HUMOROUS 
“Whenebber a man gibs me a whole 
lot o’ advice,” said Uncle Eben, “I can’t 
help s’picionin’ dat if his opinions was 
so valuable he’d be busy somewha’ else 
countin’ money.”—Washington Star. 
Dyspepsia Specialist (irritably): 
“But, madam, you must chew your food. 
What were your teeth given you for?” 
Female patient (calmly): “They weren’t 
given to me—I bought ’em.”—Credit 
Lost. 
Ducker: “What’s this I hear, Major? 
You are going to marry again! You told 
me that the light of your life had gone 
out!” Gay Widower: “Quite so; but 
now, you see, I am going to strike an¬ 
other match.'—Punch. 
Stranger: “What wonderful tales old 
Blinks relates! He must have been a 
great traveler in his day.” Native: “He 
was never outside the county in his life, 
but, you see, his mind has wandered for 
years.”—Chicago News. 
Minister (to one of his members, a 
venerable old gardener): “You have 
reached a great age, John.” John: 
“Deed ha’e I, sir, for gin I leeve till the 
11th o’ next month, I’ll be an otogeran- 
ium.”—Glasgow Evening Times. 
Father of the Pastor (after the ser¬ 
mon): “How Horace has changed since 
he was a baby!” The Mother: “What 
an idea! Of course he has changed.” 
Father: “Wnat I mean is that when he 
was a baby he used to keep me awake.” 
—Boston Transcript. 
Biggs: “I had no idea old Graspit was 
a philanthropist until I saw him circu¬ 
lating a petition yesterday for the pur¬ 
pose of raising money to enable a poor 
widow to pay her rent.” Diggs: “Oh, 
Graspit’s all right. He owns the house 
the poor widow lives in.”—Chicago Daily 
News. 
“Suppose,” said the _ man with the 
morbid imagination, “that the trusts 
make everything so expensive that the 
public can’t afford to buy; what then?” 
“Now, what’s the use of talking non¬ 
sense?” answered the business man. 
“All the fun a trust has is taking peo¬ 
ple’s money from them. When they get 
all the money, they’ll simply have to 
give a lot of it out again or stop the 
whole amusement.”—Washington Star.

The Finishing 
Touch 
to a building estimate is to 
specify M F Roofing Tin. It 
is the best 2'oofing material 
—perhaps just a little more 
costly at first; but it will 
last more than half a 
century; will not rust, 
or leak. It is the 
worldk standard 
for roofing tin. 
F 
Roofing Tin 
is made by tbe old-style 
hand process. It carries 
a very heavy coating of 
pure tin and new lead. 
Kvery sheet is carefully 
inspected and only perfect 
plates sold. This @ mark 
stamped on every sheet.
