CAR-FARE. 
Have you ever watched the warfare 
Of two women over carfare? 
Each aflame with generous feeling , 
Depth of heart and purse revealing ; 
Each inspired ivith gentle horror 
Lest the other should pay for her? 
But take note—the more insistent 
Of the combatants jiersistent, 
She whose hand most promptly snatches 
At her pocket-book's stiff catches, 
She who murmurs: “ Don't be strange, dear, 
It's all right, I've got the change dear! ” 
She—though I am sad to say it — 
Always lets the other pay it! 
—Madeline S. Bridges, in Puck. 
“Passengers are not allowed to stand on 
the ‘L’ car platforms ; they are compelled 
to.”— Puck.

Julia: “Mamma, Mr. Dolly insulted me 
awhile ago. He called me a pig. ” Mamma (in¬ 
dignantly): “Tell me his exact words.” Julia:

in clover.”— Puck. 
“Mr. B- Did you say or did you not say 
what I said you said? Because C-said you 
said you never did say what I said you said. 
Now, if you did say that you did not say what 
I said you said, then what did you say?”— The 
Courier. 
“ Mr. President,” said a caller, “ I do not 
want an office.” “1 am very glad to see you,”

crat.”— Puck. 
Mrs. Harris (looking up from a letter): J 
“ Pm so glad that we sent Harry to Yale. I 
knew he would make his mark. He says that 
he is already considered one of the best 
scholars in the college.” Mr Harris: “Let 
me see that letter. That isn’t ‘ scholars ’ it is 
‘ scullers.”— Chicago Herald.' 
‘What a wonderful painter Rubens was, 
remarked Merritt at the art gallery. “Yes,” 
assented Cora. “It is said of him that he 
could change a laughing face into a sad one 
by a single stroke.” “Why,” spoke up little 
Johnnie, in disgust, “my school teacher can 
do that.”— Burlington Free Press. 
Lady Thyra, reading catalogue: “Two 
dogs, after Landseer.” Lady Myra: “But 
where is Landseer? I don’t see him.” Lady 
Tbyra: “Why, surely, you don’t suppose he 
would stay there with those two ferocious- 
lookiug brutes alter him. I know I shouldn’t 
if I were in his place.”— Burlington Free 
Press. 
It was Bilk ins’s wedding day, and he was 
teasing his kid brother-in-law. “Well John¬ 
nie,” he said, solemnly, “I’m going to take 
your sister away off and have her all to my¬ 
self, where you won’t see her any more.” “No! 
Really, are you?" said the kid, curiously. 
“Yes.I am. What uo you think of it?” “Noth¬ 
ing. I guess I can stand it if you can.”— 
Michigan Farmer. 
An old negro stood watching the electric 
cars as they glided along through the streets 
of Richmond without visible power. He evi¬ 
dently regarded them as “a rash intrusion.” 
and thus soliloquized: “Dar now! what is 
the white folks gwine to do next? Dey done 
’scard de nigger, aud now gwine drap de poor 
mule.”— Youth's Companion.
