Little Dot, upon seetnR at dinner for the 
first tine, corn boiled on the cob, said: “Mam¬ 
ma, I’ll take a bone of corn, please.” 
“Iiow do you define black as your hat?’said 
a schoolmaster to one of his pupils. “Dark¬ 
ness that may lie felt,” replied the youthful 
wit. 
“Ykh. 1 am pretty tired,” he said. “I sat 
up all nijfht with a corpse.” “Was it a wake?” 
asked a friend. “No,” he answered sadly, “it 
was not awake, it was dead.” 
“Tilat’e a pretty bird, grandma,” said a 
little boy. “Yes.” replied the old dame, “and 
he never cries.” “That’s because he’s never 
washed!” replied the youngster. 
At a convent where light literature is for¬ 
bidden: “My child, what are you reading?’ 
“The life of one of the saints, Mister.” “What 
saint, my chile ?” “St. Elmo!!!” Sister passes 
on to the next dormitory. 
“Dm you see my antelope as you came in?” 
asked Claribell. “No,” unswored Adolphus, 
“but if it’s the one with the curls around her 
forehead, 1 pity the man she eloped with.” 
And now he wonders why she acted so coldly. 
Miss Tayleur (to Miss Sraythe): “1 want 
to introduce to you Mr. Nailsley. back there, 
who thinks you are so awfully handsome. 
You know of him, don’t you? lie is very 
amusing and eccentric—never thinks as any¬ 
one else docs.” 
“Inquirer.” No, an intelligence office is 
not a place to look for intelligence. The name 
is entirely irrelevant. But if you want a 
green house-girl whom you will have to teach 
all she will ever know, that is the place to go. 
Mrs. Sympkrson is quite a young woman, 
and is the mother of u precocious little girl. 
There was company at the house a few even¬ 
ings ago. When l ed time arrived Mrs. Bym- 
person said: “Come, now, Mamie, it’s time 
for you to go to bed.” “I don't want to go to 
bed.” “But you must. Don’t you kuow all the 
little chickens.have gone to bed?’ “Yes, but 
the old hen went to bed with them.” 
“I’m so grateful for your kindness, sir!” 
“Don’t mention it, I beg of you,” ho ejaculated 
gallantly. Very likely the unsophisticated 
muideti misuuderstood the motive of his re¬ 
mark, for she quickly answered in a reassuring 
tone: “Oh, I certainly won’t, sir, as long as I 
live, il' you don’t wish me to!” 
“Mother, may I go to seo the base ball 
game thin afternoon?” “No, Johnny. You've 
been to see several games already. We can’t 
afford so much expense. Just imagine you 
see it; that will do you just as well.” “All 
right, mother.” “That’s a good boy. Now 
ruu and bring me a bucket of coal right 
quickly.” “Just miagiue you see a bucket of 
coul siltin’ there, mother; it will do just as 
much good.” Then Johnny imagined he saw 
his mother reaching for the strap and he flew 
out after the coal like a good boy. 
“Dm you see this shouting?” asked his hon¬ 
or. “Yes, sir; 1 did.” “Well, how was it?” 
“Well, Judge, this gentleman uud I wcregoiDg 
along, and the young man who was shot was 
whistling ‘Sweet Violets,’ when, suddenly 
remembering himself, he exclaimed, ‘Shoot 
me!’ Ami my friend, being a very obliging 
person, shot him." “And you are sure the 
man was whistling ‘Sweet Violets' at the time?” 
“Yes, .1 udge,” “The prisoner is discharged.’’
