“Have you noticed, Papa, how often 
Mamma says, ‘And so on, and so on’ ?” 
“Yes, my boy; but it never applies to 
buttons.”— The Australasian. 
Child: “And how do they know it’s a 
man in the moon, Mamma, dear?” 
Mother: “Because it’s always out at 
night, darling!”— Tit-Bits. 
“My uncle grows strawberries so big 
that six will fill a quart box.” “I’d be 
ashamed to have an uncle who would 
use that kind of quart boxes.”— Chicago 
Record. 
Sunday-School Teacher: “Now, 
Willie Green, you may tell me what you 
understand by ‘the future state.’ ” Willie 
Green: “Please, ma’am, it’s a territory.” 
—Catholic Standard and 'Times. 
Your son,” said the school teacher, “is 
very backward in his studies.” “That’s 
funny,” mused the father. “At home, in 
conversation with me, he seems to know 
it all.”— Philadelphia North American. 
Mrs. Boardem: “How do you find the 
chicken soup, Mr. Boarder?” Mr. Board¬ 
er: “I have no difficulty in finding the 
soup, Madam, but I am inclined to think 
the chicken will prove an alibi.”— Credit 
Lost. 
Mrs. Newcomb (who is anxious for 
supper): “What can your grandfather be 
doing, Willie?” Willie (visiting at the 
farm): “I left him pumping the cow, 
Grandma, when I came in.”— Trained 
Motherhood. 
Wife: “Where is your gamebag?” 
Hunter: “Filled with rabbits, my dear, 
and so heavy that I gave it to the porter 
to carry home. Here he comes, now. 
But where are the rabbits I shot?” Por¬ 
ter: “Please, sir, they didn’t have any 
rabbits, so I got eels instead.”— Fliegende 
Blaetter.
