Mrs. Gotham: “Yes; he likes < to 
■ cling to me for about four sea 
' Tit-Bits. 
Patient: “I have

You’d better take a hot bath, and under 
no circumstances get your feet wet.—

Hewitt: “I believe that the office 
should seek the man, not the man the 
office.” Jewett: “So do I; I live In 
a country town where there’s no rural 
delsYery.” —Judge. 
“What beautiful teeth Miss Smith 
Ihas.” “Yes, but they’re false.” “False? 
Why do you think so?” “She told me 
•that she inherited them from her 
imother.”—Boston Herald. 
Stranger: “Where can I find old 
Deacon Smith?” Little boy: “In the 
graveyard.” Stranger: “What! Is he

he was when he was put in there.”—

Dr. Brown; “Well, did you keep the 
thermometer in the room at 70 de¬

toime to do it. The only place it would 
:stay at sivinty was forninst the chim- 
;ney-piece.”—Life. 
“In your vermiform appendix,” the 
surgeon told him after the operation 
was over, “we found strange to say a 
small brass tack.” “That proves I was 
right,” feebly answered the sick man, 
“when I said it was something I had 
eaten in mince pie.”—Chicago Tribune.
