind we do, ’cause the jarring 
would shake it to pieces.”— New York 
Weekly. 
“Gosh 1” said Mr. Jason, stopping on 
the corner and turning to get another 
look at the young woman passing by. 
“Kissing a girl with them sleeves on 
must be nigh the same as tunneling into 
a gingham sunbonnet, like a fellow had 
to do when I was a boy.”— Indianapolis 
Journal. 
“I wish,” said the potato bug, “that 
they’d feed me something different. I’m 
getting kind o’ tired of Paris-green.’ 
“ Try some of this corn,” said the cut¬ 
worm ; “ the coal tar they soaked it in 
makes it very nice, 1 think.” “ This is 
always the most trying season of the 
year, anyhow,” said the cu^culio. “Later, 
when green leaves dressed with kero¬ 
sene emulsion are in season, we’ll all 
have a chance to get fat.”— New York 
Recorder.
