“I love you well,” the stamp exclaimed, 
“ Dear envelope so true; 
In fact It’s evident to all 
That I am stuck on you.” 
— Minneapolis Tribune. 
A water course —Hydropathy.— Puck. 
A REPORTER’S OUTFIT— A note book and 
all necessary impertinences.— Puck. 
Mrs. H., mistaking a mirror for a door 
and suddenly starting back. Mr. H. 
(laughing): “Why didn’t you go 
through, my dear ? ” Mrs. H. : “ Upon 
reflection, I thought I had better not.”— 
Prick. 
“ What’s the outlook in Rhode Island ? ” 
asked a Pittsburgh man of a friend who 
had just returned from that State. “The 
outlook?” he replied. “Why that’s all 
there is in Rhode Island .”—Pittsburgh 
Chronicle. 
Young Firebrand : “WhatI are they keeping you on a milk diet yet ? Why don’t 
you kick ? ” 
Younger Firebrand : “I did, an’ I got meat an’ crackers the very next day 1 ” 
“ Where the Fair should be held.” 
Lawyer: “Do you swear positively, 
sir, that you know more than half this 
jury ? ” Witness: “ Yes, sir, and now that 
I have taken a good look at ’em I’ll swear 
that I know more than all of ’em—put to¬ 
gether. *7— Puck. 
Ethel (copying her musical exercise): 
“Mamma, what does ‘andante’ mean on 
this music ? ” Mamma: “ Anne Dante is 
the name of the composer, of course. Her 
brother wrote a poem called ‘ Dante’s In¬ 
ferno.’ ”— Pick-Me-Up. 
Mr. Prettyboy: “Miriam, if you will 
be mine, our bliss will know no alloy.” 
Miriam Smelt (whose father is a gold re¬ 
finer): “ No, Mr. Prettyboy; papa assures 
me that anything above 18 carats fine 
doesn’t wear well.”— Jewelers' Weekly. 
He : “ Do you read the current fiction 
of the day ?" She: “Not very extensive¬ 
ly, I am ashamed to say. However, I did 
wade through ‘Robert Elsinere,’ and I in¬ 
tend to read this ‘Pigs in Clover’ that 
every body is talking about.”— Burlington 
Free Press. 
A CLERGYMAN relates that he was once 
completely nonplussed by a youngster at a 
christening. The child having been taken 
to church to be baptized, was so much 
disconcerted at the minister’s sprinkling 
his face that he interrupted him by ex¬ 
claiming : “ Stop ! I won’t play \"—Ameri¬ 
can. 
Snaggs : “ So you have been living in 
Kansas since I saw you last. How did you 
like it out there ? ” Boggs: “I didn’t like 
it at all. I had no sooner taken up my res¬ 
idence there than the cyclone did likewise.” 
Snaggs: “Did what?” Boggs: “Took 
up my residence—and carried it into the 
next county.”— Texas Siftings. 
Invalid from Philadelphia : “Yes, my 
health is improving, but I think I grow 
more homesick every day.” Neighbor: 
“And is there nothing we can do?” 
“Well: it’s only my fancy, I know—but 
if you and the others on the street would 
only send the girls out every morning to 
scrub the door-steps 1 ''—Texas Siftings. 
“ I HOPE you will pardon my late arrival,” 
said the young man, as he seated himself in 
the easiest chair. “ I forgot my umbrella 
and had to stand in a stairway until the 
shower was over. ” “ That’s one on you, Jen¬ 
nie,” shouted Tommy, in great glee. “I 
told you so. Of course he had sense enough 
to go in when it rained.” And the silence, 
like a soft hat, was plainly felt.— Terre
