Humorous. 
A father said unto his hopeful son, 
• Who was Leonidas, my cherished one?" 
The hoy replied, with words of ardent nature, 
" He was a member of the Legislature." 
“ How ?” asked the parent. Then the youngster 
salth 
*' He got a pass and held her like grim dentil." 
“ iv hose pass ? What pass ?’’ the anxious father 
cried, 
“ ’Twas The’r monopoly,” the boy replied. 
—Jester. 
“ That’s the end of my tale,” as the tad¬ 
pole said when he turned into a bullfrog.— 
N. Y. Herald. 
“ Why don’t you go to work ?” “ I am 
workin’, mum. I’m workin’ this town for 
all it’s worth.” — N. Y. Herald. 
“You can’t be in two places at once.” 
“ Can’t, eh ? Well, I know a man who was 
in a pair of trousers at once.”— Puck. 
“ Do you think your father likes me ?” 
he inquired. “Oh, yes,” she answered. 
“ He said he was going to wait up to-night 
to see you.”— N. Y. Herald. 
“ Will you take me for better or worse t" 
he inquired, jocularly. She, perhaps, didn’t 
mean it in that way, but she blushingly 
replied, she, of course, would take him for 
better, because he couldn’t be worse.— 
Philadelphia Times. 
Physician (reflectively): “ H’m ! The 
case is one, I think, that will yield to a 
mild stimulant. Let me see your tongue, 
madam, if you please.” Husband of pa¬ 
tient (hastily): “ Doctor, her tongue 
doesn’t need any stimulating .”—Chicago 
Tribune.
