HUMOROUS 
S;tid a muscular Moslem of Muscat 
To his cat, “Cat, you can’t catch a musk 
rat, 
And when it is plain 
That a cat can't obtain 
A muskrat at Muscat, cat must scat.” 
—Life. 
“Do you think that the governor’s re¬ 
marks were spontaneous, grandma?” 
“Worse. They were positively scan- 
d’lous.”—Detroit Free Press. 
“Br’ek Williams, don’t you think you 
pass de hat roun’ too frequent?” Tain't 
my hat, suh ;—dat’s why I risk it wid de 
congregation !”—Atlanta Constitution. 
He: “I suppose Miss Elderleigh is 
what you would call a girl of uncertain 
years, is she not?” She: “No, indeed. 
She has been the same age for at least 
10 years.”—Chicago News. 
Patent Medicine Proprietor: “Did 
that chap we sent the gross of medicine 
to send us a testimonial?” Secretary: 
“Well, no—but we got cards of thanks 
from several of his heirs!”—Puck. 
Silas: “What is old Rube so hot 
about?” Cyrus: “Why, an artist asked 
if he could paint his cows.” Silas: “That 
didn’t hurt tlie cows, did it ?” Cyrus: 
“Yes, by heck! He painted a sarsaparilla 
sign on each one.”—Philadelphia Record. 
“Do you mean to say you didn’t give 
that horse thief a trial by jury?” “We 
didn’t dare,” answered Broncho Bob. “If 
anything as unusual as a trial took place, 
the whole town ’ud turn out to see it, 
and some one would be sure to sneak in 
and steal some more horses.”—Washing¬ 
ton Star.
