HUMOROUS 
Although It caused within his house 
A very serious schism, 
lie still insisted flannel cakes 
Were good for rheumatism. 
—New Orleans Times-Democrat. 
Milton : “Gibson doesn’t seem to be j 
getting rich at poultry raising.” Bilton: 
“No; but he says his hens have taken to 
eating their own eggs, and he has hopes 
that they’ll become self-supporting.”—The 
New Yorker. 
“Yes,” said the condescending youth, 
“I am taking fencing lessons.” “Good,” 
answered Farmer Corntossel, “I alius said 
you was goin’ to turn in an’ do somethin’ 
useful. What’s your specialty goin' to be 
—rail, stone, or barbed wire?”—Washing¬ 
ton Star. 
“I hear your son has given up scien- 1 
tific farming. “Yes.” “What was the 
trouble?” “I believe he found that in or- j 
der to be successful the scientific farmer 
would have to work just the same as if 
he were doing it the other way.”—Chi¬ 
cago Record-Herald.
