“John, I wish it was as much the fashion to 
trade wives as it is to trade horses." “Why 
so, Peter?” “I’d cheat somebody most shock¬ 
ing bad before night,” 
“Papa,” said a lad the other night, after 
attentively studying for some minutes an en¬ 
graving of a human skeleton, “how did this 
man manage to keep in his dinner?” 
A young Yorkville physician, who bad just 
established himself and has very little practice, 
iB noted for his braggadocia. One of the older 
physicians meeting him on the street, recently, 
asked him how he was coming on. “I’ve got 
more than I can attend to,” was bis boastful 
reply. “I had to get out of my bed six times 
last night.” “Why don't you buy some insect 
powder?” said the old doctor. 
A Pontiac little boy was told at Sunday 
school that when he died he would leave his 
body here. After his return home he was 
much troubled in regard to it, and questioned 
his parents. His mother explained by saying: 
“You will take all the good with you, but 
leave all that’s naughty here below.” He 
thought a moment, and looking up said; 
“Well, I guess I’ll be awfully thin when I 
get there. ” _

for In less than two mon’b i* use of thr Bitters, my 
wife was cured, and she b<is remained no for eighteen 
months since. I like such humbugging. -H. T., St
