HUMOROUS 
“Did the prisoner strike you in the al¬ 
tercation?” “No, sor; in the stummick.” 
—‘Baltimore American. 
Candidate: “Yes, as I’ve already told 
you, gentlemen, you see-before you a self- 
made man.” Voice (from the back) : 
“Better ha’ put the job out, mister!” 
■—Punch. 
The Teacher: “Now Mary Ann, tell 
tjs what is a fluid?” The Small Girl: 
Please, ma’am, I think a fluid is anythin-j 
you can spill on the tablecloth.”—Phil¬ 
adelphia Press. 
Nurse: “Why are you so anxious I 
should take you to the zoo to-day?” 
Bobby: “I want to get a crack at that 
doggon stork that soaked us with twins 
last week.”—Kansas City Times. 
Miss Jones (sister of the doctor) : 
“Have you heard of Dr. Jones about 
here?” Mr. Binks: “Rather, mum! Yer 
see that ’earse and kcrridge over there. 
That’s one of ’is funerals.”-—Tatler. 
He: “But why did you lead me on to 
propose if you had no intention of ac¬ 
cepting me?” She: “Oh, Clara tbld me 
how funny you looked when you pro¬ 
posed to her, and I wanted to see for my¬ 
self.”-—Chicago Daily News. 
Church : “I like to see a man who can 
forget an injury.” Gotham: “Well, 
there’s that neighbor of mine: he’s suing 
the railroad company for an injured leg, 
and every once and a while he forgets 
to limp.”—Yonkers Statesman. 
“What makes you so late?” “The 
teacher kept me in because I couldn’t find 
Moscow on the map Of Europe.” “And 
no wonder you couldn't find Moscow! 
It was burnt down in 1812. It’s an out¬ 
rage to treat a child like that.”—Pick-Me- 
Up. 
“I understand that you have relics of 
the war for sale,” said the southern tour¬ 
ist to the little towhead. “We did have,” 
replied the boy, “but they done bought us 
out, an’ the swords dad buried last week 
won’t git rusted ’fore summer.”—Atlanta 
Constitution.
