She pants—for what? For earthly fame? 
Why, no ! For a new dress ? 
Not much ! She cares not for the same, 
Just take another guess. 
Then for a lover tall and strong, 
Like heroes of romance, 
You say, but once again you’re wrong— 
She simply pants for pants. 
—New Orleans Times-Democrat. 
The chief drawback to self-made men 
is that they can’t select their materials.—

The hardest part of learning to ride a 
bicycle is to get the bicycle.— Somerville 
Journal. 
One clue to a man’s early circumstances 
is whether he calls daisies “ wild flowers” 
or “ weeds.”— Washington Star. 
When little Rupert saw a vender's 
horse whose ribs were plainly visible the 
other day, he said to his nurse: “Oh, 
Ellen, just look at the horse with cordu¬ 
roy skin ! ”— Harper’s Round Table. 
The drawing teacher had been giving 
a lesson on cubes, and some of the pupils 
had given examples. The teacher wanted 
more, but no one could think of any. 
Finally a boy said, ‘ ‘ I know a good cube— 
half a pound of butter.” “ Why, that is 
excellent,” cried the teacher. “Now, 
who can give me another example, as 
good as Henry’s ? ” After a long time 
she saw a hand waving wildly in the 
back of the room. “ Well, Willie, what 
is it? ” “ Why, the other half pound of 
that butter,” said Willie triumphantly.—
