not quite enough for two.— Michigan Farmer. 
Customer (to Mr. Isaacstein): “The coat is 
about three sizes too big.” Mr. Isaacstein (im¬ 
pressively): “Mine frent, dat coat make you 
so proud you vill grow into it.”— Life. 
If there is anything in a name, we suppose 
that an uptown apartment house is called the 
Crescent because it is never full.— Fuck. 
Irate Student: “Don’t you ever sweep 
under the bed, I’d like to know?” Calm 
“Goody”: “I always do; I prefer it to a dust¬ 
pan.”— Harvard Lampoon. 
“Give me two pounds of exasperated ap¬ 
ples.” said an old lady to the grocer. He 
weighed out two pounds of evaporated apples

Prof. Proctor figures that the earth is 
shrinking about two inches a year. That ac¬

some people to possess it while it is of some 
size.— Buffalo Express. 
She was decorating her room with pictures,

high.'’— Otago Witness. 
Eminent scientist: “The planetary indi¬

And there was.— Boston Beacon. 
A YOUNG man from college, calling on a

“What kind of a cuss, sir?”— Indiana Farmer. 
Boarder: “Seems to me that this chicken 
must be rather a peculiar breed.” Boarding¬

it’s a genuine Plymouth Hock.” “My! my! 
came over in the Mayflower, eh?”— Peck's Sun. 
A little girl has an uncle who has taught 
her to open and shut his crush hat. The other 
evening, however, he appeared with an or¬ 
dinary silk one. Suddenly he saw the child

very hard 1 I’ve had to sit on it, but I can’t 
get it more than half shut.”— Cornwall Reflect¬ 
or. 
Editor (to assistant): “In this obituary 
notice, Mr. Getaroundlate, you say his many 
friends will shed a tear. Shed a tear is a 
trifle weak.” Assistant: “ How would shed a 
tear or two answer?” Editor (dubiously): 
“That’s not much of an improvement.” As¬
