Landlord (showing apartments) “ It’s so 
cool and breezy up here—and then, you know, 
you’re so much nearer Heaven.” Prospective 
Tenant—“Ye-es; but how about the fire es* 
capes ? It’s queer, though, that the nearer 
Heaven you get the more you need them.”— 
Puck. 
Mr. Isaacstein :“ Shacob, my boy, choost 
try on dis coat for dot shentlemans so he sees 
vat it looks like.” Customer (after Jacob has 
the coat_on): “I don’t like it, Isaacstein; it 
looks Dutchy.” Mr. Isaacstein (earnestly): 
“My frant, it vasn’t de coat vot looks Dutchy^ 
dot vas Shacob.”— New York Sun. 
First Lincoln Man: “Where did you get 
that suit you wear? It fits sublimely. ” “I 
bought a stick of chewing gum and it was 
thrown in as a premium.” “And where did 
that diamond pin you are wearing come 
from?” “It was given to me with a plug of 
chewing tobacco.”— Lincoln Journal. 
YounctWoman (blushing violently): “Are 
you the gentleman who. has charge of the ad¬ 
vertising department of the paper, sir?’ 
Clerk: “Yes, miss; what can Ido for you?’ 
Young Woman: “I—er—want to advertise a 
—second-hand typewriter for sale. I shall 
have no further use for it.”— Tid Bits. 
Griggs (in Sixth Avenue street car): “I 
thought you always got off at Forty-second 
Street, Spriggs.” Spriggs: “1 do, but when I 
got up to leave that pretty little thing with a 
new spring bonnet thanked me so sweetly for 
my seat that I am going to stand here and 
look tired all the way up to the Park, if I lose 
my dinner.”— Texas Siftings. 
Guest (registering, to hotel clerk): “I am 
Editor Styggles, of the Buckville Gazette, but 
1 haven’t—er—any baggage with me.” Clerk 
(hospitably)): “Glad to see you, editor; that 
won’t make the slightest difference.” Guest: 
“My not having any baggage?” Clerk: “No, 
your being Editor Styggles, of the Buckville 
Gazette. Two dollars, please.”— The Epoch. 
Mary: “Don’t you dislike to. have a man 
talk shop when he comes to see you?” Jen¬ 
nie: “Indeed, Ido! Who’s been talking shop 
to you?” Mary: “Oh, my young man. He’s 
a street-car conductor, you know, and nearly 
every time he comes to see me he gets off hi 
shop talk.” Jennie: “What does he say?’ 
Mary: “Sit closer, please.”— Burlington Free 
Press. 
A young lady who has been reading up on 
agriculture writes to an exchange as follows: 
“I am not a farmer’s daughter, and I don’t 
wish to be. I prefer the city to the country 
any day. I presume it is nice enough in sum¬ 
mer, but in winter I don’t imagine it to be 
very pleasant harvesting the winter wheat 
and picking the winter apples. I don’t think 
any of you country girls can deny that-”— 
Woman. 
Tourist: “My physician has advised me 
to locate where I may get the south wind; 
does it ever blow here?” Native: “Well, I 
may say as you’re lucky to have come to this 
place; the south wind always blows here.” 
Tourist: “Always? But it seems to be blow¬ 
ing from the north now.” Native: “Oh, it 
may be coming from that direction now, but 
it’s the south wind; it’s coming back you 
know.”— Binghamton (N. Y.) Republican.
