SPARKS AND 8PLINTERS 
A child being asked what were the great 
feasts, promptly replied, “breakfast, dinner and 
supper.” 
A boy having been told “ that a reptile was an 
animal that creeps," on being asked to name one 
on examination day, promptly replied “ a baby.” 
“That’s our family tree,” said an Arkansas 
youth as he pointed to a vigorous hemlock, and 
added, “ A good many of our folks have been 
hung on that tree, for borrerin 1 hoBses after 
dark.” 
A country girl wrote to her lover: “Now, 
George, don’t you fale to be at the singing 
school to-night." George wrote back that “ in 
the bright lexicon of youth—Webster’s Una¬ 
bridged—there’s no such word as * fale.’ ” 
“ I say, fellows,” remarked a Yankee loafer to 
some of his companions, “ let us see who can 
tell the biggest lio.” “ All right,” said one, “ I’m 
the biggest fool in America.” “Oh, pshaw!” 
exclaimed the first, contemptuously ; “ we agreed 
to tell nothing but lies, and you begin by telling 
the truth.” 
Recently a very modest young Boston lady, 
who wanted a pair of garters, addressed the 
shopman thus: “ It is my desire to obtain a pair 
of circular elastic appendages, capable of being 
contracted or expanded by means of oscillating 
burnished steel appliances that sparkle like par¬ 
ticles of gold-leaf set with Alaska diamonds, and 
which are utilized for retaining in proper posi¬ 
tion the habiliments of the lower extremities, 
which innate delicacy forbids me to mention.”
