When Maud discovered on her head 
The first gray hair she cried; 
But soon she wiped the tears av'>v— 
And then went off and dyed.

Teacher (severely): “Thomas, this 
map is ruled crooked, very crooked, in¬ 
deed!” Thomas: “I know it, mum. It’s 
a map of New York City, mum!”— 
Judge. 
Customer: “That last butter was 
rather strong.” Dealer: “Shouldn’t 
wonder. It was from a union dairy. In 
union there is strength, you know.”— 
Boston Transcript. 
“I SAW Jack Splurge to-day. He seems 
to be prosperous. Says his income now 
is out of sight.” “I should think it 
would be—he lives so far beyond it.” 
Philadelphia Record. 
"If a boy should strike you,” sug¬ 
gested the schoolmaster, “you would, of 
course, forgive him, would n’t yo u?” 
"Yes, sir,” he replied, “if I couldn’t 
catch him.”—Tit-Bits. 
Towne: “See that man? Well, sir, he 
landed in this country with bare feet, 
and now he’s got millions.” Browne: 
“Gee whizz! He’s worse than a centi¬

Customer: “You have a notice in your 
window: ‘A suit of clothes made while 
you wait.’ Do you really do that?” 
Tailor: “Yes, sir. You leave your order 
with a deposit, and then wait un¬ 
til the garments are made.”—Tit-Bits. 
“I WONDER what Eve said when she 
found she had to leave the garden of 
Eden,” said Mr. Grumpin’s wife. “It 
was just about what all women say when 
they are starting on a journey. She com¬ 
plained that she didn’t have a thing to 
wear.”—Washington Star.
