“The life of an oyster,” said the scien¬ 
tific person, “may be fifteen years, but 
never more than that.” “Indeed?” re¬ 
plied Jigsby. “Then one of the oysters 
I got in a stew yesterday must have been 
about 16 years old.”—Philadelphia Press. 
Just down by the stream where the 
bracken grows she placed her easel and 
sat by it, sketching from nature. “Please, 
ma’am, is that me you’re drawing milking 
that cow in the pasture?” “Why, yes, 
mv little man, but-I didn’t know you were 
looking.” “Cos if that’s me,” continued 
the boy, unmindful of the artist’s con¬ 
fusion, “you’ve put me on the wrong side 
of the cow and I’ll get kicked over.”—
