The amateur photographer never takes a 
rest. It is about the only thing he doesn’t 
take, however.— Yonkers Statesman. 
Mrs. Ward: “Where is your husband 
working now?” Mrs. Precinct: “He 
ain’t working: he has got an office under 
the Government.” 
Customer (getting his haircut): “Didn’t 
you nip off a piece of the ear then ? ” 
Barber (reassuringly): “Yes, sir, a small 
piece, but not ’nough to affect the hearin’, 
sir.” 
Mrs. Wickwirk: “If you go first, you 
will wait for me on the other shore, won’t 
you, dear?” Mr. Wick wire: “I suppose so. 
I never went anywhere yet without having 
to wait for you at least half an hour.”— 
Terre Haute Exp i ess. 
Young America : “ How did you get 
along at school to-day, Tom?” asked 
father at the supper table. “ Papa, our 
physiology says that conversation at meals 
should be of a pleasant character,” replied 
Tom.— Congr egationalist. 
“ Count Herbert Bismarck thinks that 
if America would protect German copy¬ 
rights on books, that country might admit 
American pork,” said Squildig. “Well, 
that’s only reciprocity in products of the 
pen,” replied McSwilligen. — Pittsburg 
Chronicle. 
Got his Cue : A little boy sat on the 
floor crying. After a while he stopped and 
seemed buried in thought. Looking up 
suddenly he said: “ Mamma, what was I 
crying about ? ” “ Because I wouldn’t let 
you go out to play.” “Oh, yes,” and he 
set up another howl.— Birmingham Post 
Her Search : A gentleman in search of 
a man to do some work, met on his way a 
highly respectable lady, not so young as 
she once was. and asked her: “ Can you tell 
me where I can find a man ? ” “ No. I can¬ 
not,” she replied, smiling; “for I have 
been looking these 20 years for one myself.” 
—London Fun. 
Chauncey T)epew relates the following 
conversation he recently overheard “ down 
South ” between a lazy old “ aunty ” and 
her lazy young daughter. " Liza Jane, hev 
yo’ druv up all them chickens yet ? ” 
“Yaasma.” “ Yo’ sho’ yo’ druv’ ’em all 
up?” “ Yaas ma.” “ Yo’ count dem 
chickens, Liza Jane?” “Yaas ma.” 
“ How many wus dere, Liza Jane ? ” 
“ One.” “ Right, Liza Jane.”
