“Dt> you call that painless < ^>try?” 
asked the irate patient. ‘ linly,’’ 
replied the dentist. “It did urt me 
at all.”—Chicago Post. ^ 
Teacher: “What is a^^ionym?” 
Bright Boy: “It’s a word^ a.’ can use 
in place of another one /on don’t 
know how to spell the other one.”—Troy 
Times. 
Mrs. Crim'SONBeak: “Don’t the big 
fish in the sea eat the little ones?” Mr. 
Crimsonbeak: “Yes; they, like us, are 
taught to love one another.”—Yonkers 
Statesman. 
“Edmund, what made you so late?” 
“My dear, I came up in my new automo¬ 
bile, and passed the house five times 
before I could manage to stop.”—Illus¬ 
trated Bits. 
“Mother is always teiung me not to 
bolt lily food,” said a small boy, “and 
how she has gone and bolted up the 
fcufiboard that has got all the victuals.” 
—Wbmaii’S Life. 
jAooi.ES: “I notice that many of our 
millionaires claim that they don’t know 
how to do good with their money.” 
Waggles: “I guess that’s true. If they 
had been accustomed to doing good they 
would not be millionaires.”—Judge. 
“No, sir,” exclaimed the loud-voiced 
drummer in the smoker, “I’m proud to 
Slay that no house in the country has 
ihore irieii pushing its line of goods than 
Curs.” “What do you sell?” asked a 
curious one. “Baby carriages.”—Syra¬ 
cuse Herald. 
“What is the nature of this new 
fangled malady which they call the 
‘golfing spine’?” “That,” responded Cy- 
nicus, “is easy. ‘Golfing spine’ is what 
the old man used to have after a hard 
day’s plowing, but he called it the back¬ 
ache.”—New York Times. 
The lesson had been about the prodi¬ 
gal son, and the entire Sunday school 
had been properly impressed. The su- 
pediitehdeht asked: “Now, my little 
friends, who 'i^tood by, objecting to this 
proposed banquet to the prodigal?” And 
a voice in a far corner answered, “The 
calf.”—Australasiah. 
She; “You know, Johh, you promised 
me a seal-skin wrap, and—” He: “And 
you promised to keep my stockings 
darned and you haven’t done it.” She: 
“Well, you don’t mean to say you’ll 
break your promise on that account?” 
He; “Well, it’s just this: You don’t give 
a darn and I don’t give a wrap.”—Phila¬ 
delphia Press.
