“You were embarrassed when you 
proposed to me, George, were you not?” 
“ Yes, 1 owed over $ 20 , 000 .”— Life. 
Little Betii has gone into the coun¬ 
try. “You must keep an awful lot of 
policemen out here, grandpa,” she said, 
on the first day after her arrival. “ Why 
so, Beth?” said her grandfather. “Oh. 
there’s such a lot of grass to keep off 
of ! ”— Inter-Ocean. 
O’Toole (seeing a deer for the first 
time): “ Oi shall come back a couple of 
weeks later to have a look at that baste.” 
Mrs. O'Toole : “ Phwoy ? ” O’Toole : 
“Oi’d loike to see how he looks whin th’ 
leaves coom out on that tree he’s wearin’ 
on his head.”— Puck. 
Tommy : “ May I have some bread and 
sugar, mamma?” Mamma: “Why do 
you always want bread and sugar, and 
never bread and butter?” Tommy: 
“ Because, mamma, sugar’s only worth 
five cents a pound, and butter’s about 
40.”— Hamer's Bazar. 
“ Oh, look ! " exclaimed Mrs. Sassa¬ 
fras. of Hemlock Corners, as she and 
her husband gazed for the first time on a 
bearded lady at a dime museum. “ ’Sh, 
Lindy! Don’t speak so loud,” replied 
her husband, in a whisper. “ Mebbe 
that’s one of the emancipated women 
we’ve read about.”— Harper's Bazar. 
“ Maudy,” said Farmer Corntossel, as 
he set down a bucket of spring water and 
leaned against the doorpost, “ain’t the 
Goddessof Liberty a female?” “’Course.” 
“Ain’t Queen Victoria a lady?” “Cer¬ 
tainly.” “Ain’t all our ships called she?” 
“ Invariably.” “Ain’t the statoo of free¬ 
dom in the feminine gender?” “ It is.” 
“ Well, what do you ’mancipated women 
want, auyhow—the earth? ”— Credit Lost. 
Observing Citizen : “ The needless 
waste in a great city is simply dreadful. 
Think of the hundreds of thousands of 
tons of garbage which are destroyed an¬ 
nually, and then reflect what a blessing 
it could be to the agricultural districts.” 
Real Estate Man (sadly) “Yes, it’s too 
bad. Whole mountains of it go to waste 
every year, when if I had it out at Frog 
Hollow I could fill in the whole gully, 
call the place Zephyr Terrace, and sell 
off the lots at $1,000 apiece.”— New York 
Weekly.
