They say when Cupid aims his darts 
He rarely ever misses; 
Yet, when he shoots at women’s heart, 
’Tis then he makes the Mrs.

The Silver Question —“(lot any 
change, John ? ”—Judge. 
Mother: “Goodness, Tommie, won’t 
you ever learn to be a good boy ? ” 
Tommie (with confidence): “Yes’m, 
when I’m growedup.”— Detroit Free Press. 
He: “Is this the first time you’ve 
ever been in love, darling?” She 
(thoughtlessly): “Yes; but it’s so nice 
that I hope it won’t be the last! ”— Tid- 
mu. 
“The trouble with too many women,” 
says the cornfed philosopher, “is that 
they regard the marriage ceremony 
mainly as a license to eat onions and 
wear ill-fitting clothes.”— Indianapolis 
Journal. 
Not Selfish.— “ Why do you and Hob¬ 
by quarrel so much. 1 hope my Willie 
is not a selfish little boy.” “No, mam¬ 
ma, I’m not selfish, but Hobby is. He 
always wants to play the games I don’t 
want to.”— Harper's Bazar. 
Caller : “ Is Miss Sweetie at home?” 
New Girl: “ Yes, sor.” Caller : "Is she 
engaged ?” New Girl: “ Wull, from tli’ 
crushed-up look thim big sleeves had 
phwin Oi wint in to stir the foire, I 
sliud say she wuz.”— New York Weekly. 
The Pastor (a dyspeptic, taking din¬ 
ner with the family): “Thank you, Mrs. 
Brown. I’d like to have another piece 
of the pie, but I will have to say no.” 
Willy Brown (in surprise): “Goodness 
me ! Did your mother tell you* not to 
take a second piece, too ? ”— Puck. 
The subject which the young man now 
Is puzzled most upon 
Is not sixteen to one, but how 
Sweet sixteen may be won.
