June 2, 1906. 
HUMOROUS 
“Sometimes,” said Unde Eben, “it 
’pears to me like a reformer was one o’ 
deshere people dat has to talk two hours 
an’ a half to ’spress one o’ de ten com¬ 
mandments. An’ dere warn’t no dispute 
’bout dat in de firs place.”—Washington 
Star. 
Mr. Gardner: “Well, dear, how are 
the tomatoes you planted?” Mrs. Gard¬ 
ner: “Oh, John! I’m afraid we’ll have 
to buy what we need, this year.” Mr. 
Gardner: “Why, how’s that, Mary?” 
Mrs. Gardner: “I recollected to-day that 
when I did the planting I forgot to open 
the cans !’—Puck. 
The honeymoon was over, and the hus¬ 
band, upon returning from business, was 
grieved to find his little wife crying bit¬ 
terly. “Oh! George,” she sobbed, “such a 
terrible thing has happened! I had made 
you a beautiful pie all myself, and Fido 
went and ate it!” “Well, never mind, my 
dear,” he said, cheerfully, “we can easily 
buy another dog.”—Birmingham Post. 
The ambitious country' lad had been 
reading the town papers. “Dad,” he said 
at breakfast one morning, “I’m tired of 
this here farm life. I want to go to town 
and be a corporation lawyer or a frenzied 
financier, or something of the kind.” The 
old man frowned. “Don’t talk such non¬ 
sense,” he remonstrated. “If you really 
have a strong ambition to go to jail you 
can steal somebody’s pig right around 
here, without going to all the expense of 
going to town.”—Chicago News. 
“My good woman,” said the learned 
judge, “you must give an answer in the 
fewest possible words of which you are 
capable to the plain and simple question 
whether, when you were crossing the 
street with the baby on your arm, and 
the motor car was coming on the right 
side and the dog cart was trying to pass 
the motor car, you saw the plaintiff be¬ 
tween the carriage and the dog cart, or 
the motor car and the dog cart, or wheth¬ 
er and when you saw him at all, and 
whether or not near the carriage, dog cart 
and motor car, or either, or any two, and 
which of them respectively, or how it 
was.”—Illustrated Bits.
