“I RECKON Josh’ll make his mark in 
the world one of these days,” said the 
fond mother. “Mebbe he will,” answer¬ 
ed Farmer Corntossel; “but I can’t help 
wishin’ I could git him to take hold of 
a hoe an’ put a few dints into it by way 
of practice.”—Washington Star. 
“That Summer boarder caught some 
fish this morning,” said Mrs. Corntossel. 
“Says he threw his line into a school of 
’em.” “Any fish that was foolish 
enough to let him catch ’em didn’t be¬ 
long to a school,” rejoined her husband. 
“That must have been an asylum.”— 
Washington Star. 
“What is that ma said to you when 
you came in?” whispered young Bobby 
to Featherly, one of the invited. “Oh, 
simply that she was delighted to see 
me; that was all, Bobby.” “I’m glad 
of it,” said Bobby, and a look of genu¬ 
ine relief came over his face, “ cause 
she said this morning she hoped you 
wouldn’t come.”—Tit-Bits.

for 50 consecutive runs; the 
other the recent competitive
