CENTS 
8PARKS AND SPLINTERS. 
A Massachusetts cow came homo the other 
day carrying on her horn the following note : 
“Inclosed find six cents for one quart of milk 
taken this forenoon.” And the six cents were 
there! 
A thick-headed squire being worsted by Sid¬ 
ney Smith in an argument, took his revenge by 
exclaiming ; “ If I had a son who was an idiot 
I would make him a parson." “ Very likely,” 
replied Sidney, “ but I see your father was of a 
different, opinion,” 
A highland schoolmaster was called upon to 
help the great men in drawing up a petition, and, 
as the chief magistrate was some five or six feet 
in circumference, he was not a little disturbed 
when he read the heading : “ To the mare and 
body corpulent!” 
Lightning struck a hive of bees in Kansas, 
the other day. The painful story is soon told. 
The misguided lightning came out of that hive 
quicker than it went iu, and went off into space 
with its tail between its legs. Moral—never 
pick a quarrel when you are not acquainted tbe 
folks .—Oil City Derrick. 
A rheumatic old gentleman, whose son was 
careless about shutting the front door after 
him, called out to him one oold day, when he had 
left the door swinging wide, “ See here, young 
man, you leave that door open too much !" “Do 
I ?’’ was the response. “ Then how much open 
shall I leave it?” “I mean you leave it open 
too often !” thundered the gentleman. “ Oh! 
well, how often Hhall I leave it open ?” politely 
inquired the son. The father did not dare trust 
himself to reply. 
Independent Voticb (to defeated candidate) 
—“ The baby has got a new tooth, but the old 
lady is laid up with a cold in her head. ’ 
Defeated Candidate (gruffly)—“ Well, what of 
it? What do I care? " 
Independent Voter—"Well, before the elec¬ 
tion you used to ttiko me aside and ask me how 
my family was coming on, and I've been hunt¬ 
ing you all over town to tell you, and that’s 
the way you talk to me ! But it don’t make any 
difference. I voted for the other candidate any¬ 
how."
