REOM IjATOR, 
“Sally,” said a fellow to a girl who had 
red hair, “keep away from me, or you’ll set 
me on fire.” “No danger of that,” replied the 
girl, “you are too green to burn.”— Detroit 
Free Press. 
“Every tree is subject to a disease,” said a 
speaker in a fruit growers’ convention. “What 
ailment can you find on an oak?” asked the 
chairman. “A-corn,” was the triumphant 
reply.— Poston Globe, 
Sam Jones says: “Next to a pretty woman, 
I love a fast horse.” Wo don’t. When we are 
next to a pretty woman we want a slow horse 
—one of the kind you have to build a fire 
under to start him.— New Hampshire Patriot. 
“My dear, why are the eggs always hard at 
breakfast now?” asked Mr. Snaggs. “They 
must be eggs of the new hens,” replied Mrs. 
Snaggs, thoughtfully. “The new bens! Why 
should their eggs he hard?” “They are Ply¬ 
mouth Rocks, you know.”— Pittsburg Chron¬ 
icle. 
“Say, Mr. Railroad Man, if you ask all my 
corn is worth for hauling it to market, what 
do I take for my labor, my taxes, aud wear 
and tear of farming tools ? Do I take any¬ 
thing ?” Railroad Man—“Why, certainly, 
man. You can take the cobs.”— Philadelphia 
Call. 
A LITTLE “fresh-air child” at Elkland, who 
had never seen u cow before, was watching 
the milking process, with eyes full of astonish¬ 
ment. After looking on in silence for some 
time, she drew near and, placing her hand on 
the cow’s distended side, exclaimed: “Why! 
she’s chock-full of it, uiu’t she?”— Welhboro 
A (fit at or. 
“Dear me, I ate cucumbers for dinner and 
I can taste them yet,” exclaimed a man noted 
for his penuriousness, to his clerk, the other 
afternoon. “Well, there is one comfort," 
answered the clerk, you are certaiuly getting 
your money’s worth.” “That’s so,” replied 
the cucumber eater. “I didn’t think of 
that.”— Gazelle and Courier. 
A KouR-YKAR-oi.n boy remarked confiden¬ 
tially to the cook, the other day, that he 
would hate to be a chicken." “Why Rob?" 
“’Cause 1 would have to lay eggs, aud I don’t 
know how,” was the response. His little 
cousin gr^ycly propounded this conundrum: 
“Father, 'It cows are cattles, why are not 
calves kittles?”— Babyhood. 
How the Young Mind Thinks. —A little 
gii l made her advent in the infant class of a 
West St. Paul Sunday school, The desultory 
conversation on the part of the teacher was to 
show the existence of a Divine- Being anti His 
abode in heaven. The lesson was about over 
when the newcomer, who had been an atten¬ 
tive listener, said: “Does Dod live up there?” 
pointing out of the window to the expanse of 
beautiful blue that formed the sky overhead. 
“Yes," replied the teacher, “What teeps him 
from failin’trough ?” was the next question of 
the little scholar.— St, Paul Globe.
