found, however, that he couldn’t keep 
his head above water any better after he 
got there .—Huston Transcript. 
Planning the Campaign. —Farmer: 
“I wouldn’t say ‘no mosquitos’ in that 
advertisement.” Daughter: “ Why, Pa, 
everybody says that!” Farmer: “I 
know; but it just makes folks think 
about ’em.”— Puck. 
F A r m e r Hayseed: “ Doctor, that 
heifer of mine is a pretty sick animal.” 
Doctor: “ Yes; so I see.” Farmer Hay¬ 
seed : “ I’d like to have you fix her up if 
you can. You see, doctor, my wife died 
two months ago, and it would be awful 
hard to lose ’em both in one year.”—

Ike Piulkins was discovered by his 
mother carrying a vessel so full of milk 
that it was slopping at every step. “Ike, 
you wasteful thing !” she exclaimed, 
“what makes you fill that basin so full?” 
“If I didn’t start with it that full,” he 
retorted, “I wouldn’t have any milk left 
in the dish by the time I got to the calf 
pen, it slops so .”—New York World.
