Jack and Harry, hunting trouble, 
Tried to run Dad’s auto-bubble— 
Dad found some shreds of cuffs and collars, 
And sighed, “There goes a thousand dollars!” 
—Life. 
Assistant: “The politician is coming 
in to get shaved. Which razor must 1 
use?” Barber: “The one with the biggest 
pull. Next!’—Baltimore Herald. 
First Doctor : “Then we decide not to 
operate.” Second Doctor: “Yes. What 
do you think we ought to charge him for 
deciding not to operate?”—Brooklyn Life. 
Bystander : “I expected to see you 
shoot that Boston man when he gave you 
the lie.” Georgian: “He didn’t give me 
the lie. lie only said that in his judgment 
1 was habitually untruthful.”—Somerville 
Journal. 
“You'll take a couple of tickets, of 
course. We’re getting up a raffle for a 
poor cripple in our neighborhood-” 
“None for me, thank you. I wouldn’t 
know what to do with a poor cripple if I 
won him.”—Philadelphia Press 
“How is Professor Bobolink coming on 
witli his investigations of the poison of 
the rattlesnake?” “No results. He had 
a fine specimen of rattler; drank a quart 
of whisky-—” “And then?” “The snake 
wouldn't bite him.”—Indianapolis News. 
“What are you studying now?” asked 
Mrs. Cumrox. “We have taken up the 
subject of molecules,” answered her son. 
“I hope you will be very attentive and 
practice constantly. I tried to get your 
father to wear one, but he couldn’t make

The Man Who Owns It: “What do 
they say about my new hall?” Neighbor: 
"Why, they all say it is fitted up in fine 
shape, only its acoustics are not good.” 
The Man Who Owns It: “I don’t see 
how that could be. I paid for the best 
of everything. However, if the acoustics, 
as you call ’em ain’t what they ought to 
be, we’ll take ’em out and put in some 
other ones.”—Boston Transcript. 
An Irishman and an Englishman were 
recounting feats of physical prowess. The 
Englishman, by way of showing his 
strength, said that he was accustomed to 
swim across the Thames three times be¬ 
fore breakfast every morning. “Well,” 
said the Irishman, “that may be all right, 
but it do seem to me that your clothes 
would be on the wrong side of the river 
all the time.”—New York Times.
