Veteran Corn Shelter 
You don’t know how glad I am to see yon, 
Clara, dear." *• Oh, yes I do,” replied Clara 
dear; "Johnny told me that he heard you say 
you would rather die than see me.” 
Mother : " Now, Gei ty, be a good girl, and 
give Aunt Jalia a kiss and say good night.”— 
Qerty : "No, not if I kiss her ehe’ll box my' 
ears, like she did papa’s last night.” 
" Suet dat do’, Sam." " Why. it ain’t cold, 
marm.” "Golly, you shet dat do' you brat; 
ob course it ain’t cold, it’s me dat’s cold. Tink 
I care wedder de do’s cole or not!” 
New style pocket handkerchiefs have the 
day of the week embroidered on them. This is 
to prevent a lazy man from carrying the same 
handkerchief the week through. 
"Mks, Brown, Ido wish yon would try to 
bring Dtvid out a little. Why, do you know 
he’s so bashful that 1 really think if he caught 
the measles they wouldn't come out." 
Peck's Sun has been looking up the milli¬ 
nery business, and it finds that thirty cents’ 
worth of velvet, three cents’ worth of wire 
and forty cents’ worth of feathers can be 
Btirred up and sold for $25. 
"Kiss,” said young Charles, "is a noun,* 
we allow; but tell me, my dear, is it proper or 
common?” Lovely Mary blushed deep and 
exclaimed: " Why I vow, I think that a kiss 
is both proper and common.” 
A young lady was caressing a pretty spaniel 
and murmuiing: "I do love a nice dog!” 
"Ah?" sighed a dandy standing near, "I 
would I were a dog." " Never mind,” retorted 
the young lady sharply, " you'll grow.” 
Teacher— " John, what are your boots made 
of?" Bjy—"Of leather.” " Where does the 
leather come from?’’ "From the hide of the 
ox." " What animal, therefore, supplies you 
with boots and gives you meat to eat ?” " My 
father.”—Galveston News. 
A gentleman from Indiana recently regis¬ 
tered at au Illinois hotel aud looked at the 
printed notice in his bedroom, "Please do not 
blow out the gas." The occupant of the ad¬ 
joining room heard him remark, "I pay my 
money, and I am going to blow out the gas if 
I waut to.”

Something the Tourist Needs. 
The tourist and the commercial traveler who 
visits foreign lands, or regions of his own country 
where vicissitudes of climate are among the in¬ 
fluences prejudicial to health, omits a necessary 
precaution It he takes with him no medicinal safe¬ 
guard against llluesa. l’ho most reliable, If due 
credit be given to the statement of travelers, 
manners, ajni emigrants who have used it, Is 
Uostetiers btotuaeu Bitters, a sovereign protec¬ 
tive against malarial and ship fever, ana disor¬ 
ders ot tne stomach, liver auo bowels, to which 
persons In transitu from one country to another, In 
me t ropics, and emigrants to the far West are 
peculiarly subject, 'me highly accredited medl- 
uiue iiuliulea bad atmospheric influences, the at- 
tecta ot impure water, ana luures me constitution 
to changes of temperature acd an unaccustomed 
climate. Hardship ana fatigue are endured with 
less danger or evil consequences It the system is 
forUQed with this incomparable tonic and nervine.
