Veteran Corn Sheller 
A three tear old discovered the neighbor’s 
hens in her yard scratching. In a most in¬ 
dignant tone she reported to her mother that 
Mr. Smith's hens were "wiping their feet on 
our grass."—Newport News. 
“ What is the meaniug of the word tanta¬ 
lizing ?” asked the teacher. " Please, marm,” 
spoke up little Johnny Holcomb. “ it means a 
circus procession passing the school house and 
the scholars not allowed to look out.” 
"The milk is pretly blue, landlord.” '*Don’t 
understand it, sir; my cow is well fed, I milk 
her m\ self, and I don’t put water in the milk.” 
“ Well, the weather has been quite wet, and 
I reckon the cow needs shingling; that’s 
about it." 
Last Summer she was eatiug green corn by 
gnawing it from a cob, when her teeth became 
entangled with a corn silk. "Oh dear!” said 
she impatiently, "I wish when they get the 
corn made they would pull out the basting- 
threads.”—Live Stock Record. 
A gentleman in New York met a rather 
" uncertain ” acquaintance the other day, when 
the latter said : •• i’ra a little short, and would 
like to ask you a conundrum in mental arith¬ 
metic.” 4 ' Proceed,” observed the gentleman. 
'• Well,” said the “short'' man, “ suppose you 
had ten dollars in your pocket, and I should 
ask you for five dollars, how much would re¬ 
main?” 44 Ten dollars," was the prompt an¬ 
swer.
