They say that he’s as green as grass, 
And that, of course, explains 
That like the grass he fails, alas! 
To come in when it rains. 
—Phila. Record. 
Tommy: “Pa, 
which if 
^ heaviest. 
lead or gold?” 
Mr. Fi 
,°'“Gold, of 
course. It’s ever 
so mucl 
^der to pick 
up.”—Tit-Bits. 
“I AM surprised to h' 
c^hat Mr. Wa- 
ters was drowned; I '-aght he was 
such a good swimme.' ^“Yes, but he 
had just eaten some wife’s trial 
biscuits.”—The King o,;^ 
He: ‘‘They can ph- ^raph the voice 
now.” She: ‘‘Goodness! I hope I’ll never 
live to see a picture of the things you 
say when your collar button drops down 
your back.”—Christian Endeavor World. 
Agent: “You really ought to buy one 
of these new machines, and try to keep 
up with the times.” Farmer: “Bless yer 
life, I ain’t a-tryin’ t’ keep up with th’ 
times; I’m t-tryin’ to keep up with th’ 
weeds.”—Chicago Record-Herald. 
“I HAVE heard,” remarked the student 
of social problems, “that in marriage it 
doesn’t cost any more for two to live 
than for one.” “Say,” said the married 
man with a worried look, “were you ever 
the father of twins?”—Philadelphia 
Record. 
Pikey: “And just because you had 
lost your nickel the conductor made you 
get off the car and walk all the wav 
home?” Bilkey: “Oh, no. He only put 
me off. I could have sat by the road¬ 
side all night if I had wanted to.”—Bal¬ 
timore World. 
“My being a good musician saved my 
life the last time the levee gave way,” 
said Mrs. Mississippi. “Why, how was 
that?” said Mrs. Boston. “Well, you 
see, my husband floated down the river 
on the stove”— “Well?” “I accompanied 
him on the piano.”—Judge. 
McJigger: “Did you ever notice what 
frightfully bad grammar some of our 
statesmen use?” Thingumbob: “Yes, I 
suppose they do their best to imitate 
Washington.” McJigger: “What non¬ 
sense! Washington was a cultured 
man.” Thingumbob: “And yet there is 
no doubt that he slaughtered the King’s 
English.”—Philadelphia Press.
