“What is this, my son?” asked a fond 
parent. “ Your school report of last month 
said: ‘Conduct—exemplary,’ while for this 
month it reads, ‘ Conduct execrable. 1 What 
did you do?” “Just what I did the month 
before, only the master noticed me. ” 
And even now things go wrong in Oirland! 
Scene—An Irish cabin; Pat is ill; doctor has 
just called—“Well, Pat, have you taken the 
box of pills I seut you?” “Yes, sir, be jabers, 
I have; but I don’t feel any better yet; may¬ 
be the lid hasn’t come off yet?” 
A lady of fashion of advanced age required 
the services of a page boy, and advertised 
“ Youth wanted. ” One of her dearest friends 
sent her by the next, post a bottle of Blank’s 
celebrated wrinkle filler and skin tightener, 
a pot of fairy bloom, a set of false teeth, a 
flaxen wig, and a cake of iodine soap. 
A CRUSTY old curmudgeon, who was laugh¬ 
ing over something in his newspaper, being 
reproached by his wife for not reading it 
aloud so she could share in the enjoyment, 
testily said: “OhI fudge, my dear; a thing 
that’s funny enough to make only one laugh 
would be dreadfully stupid if divided between 
two.”
