A mouse ran by. She did not scream 
Or wildly raise her bead. 
“ I do not mind such animals, 
With bloomers on,” she said.— Life. 
It is easy enough to tell a Yale-man 
anywhere this year, but you can’t tell 
him much.— Boston Globe. 
A man and wife were formerly one. 
The new idea is to make them two men. 
—Atchison Globe. 
The sight of a garden patch and a hoe 
has been known to give a boy a severe 
case of rheumatism. —Cleveland Plain 
Dealer. 
“ I UNDERSTAND you have a fine garden, 
Tommie.” “ Yeth.” “What do you 
raise in it chiefly ? ” “ Tayty-bugs,” said 
Tommie.— Harper’s Bazar. 
“ Nora,” said Mrs. Knervz, when the 
maid answered the ring of her mistress, 
“Nora, I will feed the canary myself 
after this. The doctor says I must take 
more exercise.”— Boston Home Journal. 
The wayworn man had fallen in the 
street in a very great swoon. The usual 
crowd gathered, and the usual man who 
knows what to do shouted : “ Stand back 
and give him air ” The wayworn man 
got up. “Air!” said he, with a fine 
scorn. “ Air ! Why, I ain’t had noth¬ 
ing but air for three days.”— London Fun.
