“What! is it possible you don’t know any¬

but it will be difficult to get such a Bo-az Ruth 
had.”— Harper's Bazar. 
“Why, Miss Perkins,” said young Vertebra,

A little girl out visiting was given the 
album of family photographs to look at while 
the hostess attended to other affairs. “Well, 
dear,” asked the latter on returning, “did you

’zactly like it, only the pictures are prettier.” 
— Traveler's Record. 
A stranger visiting Liverpool was being 
shown round by a native who said: “Now let’s 
go and see the Widows’ Home.” The stranger 
put his finger to the side of his nose and wink¬

silenced, but only for a moment: “Well, ma,” 
he said, “grandma is a good deal older than 
you are.”— Farm, Field and Stockman.
