If strict ideas ever come, 
That cultured lady had ’em 
Who never said “chrysanthemum,” 
But said “chrysanthe-madam.” 
—Modes and Fabrics. . 
Mother (reaching for her slipper): “So 
you’ve been teasing your sister again, 
have you ? ” Son : “ Don’t strike, Ma. 
Let’s settle it by arbitration.”— Harper's 
Bazar. 
Mr. Gotham : “Would you like to see 
1 Pygmalion,’ to-night, Miss Porcine?” 
Miss Porcine of Cincinnati: “ Yes, very 
much, Mr. Gotham. I believe in encour¬ 
aging anything connected with the great 
hog industry.”— Credit Lost. 
“ No, he’s no better,” said a woman, 
when the doctor came to visit her hus¬ 
band. “You told me to give him as much 
of the powder as would lie on a 10-cent 
piece. 1 hadn’t a 10, but 1 gave him as 
much as would go on 10 ones, and he’s 
worse, if anything.”— The Household. 
Farmer Oatcake : “ Aint you ashamed 
of yourself to be goin’ ’round beggin’ 
this way ? You’re better dressed than 
half the men up to my town.” City 
tramp : “ Mebbe, boss ; but den yer 
know a gent’s got ter be more careful of 
his looks when he lives in der city.”— 
Puck. 
American Millionaire (year 1988) : 
“ What are the prices of admission ?” 
Doorkeeper (United States Capitol) : 
“ Seats in the Senate are $500,000, but I 
can give you a seat in the House for 
$100,000. Thanks. Hand this ticket to 
the usher. Keep the coupon in your hat 
to avoid mistakes.”— Puck.

Another Wonderful Cure. 
Ever since my “calfhood" I had been In 
trouble, inherited a tendency to “breaking 
out.” After a severe attack I have often 
been confined to the stable for weeks. Also 
troubled with a ringing sensation In my nose, 
and a feeling as if stuck with pitchforks by 
angry men. I was threatened with “Bologna 
treatment,” but a friend recommended Elas¬ 
ticity as compounded by the Page Woven 
Wire Fence Co., Adrian, Mich. One dose 
worked a complete cure, and I can freely 
recommend it in all similar cases. 
Yours truly, Durham Bull.
