HUMOROUS 
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal he proud? 
A man puffcth up when, perchance in a 
crowd, 
At hop or reception girls jolly and prim 
All seem to he taking much notice of him. 
A glance surreptitious, a flickering smile 
He notes at each turn, as though coquetry's 
wile 
Were trained upon him. Then how cruel to 
find 
That his confounded necktie has worked up 
behind. 
—New York l’rcss. 
Rustic (to conductor) : “Which end 
of the car do I get oil?” Conductor (po¬ 
litely) : “Either you prefer; both ends 
stop !”—New Orleans Times-Dcmocrat. 
Fat Man: “Have you left the show 
business for good?” Indian Rubber Freak: 
"Bet yer life! There’s more money in let* 
tin’ automobiles run over me.”—Life. 
Parkes : “How is your auto getting 
on?” Lane: “Not at all. But I have 
made so many repairs on it that my sys¬ 
tem is full of oil, and I walk easier.”— 
Life. 
Painful: “Don’t you hate to see peo¬ 
ple throw away their money?” “Yes. The 
only thing that would reconcile me to the 
spectacle would be a chance to pick it up.” 
—Brooklyn Life. 
“Pa, what’s a sine qua non?” “Oh, 
pshaw! don’t ask me. I ain’t had my 
automobile long enough yet to learn 
about all those technical names yet.”— 
Chicago Record-Herald. 
“Can you gimme a bite, ma’am?” said 
the ragged hobo. “I’m hungry enuff ter 
eat a boss.” “I regret to say,” replied the 
kind lady, “that we arc just out of horses; 
but I’ll call the dog.”—Chicago News. 
“I never knew till now why this was 
such a windy country,” said the bright lit¬ 
tle girl traveling through Illinois. “And 
have you discovered why?” asked her 
father. “Of course. See all the windmills 
on these farms we’re passing.—Philadel¬ 
phia Ledger. 
“Mamma,” said the pretty, fluffy-haired 
girl, “I think 1 ought to go to cooking- 
school, don’t you?” “It isn’t necessary, 
my dear,” replied the mother. “I can 
teach you to cook.” “But that will never 
do, mamma,” protested the fair daughter, 
“you only know how to cook the ordinary 
things that people really cat.”—Cincinnati 
Enquirer.
