“Now who is that?” asked a dignified hen; 
“That chicken in white and gray? 
She’s very well dressed, but from whence did she 
come? 
And her family, who are they?” 
“She never can move in our set, my dear,” 
Said the old hen’s friend to her, later; 
“I’ve just found out—you’ll be shocked to hear— 
She was hatched in an incubator!"

Tkaciikk: “Why are the days so short 
in the winter?” Dull Boy: “Guess it 
mus’ be ’cause the nights are so long.”— 
New York Weekly. 
Mus. Onk : “How is your husband to¬ 
day, Mrs. Tother?” Mrs. Totlier: “Bet¬ 
ter, thank you. lie is always better 
when he is sick than at any other time.” 
—Detroit Free Press. 
Ada: “Matters are growing serious 
between the new boarder and Miss 
Brown.” Blanche: “Yes; they are on 
the balcony now. It is a case of two 
souls with but a single chair.”— Puck. 
A Rochester boy spoke of bloomers. 
His mother said in surprise: “Bloomers? 
What do you know about bloomers ? ” 
“Oh, I know what they are,” said the 
boy. “ They’re puff sleeves worn on the 
1 egs. ”— Rochester Post-Express. 
“ Why is it, Mr. Greeugoods,” the 
young wife asked, “ that you charge al¬ 
most twice as much for your peas as Mr. 
Smith, across the way ? ” “ Very easily 
explained, madam,” answered the smil¬ 
ing grocer. “Our peas are all hand 
planted. Those that Smith handles are 
mere machine work.” “ I—I guess I’ll 
take some.”— Cincinnati Tribune. 
“ Mother,” said the emancipated 
woman’s boy, “it isn’t proper to say 
pants.” “Certainly not. There are 
many substitutes for the word that are 
far more elegant.” The boy played on 
with the dog in silence for a while, and 
then looking up into her face, said: 
“ Mother.” “ What is it ? ” “ Don’t you 
think it’s dreadful?” “What, dear?” 
“ The way Fido bloomers this warm 
weather.”— Washington Star.
