TKS, PLAGUE TAKE HIM. 
Plague take the man who “ knows it all,” 
How pleased we’o be at his downfall; 
nls nose so keen. 
Scents all things mean. 
And that's the way he nose It all.— OnodaU’a Sun. 
“This suspense is killing me,” said the 
horse-thief who was in the hands of a mob. 
—Rochester Post. 
Flykins:— “That new comic paper has 
suspended.” Slykins:—“ Ah, another burst 
of mirth .”—Town Topics. 
Poor Fishing.—F irst Hoy:—“ D d you 
catch anything ?” Second Boy:—“Not until 
I got home.”— San Francisco IFasp. 
Friend:— “You say here, ‘He lay bathed 
in his blood.’ Wouldn’t it be better to say 
‘Weltering in his blood?’ “Novelist:— 
“Well, that’s a little old; but perhaps It 
would be weltering it in.”— Puck. 
“BUY that horse 1 Well, I guess not. He 
kicks both ways at the slightest cause.” 
Horse Healer :—“ That’s the very reason 
you should take him. See how dangerous 
it would be for anybody to attempt to steal 
him.” 
In the Same Business.— Inventor“ I 
would like to interest you in a little inven¬ 
tion by which sheep can be shorn by elec¬ 
tricity.” Broker (turning to the ticker and 
looking at the quotations):—“My dear sir, 
that’s just what I am doing.”— N. Y. Sun. 
WIFE “ I think Turner, our grocer 
has joined the church, John.” Husband :— 
“ What leads you to tnink so, my dear ?” 
Wife:—“ Why, he used to say his straw¬ 
berries were so much a quart; now he says 
they are so much a box .”—Brooklyn Life. 
She Excelled Him.—“W hat a horrible 
match Madge has made. Why, the man 
she’s taken has not one good quality.” 
*■ Oh, yes, in one respect he far surpasses 
her.” “ And what is it, pray ?” “ Why, he 
certainly has better taste than she has.”— 
Philadelphia Times. 
Rewarded.— Now comes the time when 
good old Farmer Clovertop fills the soul of 
his son of 20 years with joy and gladness, 
that spurs him to his utmost endeavor, by 
saying: “ Now, Jake, my son, you lick in 
like a good feller for the next few weeks 
and hoe that 10-acre lot o’ corn all over a 
couple o’ times, and clean ev’ry weed out o’ 
the garden, and turn over 10 or 12 acres o’ 
that sod, and git the winter firewood all 
cut, and make me a couple o’ hundred good 
oak rails, and when the Fourth o’ July 
comes you kin call on your dad fer 75 cents 
to go to the celebration, and do as you’re a 
mind to with; yes, you kin. ‘All work 
and no play makes Jack a dull boy,’ 
’cordin’ to my way o’ thiukin’, and blessed 
if you shan’t have a little o’both .”—t unch.
