Miss Gotham: “What an elegant menu 
.they had!” Miss Chicago: “Did they? Well 
now, I didn’t notice it. You see, I was so 
busy sizing up the bill of fare.”— Life. 
Gold- handled umbrellas are coming into 
fashion. The handle is so arranged that it 
can be taken off. This is an improvement on 
the old style, where the entire umbrella was 
taken off.— Statesman. 
“Aren’t you tired of this vacation, ma?” 
asked a little fellow. “I am tired of the noise 
you make, that’s all.” “And I’m tired of the 
noise you make trying to stop the noise 1 
make.”— Hartford Post. 
She: “Why do you look so unhappy, 
George? Don’t you know we are one now?” 
He: “Yes, I’ve heard that before, but when 
it comes to paying the weekly board bill the 
landlord doesn’t seem to think so.”— Texas 
Siftings. 
A New York dealer in paper stock says that 
eight-tenths of the love letters found in the 
paper-rag bags are from women to actors, and 
these are always ground up into wrappers for 
bars of yellow soap, being so mushy.— Detroit 
Free Press. 
Reporter: “I’ve a good item here this 
morning. I found a person who had been con¬ 
fined to one room his entire life.” City Edi¬ 
tor: “Good. Write it right up. Who is it?” 
Reporter: “Why, a three-days-old baby down 
at our house.”— Judge. 
Catherine Owen has published a book 
called “Ten dollars enough.” She may think 
so now; but by the time she gets all the jet¬ 
trimming and stuff for the over-skirt, she will 
find that about ten dollars more are necessary, 
not including the dressmaker’s bill. Ten dol¬ 
lars are enough for the material, but the trim¬ 
ming and making cost like sixty.— Norris¬ 
town Herald. 
Some European ladies passing through Con¬ 
stantinople paid a visit to a certain high Turk¬ 
ish functionary. The host offered them re¬ 
freshments, including a great variety of sweet¬ 
meats, always taking care to give one of the 
ladies double the quantity he gave the others. 
Flattered by this marked attention, she put 
the question, through the interpreter: “Why 
do you serve me more liberally than the rest?' 5 
“Because you have a larger mouth,” was the 
straightforward reply.— Chamber's Journal.
