These are the days, the sweaty days, 
And this the melting weather. 
When postage stamps, like comrades true. 
Steadfastly stick together.

A Suggestion to Old Maids: Little Allie

she was, she replied: “I'se just next to what I

Being asked w'hat sect is the most numer¬ 
ous, Prof. Natbitt, now on his outing, says

This is the order which a little girl brought 
into a druggist’s store the other day. It was 
writen on a dirty piece of note-paper as 
follows: “Mister Druggist: Please send ipecac

Western Rural. 
Naming The Baby— New Yorker: “I con¬ 
gratulate you on the latest acquisition to your

He was a farmer’s boy and very little. His 
father was pulling off his stockings one even,

Freddy bad witnessed the process of treating 
ripened corn and replied: “ He’s huskin’his

Puns on names are generally tabooed, but 
here are two worth repeating. 4 noted

arrived, except Mr. More, but knowing his 
queer ways, the hostess did not wait for him. 
After she was seated some time, a huge enve¬ 
lop was banded her, in which she found an 
enormous leaf of a sycamore tree. The inter¬ 
pretation was : “Sick—A. More.”— Colorado
