HUMOROUS 
Suburban Home-Hunter (knee-deep 
in mud and water) : “I thought you 
said these lots were in a dry section!” 
Agent: “They are, sir. There’s not a 
saloon in twenty miles !”—Life.. 
Kickerly : “Here, waiter, what are 
these chops—lamb or pork?” Waiter: 
“Can’t you tell by the taste?” Kick¬ 
erly: “No.” Waiter: “Well, then, 
what difference does it make?”— 
Sketch. 
“Did your husband have any index 
expurgatorius in his library?” “If 
that’s what ate a hole through th’cover 
of one of his oldest books, I guess 
he did. He called ’em worms.”— 
Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
Timid Old Lady: “Is it really very 
deep here?” Boatman: “Lor’ bless yer 
’eart, no, mum—not more’n twelve feet. 
Why, at low tide it’s that shaller yer 
can see the corpses lyin’ on the bot¬ 
tom !”—Sydney Bulletin. 
“Shadbolt, did you ever have a 
touch of anything like the appendi¬ 
citis?” “Once; have you forgotten, 
Dinguss, that when you were operated 
on for it you touched me for an even 
hundred ?”—Chicago Tribune. 
Mr. Martin : “ Mr. Miller is after 
finding out why his cow went dry.” 
Miss Hogan: “An’ phwat was it?” Mr. 
Martin: “His bye Willie milked the 
poor crayture wid wan of thim new¬ 
fangled dust-suckin’ machines!”—Puck. 
Congressman Lovering tells a good 
story of the Texas member who re¬ 
ceived a letter threatening his defeat 
unless he voted for a big duty on wool. 
This was followed a few days later 
by a telegram: “Vote as you please, I 
have sold my sheep.”—Boston Tran¬ 
script. 
“A farmer has to take chances like 
any other business man,” said the cit¬ 
izen who is interested in the uplift. 
“Yes,” answered Mr. Corntossel. “I’m 
willin’ to take all kinds of chances. 
I answer ’most every circular anybody 
sends me. But I never yet had the 
nerve to depend on free distribution 
seeds for my Summer vegetables.”— 
Washington Star. 
Seven-year-old William had become 
the proud owner of a pet pig, and 
insisted upon having all the care of 
it himself. After a few weeks, as the 
pig did not seem to thrive, his father 
said to him: “William, I’m afraid you 
are not feeding your pig enough. It 
does not seem to be fattening at all.” 
“I don’t want him to fatten any yet,” 
William replied knowingly. “I’m 
waiting until he gets to be as long as 
I want him, then I'll begin to widen 
him out.”—Woman’s Home Companion. 
In the soft twilight of the sultry 
Summer day mother came upon Young 
Hopeful standing in a brown study by 
the greenhouse door. His hands were 
clasped before him, his lips dejectedly 
parted. “Why , what’s the matter, 
lamb?” asked the mother, bending over 
him. “I’m finkin’ muvver.” “What 
about, little man?” “Have gooseber¬ 
ries any legs, muvver?” “Why, no, 
of course not, dearie!” A deeper 
shade fell athwart Young Hopeful’s 
face as he raised his eyes to hers, 
“Then, muvver, I fink I’ve swallered 
a caterpillar !”—Tit-Bits.
