There are two 
classes of bicycles— 
Mary had a little lamb ; 
It followed her each day, 
Till Mary put the bloomers on. 
And then it ran away. 
—Louisiana Times. 
A monopoly is a good deal like a baby. 
A man is opposed to it on general prin¬ 
ciples until he has one of his own.— Tid- 
Bits. 
Grandpa: “Don’t get scared Willy; 
the tiger is about to be fed ; that’s what 
makes him jump and roar so.” Willy 
(easily): “Oh, I ain’t afraid of him, 
grandpa; papa’s the same way when 
his meals ain’t ready.”— Puck. 
A strong-minded woman who supports 
her husband remarked recently that she 
wouldn’t have the condition reversed. 
“ You’ve no idea,” she said, “ how sweet 
and affectionate a man is when he is de¬ 
pendent upon you for his spending 
money .”—Arliansaw Thomas Cat. 
“ Wiiat kind of money are you in 
favor of ?” inquired the energetic states¬ 
man. “ Which metal do you prefer as 
currency ?” “ Wa-a-1,” replied Farmer 
Corntossel, “I dunno ’z I kin tell. But 
the one thing I do know is thet ef I put 
in my time stan’in’ roun’ argyin’ an’ 
worryin’ ’bout it, I’m purty doggone 
li’ble not ter git either of ’em.”— Wash¬ 
ington Star. 
A Pennsylvania paper tells of a man 
who was gored by an angry bull and 
severely injured “ while passing through 
a cow pasture with a red flannel shirt 
on.” V/e have been telling the farmers 
of this country for years that if this fool¬ 
ish and expensive decoration of cow past¬ 
ures in bright colored flannel shirts 
wasn’t stopped, somebody would get 
hurt. Now see what we told you.— 
Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle.
