An exchange says : "The bicycle is a great 
thing to put flesh on a man’s legs.” It is also 
a great thing to take flesh off a man’s nose 
and other portions of his face.—Norristown 
Herald. 
" Tommy," said a mother to her seven-year- 
old boy, “ you must not interrupt me when I 
am talking with lathes. You must wait till 
we stop, then you can talk.” "But you 
never stop.” retorted the boy. 
" Does our talk disturb you *” said one of a 
company of talkative ladies to an old gentle¬ 
man sitting in a railway station the other 
afternoon. "No, ma’am,” was the naive re¬ 
ply, " I’ve been married nigh on to forty 
years.”—Hartford Times. 
Playing Barnyard.—N ew Haven Jour¬ 
nal ; One day Billy and Sammy were playing 
in a mud hole, and Bill said: 
" Now, Hammy, les play we was a barn¬ 
yard. You be the pig, and lie down and 
waller, and I’ll be a bull and beller like every¬ 
thing.” 
So they got down on their hands and knees, 
and Sammy he went into the dirt and wal¬ 
lowed, while Billy bellowed like distant 
thunder. By-and-by Sammy came up muddy 
—you never saw such a muddy little fellow— 
and he said: 
* Now, you’ll be the pig, and let me beller.” 
But Billy said: " I ain’t a very good pig 
except for dinner, and it’ll be time nuff for 
you to beller when your mother sees yer 
close.”
