“Dear William, you ask me if I return 
your love. Yes, William, I have no use for 
it, and return it with many thanks. By-by, 
William.” 
An Iowa editor has been asked by a cor¬ 
respondent for an answer to the question, 
“Do hogs pay?” Looking over his subscription 
list, he finds they do not. 
An Irishman once received a doctor’s bill. 
He looked it carefully over, and said he had 
no objection to paring for the medicines; but 
the visits he woidd return. 
A little Alabama girl, three years old, on 
going to the window early one foggy morn¬ 
ing, cried out, “O, come here and look, mam¬ 
ma. The sky is all crammed down to the 
ground.” 
“I make it a rule to tell my wife every¬ 
thing that happens. In this way, we avoid 
any misunderstanding,” said a wiseacre to a 
friend. Not to be outdone in generosity, the 
good friend replied: “Well, sir, you are not so 
open and frank as I am, for I tell my wife a 
great many things that never happen.” 
An Irishman stopped at a hotel where pret¬ 
ty high bills were charged. In the morning 
the landlord made out the amount of dam¬ 
ages and presented it to Pat. After he had 
glanced it over, the latter looked the landlord 
in the face and exclaimed, “You put me in 
mind of a snipe.” “Why?” asked the land¬ 
lord. “Because ye’re pretty nigh all bilk”
