Do you know you came very near shooting me, when you fired your gun ?” 
Farmer—( who mistook her hat for a bird.) “ Well, mar’tn ; if yer will go prowling around with

“Doctor, my daughter seems to be going 
blind, and she’s just getting ready for the wed¬ 
ding, too ! 0, dear, what is to be done ?” “ Let 
her go right on with the wedding, madam, by 
all means. If anything can open her eyes, 
marriage will." 
One test of a great mind is its instantaneous 
availability in an emergency. The boy who can 
drop a paper bag of eggs on tbe sidewalk and 
pass on without changing his gait, interrupting 
his whistle or looking at what he has dropped, 
has a future before him. 
Much has been written against the accordeon, 
but tbe first evening after a young man who 
practiced on one moved into the second floor of 
a house, a smile lit up the face of the aged gen¬ 
tleman who lay in sickness on the floor above. 
Ho said that ho was now reconciled to death. 
“Mu. Blank appointed a foreign minister, eh?” 
remarked old Mrs, CJ., as she glanced up from 
the paper she was reading. “Why, he’s no 
minister! Jfo’s only a lawyer, and they say he 
can swear like a pirate.” And she stopped read¬ 
ing to meditate ujwn the degeneracy of the pulpit. 
The gleam of joy that illumines a man’s face 
as he feels in his vest pocket and thinks he has 
got just one match left to light his cigarette 
with, is only equalled by the look of dire de¬ 
spair that settles upon his brow when he finds 
that that match is only a second-hand tooth¬ 
pick.
