A very clever little miss 
Wrote some verses on a kiss, 
Describing well—the sweet sensation. 
But—questioned on the authorship, 
She let this little statement slip— 
The kiss—was a collaboration. — Life. 
The man who robs Peter to pay Paul 
usually intends to strike Paul for a larger 
loan later on.— Puck. 
Farmers out West are reported to be 
buying those long, roomy pocketbooks 
that were in vogue a few years ago.— 
Chicago Times Herald. 
A few days ago Susie was quite angry 
at her older sister Edith, and after think¬ 
ing pretty hard for a few minutes she 
said, “ Mamma, how did you ever happen 
to pick Edith out for my sister ? ”— 
Youth's Companion. 
“ Well, what do you want, sonny?” 
asked the grocer. “ I ’most fox-get what 
mamma sent me for,” i-eplied the per¬ 
plexed little boy on the outside of the 
counter, “but I think it’s a can of con¬ 
demned mil k. ”— Chicago Tribune. 
Tommy: “Is this to-morrow?” Tom¬ 
my’s Pop : “ No, ray boy ; this is to-day.” 
“To-morrow will be to-day to-morrow 
then, won’t it?” “Yes.” “Then will 
to-morrow be yesterday day after to¬ 
morrow ? ” “ Now, see here ; you get 
right off to bed.”— Philadelphia Record. 
Caddington : “Well, I see you ladies 
have started your paper, The Advanced 
Woman. You’ve made application, I 
suppose, to have it go through the mail 
as second-class matter.” Miss Strong- 
mynd (firmly): “ Not we, indeed ! The 
Advanced Woman is to be first-class in 
every particular. ”— Puck. 
“ Only one more, George ; only one 
more,” she whispered fondly as she clung 
about his neck like ivy ai-ound a stump. 
The man flushed scai-let and in vain at¬ 
tempted to put her from him. “ Please, 
George ! Oh, as you love me, George, 
only one more!” “No!” he cried 
hoarsely, wresting himself from her con¬ 
vulsive embrace. “ Sooner than take 
another of those liver pills I’ll sue for 
a divorce.”— Judge.
