From each the solemn statement comes 
On highway and on byway; 
There’s but one way to run this earth, 
And that, of course, is “ my way.” 
— Washington Star. 
“ Do you remember, Julian, why they 
shot poor Saint Sebastian full of arrows? ” 
■“’Cause they hadn’t any gun.”— Life. 
“Say, papa, are you going to New 
York to-morrow °” “I guess so. Why?” 
“ Well, I wish you would get me a new 
tooth-brush ; my old one is moulting.”— 
New York Ledger. 
*‘I wonder,” mused the family cat, 
lafter carefully inspecting the new mouse¬ 
trap, “ if that is a labor-saving device for 
my benefit, or if I’m in danger of losing 
any situation .”—Credit Lost. 
'“I am very much obliged to you, ma- 
'dam,” said the tramp to the farmer’s 
wife, after he had eaten a hearty meal. 
“ The dinner was most excellent, and I 
shall take great pleasure in recommend¬ 
ing this place to my friends.”— Harper's 
Bazar. 
They have a good joke just at present 
on a well-known lawyer who is noted 
for his absent-mindedness. He went up 
his own stairs the other day, and seeing 
a notice on his own door, “Back at two,” 
sat down to wait for himself.— Harper's 
Bound Table. 
“ The actions of some of these reform¬ 
ers,” said the corn-field philosopher, “ re¬ 
mind me much of the way my father 
used to pull weeds in the garden for 
about a minute to show me how easy it 
was. Then he would go off and sit flown 
in the shade and leave me to keep at it 
all the forenoon.”— Indianapolis Journal. 
A LITTLE city boy was making his first 
visit in the country at his grandfather’s. 
He was very much interested in the Jer¬ 
sey cows, and the first milking at which 
he attended was watched with astonish¬ 
ment. The continuous stream of milk 
aroused his curiosity until he suddenly 
burst forth with, “ Say, grandpa, where 
do you turn it on ? "—Home Companion. 
Patrick’s face was so homely that, as 
he used to say, it seemed an “offince to 
the landscape,” and he was as poor as he 
was homely. One day a neighbor met 
him, and said : “ And how are ye, Pat ? ” 
“Mighty had,” answered Pat. “It is 
shtarvation that is shtarin’ me in the 
face.” “Is that so?” said the sympa¬ 
thetic inquirer. “ Sure, and it can’t be 
very pleasant for ayther of ye " — Rich-
