Miss Mary Malinda McVeagh, 
Who-still had a sweet, girlish weagh, 
Wept rivers when she 
(At fifty and three) 
Found out that they called her passeagh ! 
—New Orleans Time-Democrat. 
Gladys (who cannot think of the word 
stile) : “Mamma, can I go and sit on the 
fashion?”—New York Times. 
Hicks : “Toggles shaves without a look¬ 
ing-glass ! What do you think of that?” 
Wicks: You can’t blame him, with such 
a face as he has.”—Boston Transcript. 
“His wife is an ardent temperance 
worker, isn’t she?” “Yes; she won’t 
travel in the West because she heard that 
the climate is stimulating.”—Cleveland 
Leader. 
Mrs. Homer: “—Have you noticed 
how weary and worried Mrs. Goodwin 
looks of late?” Mrs. Neighbor: “Yes, 
poor thing; she has quit doing her own 
work and is trying to keep a hired girl.”- 
Chicago Daily News. 
Mrs. Ruralles: “Your place is so large 
I wonder you don’t keep fowls. It is so 
nice to have fresh eggs every day.” Mrs. 
Clyde: “But fowls are such a bother. 
Why couldn’t we keep an incubator in¬ 
stead?”—Brooklyn Life. 
Farmer (to lady) : “Have you seen my 
bull?” Lady: “Mercy, no! Where is 
he ” Farmer: “He got loose. And if 
you should see him will you please keep 
on that there red cloak and run this way?” 
—Colorado Weekly Times. 
“Isn’t this climate changeable?” asked 
the newcomer. “No,” answered the old 
inhabitant, rather brusquely. “It ain’t 
changeable. If it was, don’t you s’pose 
we’d have traded it off for somethin’ else 
long ago?”—Washington Star.
