SANDWICH 
SPARKS AND SPLINTERS 
Snoring is now politely described as indulging 
in sheet music. 
A Michigan widow recently hid her cow away 
under the bed to save it from the tax-collector. 
This may bo called a genuine case of “ cow- 
hiding by a female.” 
A sick man in Now Orleans was told by the 
doctor that nothing would save him except a 
quart of catnip tea. “Then I must die,” said 
the poor man. “ for I don’t hold but a pint.” 
It makes a boy heart sick as the winter's wood 
begins to loom up in steadily growing piles in 
the backyard, and he soos his mother making 
preparations for organizing him into “a work¬ 
ingman’s party.” 
Two tramps stopped at the house of & lone 
widow, and one went in to beg. Very soon he 
came out with a black eye. “ Well, did you get 
anything, Jack?” asked the other. “Yes," 
growled the poor sufferer, “ I got the widow’s 
might." 
Neighborly.— 1 “ Oan’t stop a minute; baby’s 
crying ; but I just ran over to tell you that Mrs. 
Jones’s husband oame home a moment ago just 
as tight as he could be. Only think! Must go— 
knew you were not at the window to see him get 
home. Awful! Good-by, love." 
A major in the United States army was cross¬ 
ing from England in one of the Canard steam¬ 
ers, when one afternoon a baud on deck played 
“Yankee Doodle." A gruff Englishman, who 
stood by, inquired whether that was the tune 
the old cow died of. “ Not at all,” retorted the 
major, “that is the tnne that the old Bull 
died of.” 
Mamma (who has been quietly watching certain 
surreptitious proceedings, “ Willie, who helped 
you to that cake?" Willie (promptly) “ Jlob- 
ben, mamma." Mamma (sternly)—“ Rh -sh sli, 
you naughty boy! how dare you toll such sto¬ 
ries ?” M illie —“ ’Taint my fault if It is a ’tory, 
ma. Didn’t pa tell beggerm&u zat hebbon helped 
zhoso zat helped zemselves ?” 
An Unlucky Lot. —A man picked op a purse 
in the street one day. and advertised the fact. 
In ten days he was visited by sixty-ouo men, 
women, boys and girls, all claiming to have lost 
money. Tho sum found was but eleven dollars; 
but of each visitor who called, the Under asked : 
“ So you lost fifty dollars, did you ?” Nine-tenths 
of the applicants promptly replied, “ Yes, sir.’ 
“Ah,” said ho, “ yours was another purse." 
The Danbury News says: What a picnic would 
be without hornets is a matter of conjecture, as 
thore never has been ft way to find out. A hor¬ 
net is not denominational. It goes to all picnics. 
Aud it is a desirable adjunct. It tends to modify 
greediness, besides adding largely to tho general 
enthusiasm. Five hornets at a small table will 
do more to level social distinctions and to pro¬ 
mote social intercourse than an awful disaster 
In a village.
