Humorous 
I love thee 10-derly, O Kate! 
With love in-10-se and true; 
My heart’s tree throws a 10-dril out 
That reaches, dear, to you. 
My feeling's I do not pre-10-d, 
Nor have I a 10-dency 
To make my heart so 10-sile as 
To cover more than thee. 
10-aciously I cling to thee, 
Nor will I be ccn-10-t 
Until we two joint 10-ants are 
Of the self-same 10-ement.

“ I don’t buy stolen goods, sir.” “ Why, 
they weren’t stolen, my dear sir. 1 was 
married yesterday. ”— Tid-Bits. 
The Funny Bonk : “ Papa,” said a boy, 
“ I know what makes people laugh in 
their sleeve.” “ Well, my son, what 
makes them?” “’Cause that’s where 
their funny bone is.”— Credit Lost. 
“ Any insanity in your family ? ” asked 
the examining physician. “ Well,” said 
the man who was applying for life in¬

been crazy to have ever married me.”— 
Indianapolis Journal. 
“Well!” exclaimed Dobson, as a hen 
carefully stepped aside, instead of turn¬ 
ing around and scuttling across the 
the front of his bicycle. “ That’s the 
first sensible hen 1 ever saw.” “ Proba¬ 
bly it’s a new hen,” said his friend.— 
Harper’s Bazar. 
“ Aunty, I don’t want to go to bed,” 
said Harry one evening about his usual 
bedtime. “Why not?” asked aunty. 
“ ’Cause I don’t,” objected Harry. “ Why, 
the little chickens have gone to bed,” 
said aunty. “Well,” said Harry, “I 
guess their mothers went with ’em.”—
