HUMOROUS 
If an S and an I and an O and a U, 
With an X at the end, spell Su, 
And an 1C and a Y and 10 spell an 1, 
Pray, what is the speller to do? 
'I'lien if also an S and an I and a G 
And an 11 E D spell cide, 
'I'lieie's not much left for the speller to do 
Pul to go and commit Siouxeyesighed.

Tub Motiikr: “Bobbie, didn’t yonr 
conscience tell you that you had done 
wrong?” Bobbie: “Yes’m; but 1 don’t 
liolieve everything I hear.”—Philadel¬ 
phia Ledger. 
“Too bad about Dr. Killum falling in¬ 
to the well, wasn’t it?” “Serves him 
right. He should have attended to the 
sick and left the well alone.”—Melbourne 
Australasian. 
“Do your neighbors keep chickens?’ 
“No,” answered the suburban citizen; 
“that’s just the trouble. They don’t 
keep ’em. They turn ’em loose.”— 
Washington Star. 
“Now, Johnny,” said the teacher, who 
had been describing a warship to the 
class, “how is the deck divided?” “A 
deck is divided.” replied the bright boy, 
“into spades, hearts, diamonds and 
clubs.”—Philadelphia Press. 
“Wonder why Van Major is always 
referring to his ‘velvet lawn’?” “He’s 
got a right to. He told me that with 
the grass seed he has sown and the new 
sod he’s bought it has cost him just 
$4.75 a yard.”—Cincinnati Commercial 
Tribune. 
Mamma: “You must be awfully care¬ 
ful, darling. The doctor says your sys¬ 
tem is all upset.” Little Dot: “Yes, 1 
guess it is, mamma, ’cause my foot’s 
asleep, and people must be terribly upset 
when they go to sleep at the wrong end.” 
—Credit Lost 
Horticulturist (on his travels): 
“Are you having any trouble in this part 
of the country with the San Josd 
scale?” Stage Driver: “I can’t say for 
certain, but I think I heerd some of the 
boys say the bosses had refused to sign 
it.”—Chicago Tribune. 
“Wal,” said Farmer Wilkins to his 
city boarder, who was up early and look¬ 
ing round, “ben out to hear the haycock 
crow, I s’pose?” and he winked at the 
hired man. “No,” replied the city board¬ 
er, “I’ve been out tying a knot in a cord 
of wood.”—Browning’s Magazine. 
“Speaking of bad falls,” remarked 
Joggers, “I fell out of a window once, 
and the sensation was terrible. During 
my transit through the air 1 really be¬ 
lieve I thought of every mean act I ever 
comniitled in my life.” “H’m!” growl¬ 
ed Jiggers, “you must have fallen an 
awful distance.”—St. Louis Star. 
Visitor: "So you were shipwrecked 
and came near starving?” Mariner: 
“Yes, mum, and I had to cat a whisk 
broom and the sawdust out of a cush¬ 
ion.” Visitor: “It must have been a ter¬ 
rible dose.” Mariner: “Not so bad, 
mum. Yer see I had been used to eatin’ 
health foods.”—Chicago Daily News.

GLOBE

to balance a ration. It will produce more milk 
and keep your stock in better condition than 
any other feed. It has none of the heating 
qualities of other corn feeds—the only pi'oper 
feed for Summer Aveather. 
For horses it is cheaper than oats, and 
better than corn; contains all the ingredients 
for producing hone and sinew; should he 
mixed with bran.
